Desc:
Cornucanis Style Map. No Stargate Connectors and SuperSemiconductors. Only one Stargate Blocker. Many Conversion Bomb Factories but radius of CB attack very small. Hint: CBF remains activated even under overflow of creeper. Control of Monitor by "Ctrl+Shift+H" #BravoCornucanis #ThanksToKajacx #BravoVirgil #GoodLuck

Great map. Waiting for new one.

[Weasee]

Thanks again Yum, another great map as usual!

[bgzzz]

Very hard start.

The only way I found was to

Spoiler

build a bunch of terraformer, send the CN in orbit, flat its zone at level 2. Land it again, charge the terraformers, send in orbit, flat the zone to 1.

[close]

Did I missed something ?

[Weasee]

@bgzzz here is a hint:

Spoiler

where the AC meets the creeper, it continuously drains the AC levels

[close]

you need to

Spoiler

somehow block that joining point, so the AC can build up and flip the yellow emitters

[close]

by doing this:

Spoiler

wait until the AC gets just past an emitter, then terraform to level 2 to stop the creeper eroding the AC.

Yes!  :)

Spoiler

In this map not needed to move CN or terraform terrain under it.
Main tactic - how to build and remove walls to control optimal AC flow.

To illustrate :

Spoiler

At this moment, neither N°1 path nor N°2 path (with the SB in SG yellow can progress).

If I terraform under the CN to level 1, the emitters at west are captured.

How to progress without the terraform ?

You used not optimal tactic.

Spoiler

Most strong creeper comes from red gates near your blocked yellow gate. At the beginning of game if you put blocker to this red gate you will be able to obtain 4 Multiplication Towers (total multiplicator will be 5) and when your emitters will be power=60 you can start to attack area above Blocker Home and through yellow gates.
Please try again and Good luck!  :)
P.S. If it will be not helpful I will create and attach screenshots.

ah! I got it :)

thx for advise. And thx for your awesome maps. Just waiting for a christmass tree CSM map :)

[Twi]

That was a fun one!

Spoiler

blocking the red gate really helped, as did grabbing all the bomb factories ASAP. Cut my time in half from my first run![/spoiler

I would love to know how 10 mins is possible. Not suggesting a cheat but scatching my head.

[yum-forum]

Generally it is possible if you at first attack most powerful emitters with 5 min. start delay.

Is it possible to be any more specific?   ::)

I can't even take control of the yellow stargates (which seems necessary to reach the strongest, 450 power, emitters) within 5 minutes...

Well, this was definitely an interesting map!

I'm guessing this isn't the first one like it (?) - I dunno, I just saw this was a new map & highly rated and figured I'd try it. So, apparently bombs are pretty cool. I discovered them about 2h into the game and it was really neat.

The plugs and drains and the drain plug were all new concepts to me and I just plugged what looked like an important spot and left it there for the rest of the game. There's probably a better way to do that.

All in all, it's possible to completely blunder your way through the map and learn how it works as you go. The forge has a singularity weapon capability, but I'd recommend being careful how you use it.

Spoiler

If you DO use it, I'd strongly suggest you "walk" the singularity away towards a corner. Otherwise when it pops it might send a tsunami your way.  ;)

Sometimes the creep would come up over the land I had terped to 2. It didn't come up over land terped to 9 though, so that became my new standard.

This is a very very cool map and I love the concept, Yum! I'll look for some other maps like this and try them out.

Great work - thanks for the map!  ;D ;D ;D
