one big once large/high (9 connected emitters (all), 3 surface emitters, 2 gateways with strong drones, phantom count 12) Fun :)

It is not too difficult if you can grab both the red and silver gem. You put up two shields to grab the silver gem, and you could probably even get a shield right next to the emitter in the beginning if you so desired. Actually, I just checked, and you can. ;)

Finally. I lost count of how many times I had to restart this map.  My energy management sucks.

I learnt a lot about split-second-timing, pausing and saving - although, by the time I saved the game frequently enough, I only needed one restart from a saved game file. :(

Somewhere someone mentioned the map C++ medium/high. I've been trying this map for a few days now. I'm always *this* close, but then I get beat. Anyone else had any success? It is those 12 drones at 39 second intervals that seems to best me.

Also, I think you meant phantoms, not drones. :)

How do you get a shield next to the emitter in under 12 seconds I tried excavating to it but by the time a path is opened the creeper comes out just too far to get a shield in place. Immediately after the map begins the creeper is dense enough to be on the other side of the emitter where as in your screenshot it is only on the left side.

I did not have any problems. I was able to build the shield by 13, and the fields don't move until 17. I don't know why yours would be any different... ???

Well I was able to overcome the emitter from the left with repulsors and a blaster but I am still curious as to why on mine my emitter has one extra subcell of creeper lol. Oh well guess we'll never know. Thanks for the quick response.

Not too hard, and you have a sense of urgency because theres ground that breaks releasing 12/12 drones, and then eventually all connects into one big chamber.  (Also much more ground to break on the right releasing the main chamber).

This map Spartan Large/High was very interesting, I had to restart a couple times because the pocket of drones kept overwhelming me.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THEM.

snow from for medium/high

Extremely hard non-experimental map - mostly because of the ridiculous shortage of build space. If I knew what I was doing ahead of time I could vastly improve my time, but there's decaying terrain almost everywhere along with an extremely annoying field that rotates quickly and covers almost the entire map along with 2 gateways both spawning high health drones.

EDIT: Found a *much* faster way to go about this map - it's extremely obscure though and involves LS drone evasion for long periods of time.

Not very hard, but kinda funny when 'titan creeper emmiters' connects to each other. Making large amounts of creeper with their power 'combined'. Not so often can see that  :) .
