here it comes :) full commentary again, but just one take, no script, just what i thought of spontaneously https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NhxO2NNnvs&list=PLDuUTUjvbZY0hhByU81RfiIWmNmyifayp&index=1
:) everything you build are structures. you may blow up a new structure only before any build packets were sent to it. I upload a new video for this on youtube :D
8/12 which starting position do you like most, the eastern or the northern small island, or the main south-western plateau? the latter is challenging but great fun :)
8/11 - 2:27 the layout here is not from the record time, only the results screenshot is, but i didn't change the best layout, this is just from the next try (unsuccessful) to get a better time : http://imgur.com/a/g8qnK it's only a slight modification of hawk45's layout. this was crazy hard to beat... if you can't get it done in 2:28, the lowest lying collector (west) blows up.
@chilese: thanks :) the crystal cursor from the free version of stardock.com/products/cursorfx was nice and useful. i needed it to be see through for some tasks. example: usual cursor images don't let you read the text of menus under them. my old laptop was increasingly messy, so i bought a new one and didn't set up any fancy stuff except the windows native colour inverted mouse. it's not half as awesome as that crystal thing, but it does the job fairly well.
@all who want to know how can you get world record times, ask and we'll love to give you answers. also check out this playlist i made back in 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWmjPfLIg7I&index=1&list=PLDuUTUjvbZY0hhByU81RfiIWmNmyifayp
@chilese & all the masters - hey guys. this game was my favourite of all games i know or own (even against starcraft...) ever since i discovered it. even before i found your comments :) sorry for not posting much in a while... i have some serious debts from my previous bad decisions (like getting a scientific education up to phd) to pay off, so i'm working on my biz all the time. i mean seriously ALL the time, when i'm not eating or sleeping. ridiculous focus and work ethic. but i'll definitely come back to you all. i love to read your comments. it's always like a challenge to beat your times, especially on special constraints like no floating or moving :)
6/21 correction: i didn't float the city until the green packets were produced for the last totem, but after that i floated it until the packets travelled.
6/21 - 2:02 @chilese electrons on steroids :) thanks for your tipps! http://imgur.com/a/NUjZT there was a collector in the place where the SAM was floating. i only built the SAM when that collector was almost blown up. i didn't float the city, only the SAM - hard to do (a little diagonally) because there is not much room for movement in that position. it get's diconnected if it moves away a bit, so it has to float in the same position (a LOT of "P" key hitting like turrets syndrome).
6/21 - 2:12 @hawk45 and i sweat blood. i tried a slightly different layout, see the second picture below http://imgur.com/a/aLB4P the gate opens at 2:08 and that's the moment when one of my collectors is blown up. but of course the timer doesn't stop immediately when the gate opens. how did you get 7 seconds below this time... amazing! and RFI? wow.
