Different--this is the first time I've beaten one of these stargate maps with a bunch of creeper left on the screen.

[Twi]

The way they're put together makes me want/need to terraform a bunch more, but these two maps are both pretty good in their own right!

I took a slightly different approach to this map..

Spoiler

I hijacked the creeper cascade at its source very early on, and made it work to my advantage instead of magnifying the creeper output.

In addition, I've noticed that since the conversion bomb factories are not disabled when the creeper overflows them you can effectively permanently activate another factory with a single conversion bomb. That means you can quickly get a nice supply of conversion bombs going.

Thanks for making the map, I really enjoyed it! I didn't have to do much terraforming using the above strategy, so it was interesting to take a different approach. My strategy on my second playthrough was completely different from my original.

Also, kudos on extracting your own template map from one of yum's maps and making your own with it, as well as going through all the steps necessary to resize the map when these scripts are in effect. I presume that's how you created this map since there hasn't been a publicly released template containing these units as far as I know. I don't even have a template with them since kajacx created the last few units  ;D

I don't know if you (the map author) even check the forums, but if you see this feel free to give us a shout in the discord, or even here on the forums! Kajacx or yum should be able to get you a template with all the latest units if you'd like, though you seem to have managed just fine without one  ;)
