tav17: Your score on these longer missions is truly amazing. I'm just over ten minutes for both 11/1 and 11/2 and you are under 7 and 6 minutes for both. On the quick levels I can come very close to your scores, but you must have a gift on these longer ones. My respect.

At least it isn't a move and build two collectors map :) In any case, let the collector in the middle get eaten, it's served its purpose. http://i.imgur.com/AKInm5Q.jpg Don't see much to do better on that map except I didn't try moving to the bottom-most mesa first (end point for Odin in pic).

10/30 - 1:52 for me after 3 attempts. I initially was in the 3 minute range until I saw your time hawk45 and realized it was again time to for Odin to soar.

nice hawk. i got 1:23 for 10/29 and cant see anywhere to cut down time. got the totems to activate at 1:19 but by the time Odin makes it to the warp thing its 1:23 for me

10/29 - 1:24 I think maybe 1:20 might be possible. Get the power-up as soon as possible and drop Odin City into the creeper to connect the final totem after the first 2 totems have been activated.

@chilese I started off by moving Odin next to the furthest right totem.

While I was able to get a 1:10 on 10/27, I have no idea how hawk45 got a 3:11 on 10/25. My best time on that level is over 9 minutes. If you could post a picture of your layout, I'd offer my thanks.

I really prefer stages you can't beat it 1:12 like 10/27. It's more fun to have to build up something, but at the same time, if you do that it feels like you're just delaying, which feels suboptimal... Well, that's where personal challenges come in. Not using collectors or blasters seems like it could be fun...

Frustrating exercise :) It's rough enough with blasters, of course move the left two totems one square closer and it would a trivial map you'd finish in a minute...

It's too hard to explain how fun it is. The amount of though, the strategy involved makes this a very fun game, and this game...I can't stop playing. Sometimes, I just wonder why people would rate this under 5/5.

Good call on the 23rd (I got it down to 3:40, but a lot can go wrong there). For better times you usually fight as little as possible, but sometimes it pays off. 5 min for the 24th and 4 minutes for the 25th here, I can see room for improvement on both I guess, but 3 min on either would be surprising :)

Day after day I schemed, planned, battled. To reach the Totems as quickly as possible. To achieve Odin City's escape. But why? To send the City to yet another creeper-infested location? As the Odin City Elders demand?
But I eventually paused to wonder. Why do they insist on this endless battle? Why can't we go far away? Far away from this madness?
I came to realize the "snap! snap!" of the capping blasters was the only joyful music in Oden City. The only time when the surroundings were green. Free of the menace. The only time the people of Odin were truly free. Truly content.
And now, despite the Elders' complaints, their General now strives to give The People their hour in the Sun each day. I can't change the Elders' plan. But I alone fight the enemy. I know their tactics. I can stuff the blue bastards and make the people happy, if only for awhile. They deserve that much.

@hawk45 got 3:19 on 10/23 using a mortar instead of 2 blaster at the top and didnt bother to get the upgrade at the top. took me like 5 tries to get it right and i still think i could have done a little better.
@chilese ya i always think i have an awesome time untill someone posts their time and i have to go back and keep trying till i get close to them.

@ugahgithurts I started off by moving Odin between the two upgrades. It's possible to finish faster than 3:38 using this strategy. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=suvkp3&s=5#.UmkdAGjD_q5

tav17: It's due to your posting of the 10/21 time that I went back. I keep forgetting that Odin City can plunge into the creeper. Thanks.

@hawk45 nice times. i love it when people post there good times bc it makes me go back and try to get better than i had on them. got 10/22-1:28, 10/21-1:32 10/20-1:52. wish there was a highscore list so we didnt have to keep posting them and getting negative votes from d-bags
