Kudos Grabz Bombers map. Medium size game with new concept of Bombers Airport. More tactics and srategy needed. Enjoy if possible! :) #GoodLuck

How??  Those fast bombers fall so far back that they keep poking holes in your base no matter what.

[Grabz]

Poking holes is not fatal to your base, if you cover it in a coating of AC. As the opening conversation suggests, you can switch your Sprayers to Always On so they always run, covering your base in an effective safety net.

Alternatively, you can try sticking to the left side border of the map, so that the infinite range bombers fly off the map upon destruction.

If you have enough of it.

I wouldn't give you hints at a strategy that doesn't work for the map.

Spoiler

This is a stalemate. The very fast bombers don't carry a lot of creeper, so they get completely stopped by the AC in the back of the base. You can work up from here. Remember that bombers always target the closest unit, you can use this to an advantage to funnel all the bombers towards a single direction, so long as you don't advance too far on the right side.

Think about this like you would think about defending against Air Sac bombs in upcoming CW4 (if you follow the development) where you want a coating of AC to defend against stray creeper.

Nice map, though I just tanked the hits - hell yeah a few reactors gone, so what.

That face with the mouth was making me cringe for some reason.
Made me avoid playing this for quite the time, until I couldn't bear viewing it in the previews anymore.

That face with the mouth was making me cringe for some reason.

Coulrophobia (the fear of clowns) maybe? According to fearof.net it's the 88th most common phobia out there, and totally understandable.

This was a pretty enjoyable challenge. I do really like fighting against similar units.

If you build beams just north of the mouth, with at least 1 range upgrade, they fall in the mouth.
If you build stuff on the sides of the map, the bombers will fall off the map when you shoot them down.

Thanks for the map! =)
