feedback, as always, please

in some ways i don't like giving feedback to you dude, cos i always worry i am coming across as whining...

i'm not, make the maps you like to make... but i think unit limits, lack terps in chaotic terrain maps, and the slow down effects these choices make certain put me off.

i would prefer a few terps, no collector limits, enough reactors (or PZ's to put fewer reactors on) and enough weapons to play this map and have fun.

sorry man, but if you enjoy this sort of thing then keep making them, others are having fun with them i'm sure.

but i suspect the lower ratings are due to the limits etc on this sort of map.

since i don't play much i don't rate a map i don't enjoy, i think it is unfair if i haven't completed it to rate it, but i know others do not feel the same.

No problem
Thanks for playing

Thankfully we all like different things! Make maps for yourself, some people will like them, some won't. That's all there is to it!

I am stuck though, cleared the map, levelled round the AC emitter and tried a collector, relay and CN on the PZ and cannot fire that last nullifier. Stuck!

no worries, always happy to have a bash, just not always stimulated into finishing all maps! 8)

Save/reload and try again

Yeah it's not happening, I think thi might be one of those if you don't know it, you don't know it tricks. :(

Spoiler

CN on the PZ

[close]

But it may not work unless you save/reload map.

D0m0nik · August 21, 2021, 10:27:35 AM

It doesn't work either way, surley the range of a CN on PZ is not affected by reloads?

Martin Gronsdal · August 21, 2021, 10:35:12 AM

Yes, it is. It was so for me. I termed terrain to 10, saved and reloaded and landed CN on PZ. It worked then

BTW: what PZ are we talking about?

D0m0nik · August 21, 2021, 11:05:53 AM

The -5 AC one

D0m0nik · August 21, 2021, 11:08:23 AM

like this

Martin Gronsdal · August 21, 2021, 11:23:17 AM

yes, so fly the CN away, save the game, load the save and fly the CN back to the PZ. I think it's a glitch in the game, that it doesn't work all of the time.

also, the CN has to be dead centre on the PZ, but you knew that ;)

D0m0nik · August 21, 2021, 12:24:15 PM

Must be a bug, makes no difference for me, the nullifier is just out of range. By your rational the range of the CN on the PZ would increase after a reload, that would be odd! The CN gets a boost to range on a CN as a standard feature, reloading does not increase that.

Martin Gronsdal · August 21, 2021, 02:18:28 PM

I think it's more due to the nullifier being outside of the map
