Kudos to the most challenging and fun mission I've played yet! It took me several times to get a plan that held ground. I tried to beat this one with only infantry - to my great demise! I'm looking forward to more displays of great talent out there.


Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Thanks! (Verdagon, take a bow, buddy!)

Does OMNI send small forces to constantly harass you? Cuz I'm addicted to towers after playing UGMC's Portal.


Merlinus, I LOVE playing towers in this level! Try "leapfrogging" your base upwards into the pass as you go! (hint - I also love to use corp--- wait, I'm giving too much away! Wink )

Nope! Uh-uh. I like using them too much. Well, okay. If everyone feels they unbalance the level too much, we can remove them on the hard setting. Is that a good compromise?

But then, it would be kinda unfair if the COMPUTER had...

OOPS! I did it again!

Actually, you don't need to use raiders to win this level. I just like to use 'em. Why destroy a building when you can take it over? That way, your troops can be built there and gotten to the front quicker.

Come to think of it, I don't think there is a single tactic you absolutely must use to beat this level. Since the computer responds to what you do, it very much depends on your style of play. The way that works best for you in other missions (with perhaps a little adjustment) is your best bet.

What the computer specifically does about towers depends on the circumstances, but the short answer is "yes." Build alot of towers and the computer will come along and knock'em right back down again. I've tried using nothing but towers, and leapfrogging them, but it didn't work so well without a backup. Either the terrain wasn't hospitable to new structures, or the computer's response was too great.

I CAN tell you that it is impossible to write triggers for every conceivable situation, so you may find a way to win that the computer really isn't equipped to handle. When there are this many triggers interracting with each other, though, the computer seems to take on a life of it's own, and it gets hard even for a mission's author to predict what a given response will be.

Why did my "thank you" post appear in the topic? I didn't submit it in here.

I thought you were thanking me for letting Portal influence me so much.[/quote]
