DON'T PLAY THIS MAP ANYMORE, I ASKED FOR REMOVING IT FROM THE COLONIAL SPACE.
I didn't expect "players" found funny to stop the timer at 5 seconds....

Hi,

less than one minute after uploading this one, I got a 1 rate (I don't really care about rate), but then 2 "hacks", then two more "hacks" ... Only Gambit scored it in 24 hours ! (In fact it's not a hack, i left a hole in the script, but I didn't imagine there were people who feel proud to score on it !!).

I think now, the average time of 0.05 makes players believe that it's not a real game... So i wrote to administrator to ask him to remove it and I hope he will asap.

Anyway, until it's there, you can download and play it in your editor.

thanks for your interest.

That's why this time I add help IN the game.
And why I ask administrator to remove this map.

Thanks for your comment

Note: The default keybinding for "screenshot" is F12 for me. I found this out while trying to access the help you mentioned.

It looks wonderful so far.

.... My default key for screenshot is F11... I will look for a unique key available on all different keyboard... (if you have an idea...)

H sounds good (hope everyone has an H on keyboards...).

Just notice you live in the country of one of the best (to me) film-maker : Aki Kaurismaki and a great novelist : Rosa Liksom...
How lucky you are ;)

The first time I played, I wondered how 5s was possible. The third attempt, the bug happened to me.

I'm not sure how to begin, as most of the map is covered pretty fast...

Spoiler

and the only practical CN spot I saw (S, middle, hill) was flattened by a tripod quite quickly. I assume that it's intentional that they are shot near the back, but place Creeper some way in front? And take slightly more than a full set of Sniper ammunition to kill?

[close]

The higher flow rates are difficult to adjust to... and without Terps or Shields, AC looks like the only practical recourse.

It looks like ~double flow rate horizontally, and ~1/2 vertically, allowing cannons to blast away at a wall of Creeper, clearing a cell, only to have it fill again next frame.

If you can tell me how, I will be glad.

I repost and (hope) correct it...

Regarding the gameplay, as always, it looks difficult, but it's not at all.
The good place for cn is clearly visible (gray square at the top near ressources), two sniper are enough to kill a tripod.
The main weapons are created by the Lunardi Workshop.
