Desc:
For CW1: Space limits For CW2: Fields For CW3: CRPL And, as a special bonus - no added Creeper! You're here to clean up this planet. Now with a free Forge, and double-strength Totem!

[Keeper Decagon]

I love it! An unusual and fun way to play a map, for sure! :)

[Loren Pechtel]

Am I missing something?  I don't seem to be reducing the creeper despite a whole bunch of mortar fire on it.

[GoodMorning]

You're hitting it, but not really denting it?

That's because it starts deep enough that a PZ Bertha won't clear it, even in the middle of the overlap zone. Those fields I gave you are extremely strong. If you don't unpause at the beginning, you'll see it's a uniform 400 deep (the Forge island excepted).



Decagon: Thank you. I'm starting to wonder about recreating the Dark Beam now that my CRPL is a bit better.

Decagon: Thank you. I'm starting to wonder about recreating the Dark Beam now that my CRPL is a bit better.

Oh boy, now that's something I'd like to see!

Well, that's one of these maps that
a) look boring at the first sight
b) I start to to hate after first placement of units
c) makes me clueless pretty fast
d) let me doubt on my own state of mind
e) let me doubt on the map makers state of mind
f) makes me feel deeply satisfied when I figured out how to win
g) makes me write strange forum posts after winning

Great job and greetings from The Shire!

[GoodMorning]

Thanks.

(I ... think?) :)

[Sorrontis]

Definitely a compliment!

Wow! This was a really fun map! Who would've thought ~4 years later we still have such creative maps!

If you're stuck...

Edit : It's actually about ~4 years! Wow! Time flies by!

I understand bilbos comment perfectly, I had to check the strength of my wine, I only had a small glass!

Yes, those blue things ARE MOVING!!!

Sometimes rebuild maps are frustrating, this is genius, great map!

[GoodMorning]

Thank you. I'll admit to being surprised.

Out of interest, D0m0nik, how much did this alter your tactics? I get the impression that speedruns tend to involve destroying the least amount of Creeper possible, because that takes time. How did it feel to have to destroy as much Creeper as possible?

[BilboGCL]

@D0m0nik: EXACTLY this!


Greetings from The Shire!
