The provided Emitters gradually boring a path into the opposing ships was almost hypnotic. The momentary freeze when one of the big ones in the lower-right was respawned as a bridge was distracting to the point that I warped the HQ over there to remove the spawner immediately.

This seems to be a workable method of maintaining difficulty as the map progresses without lag-causing quantities of particles in the beginning.

Yep, when a big ship spawns the screen freezes a bit. That is with all the 'Big Sips' used. The ShipSpawners are set to 200 SpawnDelay and i think i will change that in the future to a higher value. Specially with prebuild ships the spawndelay can be higher than 200.

Yeah, if there is lag [and on the bigger maps there is] it's because of the Big Ships and maybe some Mire but with this setup i could manage the Particle Count in a way so that doesn't give lag.

It took me a while to understand how MVP rock burner is.

Aha, a new strategy :)
I didn't use RockBurner, where did u use it for?

What? Didn't you make the map? Each super mirer has 1 tile wide piece of land behind it, burning it cuts a large chunk of land from hostile mire. I thought they were made this way on purpose.

If I can access the mirers with omnis, I just let the omnis destroy them rather than rock burn them.

Yes, i made these maps so i can tell you that the super mirer with 1 tile of land behind it you mention are the super struc makers for the red structure line in the maps.

Cutting off these 1 tiles of land will prevent the mire from crossing over. But then the mire will try to find another way so you have to block that off also.

With destroying mirespawners usually i go with the same strategy as stdout's

"Struck maker" is a mire spawner in space. Of course I wasn't talking about normal mirers on land.

"Struck maker" is a mire spawner in space. [...]

To be clear: The easiest way for mapmakers who are unused to PRPL to have regenerating Struc is to place a mire spawner in space and change a few settings. With PRPL, Struc growth is easier to accomplish, and does not require a mire spawner. So using the term here caused confusion.

OK, good to know we speak about the same Unit. Now the confusement is gone.
There are a lot of ways to play these maze maps [with combo of Techs] and your idea works on all maps!
