The next installment in my old foes series, sorry it took so long, this one's a doozey! lots of adjustments had to be made to get it to where it is... and the start sucks! Good luck, you know the drill, and if you don't play the other maps in the series first! check comments for more.

Sorry I kep lt you guys waiting, I hope it was worth it!! Like I said, the beginning's a pain! First, keep your city safe, then, keep the other city safe, then worry about the danger spores... It goes 3, 4, 5. Then every 2 minutes you get 5. Once again, the survivors of the other city are under an artifact on a raised platform... Though this time, when the other city landed, the ground underneath then gave out. So there's a small pit around the survivors. Good luck! Feel free to message me with any thoughts, comments, questions, praise, complaints, or concerns. (praise is of course, most appreciated. XD)

Pretty fun  :)

Ya, my score really stunk just because I was messing around with it. I ended up capping every emitter before getting the totems.

[CtopherMI]

Yup, that was a fun one, but for some reason I didn't build any drones until I was over half way through.  Duh!  And I thought the spores were going to start with 5, so overbuilt sams early on...

Still, that was a fun map :)

I think the emitters to the left and right of the survival pod were a lil weak, I don't think it would die for quite a while.

[CtopherMI]

At least you can connect to and keep the city alive this time LOL

[Ebon Heart]

Hehe... Once again, the way you did it, the text in this mission makes no sense.
EDIT: btw, how exactly did you guys get the mortars on the left and right up fast enough??

Spoiler

I ended up making the mortar on the left attatched to my second collector, and my mortar on the right connected to my third collector. After that, I moved them, let them get a few shots off, then floated them around while the creeper pulled back.

Great story I like it!  ;D

The best I've been able to manage is saving some of the weapons from the city (with partial ammo load) and hold on for 5 or 6 minutes before I get overrun.  ::) I'm about to delete this as unwinnable; what's the trick?

[Ebon Heart]

one trick is to

Spoiler

build one blaster, and fly the OC right by the lost city once a few SAMS die and make room. There's JUST enough space to the right of it.... either that, or you can do what I did and get mortars up, it takes a lot of precision though.

I never saw enough space to land until the creeper got too deep. (I did a touch and hover in the center of the pit to snag the city weapons.)

[Ebon Heart]

I tried it... idk how you get started from the side, honestly. This is a map I made ages ago, I forget all the tricks to it. But I did manage to get started normally though. When you do it like this, it's a bit harder to get the artifact... but easier to start. Just use mortars to keep the pits down, build reactors, and a drone to keep the creeper off of the survival pod. And, also, the middle pit will only stay down for so long.

This is a really tough map! I cannot figure out how to keep the creeper back at the start. I've read the comments but it is impossible. Did you tweek this lately to make it more difficult or something?
