@deathvonduel: the point in survival mode is how long does it take for the creeper to kill the city. build energy collection to exactly 32 densely packed with reactors far from the creeper, about 12 drones (in the backyard too), some speed nodes and storage, and FILL the map with mortars and blasters positioned strategically. you may create fallback points for the city (empty spaces where you can land, near and far the emitters) - it's better for ammo delivery if the city is near the creeper masses. use some tactics to replace almost empty blasters at the front line. EVEN if you do everything right, I'm sure you can not hold out 3 hours in survival mode, NOT counting the starting 60 minutes.
@deathvonduel: switch OFF the green orb on the city. Some of the pro players experimented a lot with survival mode. Check out the comments around July 8. @Kyndryd: seriously? you don't even look at the IN GAME control panel? but you bother to type in a comment? duh!
this is an info about depletion limit. if you want to know more, look at the comments around may 28. here is a part of one of my old comments: 32 is the built-in limit for the depletion. i tested it with 30 speed nodes and energy storage up to 600. i kept the energy at almost maximum - see on the pic - and pushed the collection as high as possible. with 569 energy and collection 61.3, the depletion is only 32. http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/8896/dep320coll613def17450en.jpg
@Stainedclass: the missions feel similar to chronom because they are all created automatically. There are a few seed maps and a code generates unique maps from them.

My 2nd regular beat on Aug 10 is 5:46.

I learned a lot again on many aspects: how much damage the city can stand, how fast it repairs, more effective building order and movement of the city, more effective mortar bombing walk routes... This was amazing! THANKS! And HATS OFF TO YOU - I won't try to get sub 8 on the no move challenge. By Aug 28 I have to file my tax report for 2012. @chilese: thanks! :) The spoiler layout will not help much if you don't use the same timing for building order, city movement/hovering, bombing walks, activating ammo individually and globally and for totem loads. Have fun at experimenting with these ideas!
Aug 10 CHALLENGE: don't move the city! :) My first try with this constraint - 9:37 Stats graph: http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/680/mzgx.jpg SPOILER LAYOUT: http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/2295/dkb6.jpg Who can go sub 9? :)
Aug 10 is the first intrinsically hard map since ages! Finally one where we don't need to set up constrains to make it an interesting challenge :) I only could get one second on FroztySilva - 6:36 Results screen: http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9443/9on4.jpg Stats graph: http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/6178/j59v.jpg SPOILER LAYOUT: http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/7762/6wyd.jpg @FroztySilva: did you get sub 10 on the 7th aug. challenge? @everyone who's complaining: READ THE IN GAME HELP AND USE IT and if that's not enough politely ask for help
ALL WHO THINK THIS GAME IS HARD: check the first 3 versions of the game before you play this one. the first version is named "Creeper World Training Sim" here: http://www.kongregate.com/games/whiteboardwar/creeper-world-training-sim ...the second "Creeper World: User Space" here: http://www.kongregate.com/games/whiteboardwar/creeper-world-user-space ...the third "Creeper World 2: Academy" here: http://www.kongregate.com/games/whiteboardwar/creeper-world-2-academy ...after that you will be able to play "Creeper World: Evermore" ...the CW:E missions are not always tough. actually you can finish some in about 70 seconds, but only if you KNOW what to do. so... get your butt to the training, private! :)
7th aug. challenge, 3rd try, some more optimization of strategy and tactics - 9:50.

7th aug. challenge, a little better time on second try 11:01 with a different strategy. Results screen: http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/1394/a8je.jpg Stats graph: http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/8329/oe4k.jpg SPOILER LAYOUT: http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/9360/69k1.jpg
@chilese: thanks! :) it's mostly easier to go around at the side of the map. i defended and advanced with tandem blasters as FroztySilva said he did. the drone cleaned up the deepest far pools about where i planned to push in. and i sent the mortar on many cleanup walks into near deep pools (far once at the beginning before i had the drone), and called back to reload when out of ammo.
sure :) it can be done. but i didn't try this time to get a great time. i enjoyed the low ground :) i did it in 15:35.

@theguywhorages: all that you said is on http://knucklecracker.com/ i bought the game, so i can create my own maps already :) i published 3 of my maps and more than 100 guys played each of them :) my name on knucklecracker is iMiZR1

On the Aug 3 CHALLENGE (6 Blasters or less, No other weapons, No Pause) i barely could finish (7:12) before the spores arrived. Definitely impossible to do the same on Double Speed. SPOILER LAYOUT: http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/3578/00rx.jpg
