on the July 28 mortars only challenge: if you use a few less reactors than i did, maybe you can get a better time than 10:51, but i don't know exactly how much do you need for the best possible time. maybe 5 less than i have built http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/3476/ziju.jpg http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/7373/z1yr.jpg

SUPER CHALLENGE: July 28. JUST MORTARS!! No blasters, or drones. I gave up after 20 minutes. Don't know if it can be done. It is definitely the hardest challenge I've offered. I won't be offended if you don't try it.

probably some of you can beat that 4:57 on the only blasters challenge, but i stick with my first try :) i have 2 cats now. they are only 15 weeks old and love to play, so not that much time left for me for other games :) not that i'd regret :D THEY ARE CUTE! :D

here comes the SPOILER layout for june 25 without weapons in 1:28 http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/738/igjr.jpg AND in 1:32 - the right position: http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4004/d0zz.jpg and finish: http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/4559/lsnd.jpg @LydonC: i didn't say it would be easy :) but probably it's impossible to get 1:26 :D

@iMiPi: so crazy :D did 1:29 without weapons with your strategy. Tried to improve time, but failed with timing/precision of mouse clicks - too nervous task :)

It's so nice that Creeper World: Evermore has the so called "Survival Mode", but then I discovered that emitters increase growth rate, so I am trying to play for one hour and cancelling totem packets so that I can play longer. Anyways, my mom always prevent me playing for one hour continous.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@iMiPi: I worship the ground you float above. The best I can get is 5 collectors gathering 2 upgrades. I can build all 5 collectors but the creeper gets my bottom totem around 1:10. I have no idea how you exist until 1:28 without weapons. Do you build stuff to act as a dam or something?

July 25 weaponless goes to iMiPi! Post your map iMiPi. I failed in about 4 tries... curious to see what I missed. I was always about 2 seconds short. Good call on that as a challenge chilese.

July 25th with no weapons? A nice idea :) Thanks! Was fun to do! :D I have made a few technical failures and so it took 1:32 - a little longer than it should be. You should get sub 1:30 If you play flawless. First i only give you the proof i did it without weapons and you tell me if you want to see the spoiler map layouts http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/3238/70q.jpg http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/4673/b9nj.jpg

July 25th w/o weapons also looks like impossible, filled around 80% of last totem before those collector gone away under water =( . With weapons 1:42

You 2 guys humble me every time. CHALLENGE: (Probably impossible) July 25th with no weapons. I got close, but the creeper always broke my last collector before activation. I ended up with a 3:37 using weapons for my first with weapon time.

Oops! Mentida (inadvertent). That was my fourth attempt (not counting the abandoned one, which I guess technically makes 5). fwiw My times were 4:47, 4:00, (abandoned failure), 3:54, 3:53.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I like a challenge, chilese. 3:53 (also my third attempt, with one "abandoned" attempt, and I shaved a whole second off between the 2nd and 3rd). http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/9796/oxuz.jpg And I didn't look at your map until after, iMiPi. Very similar of course, but with one major difference. I'll save my map post as a spoiler if necessary.

@Stotty652: if this is too hard for you, 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! :)

July 24. 5 minutes even on my 3rd attempt. The Challenge. Show me how its done gentlemen ( and ladies if you are present ).

@Stotty, this version of the game is really just designed for people that have a good foundation and just like playing lots of levels. Try Creeperworld user space for a more linear approach to understanding the game. There is a link just above

@stotty652 wow, really? I never willingly do tutorials in a game unless it's some complicated RTS (like homeworld). But this game is pretty straightforward. after a few minutes of experimentation you should figure out what everything does. And as to the spores, all you needed was a healthy wall of SAMs, the spores wouldn't make it halfway to the nearest reactor.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
to be honest, the tutorial doesn't cover more than a third of the buildings available, and having played for half an hour and not beating a single level, I struggle to see how there is a way to win, especially with the spore attack that wipes out EVERYTHING you've built as the creepers 'creep' way to fast and back you into a corner so you have to centralise everything!!!
In conclusion, I hate this game.

@chilese: as i said, this wasn't serious testing. on some maps it will be better to chose the 20% build speed upgrade over the 10% energy upgrade. it's just rare. it sounds contradictory at first. but think about when do the 2 upgrades take effect: the 10% energy upgrade is ALWAYS on. the 20% build speed upgrade is only on IF you build and WHEN you build. it only makes the build packets come out 20% faster from the city, so you still have to wait for the last packet to travel with normal speed to the building site, and only after that you can send new packets there - and use the 20% bonus only for the production time from the first packet to the last.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@iMiPi: Thanks. I am very surprised that the +20% isn't a better first choice. Obviously, my logic is faulty. My education continues. :-)

@chilese: WARNING: i just made this for fun. it's not serious testing. i was too tired to do it as it should be done: FIRST TRY, 20% build bonus, 6:31, score 9020: http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/6661/u9gr.jpg http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/7775/ek0f.jpg http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/9327/1vj6.jpg http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/6600/j82.jpg http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/483/gpfc.jpg and SECOND TRY, 10% energy bonus, 6:12, score 9063: http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/6894/wh7c.jpg http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/3420/6t0b.jpg http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/7220/qqli.jpg http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/2608/sfcr.jpg http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/4601/8y3i.jpg WHY was this not serious testing? obviously, i should try many times on both upgrades to get excellent times on both. i didn't. so, don't take this too seriously :)

@iMiPi: I have a favor to ask. Would you do the build speed upgrade vs. energy upgrade experiment on July 22? I went from 8420 to 8666. I'm sure you'll crush my time either way. No drones if you'd like to make the experiment more dramatic. Thanks.

@SmileyFaucet: use the pause: key "p" or click on the pause button. @chilese: mostly it's better NOT to build near the first location of the city, except on some rare maps.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@chilese: the july 13 map is a good example for the 10% energy upgrade being better than the 20% speed bonus. there we had to build just a very few structures, and needed to load the blaster and totems simultaneously at the end. therefore 10% more energy was better by 3 seconds game time. with the 20% build bonus only in 1:40 http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7295/0fkp.jpg http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/2705/yq4g.jpg http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/7544/mi2v.jpg but with the 10% energy bonus in just 1:37 http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/2483/0o7l.jpg http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/7794/u2kb.jpg http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/3572/ekxn.jpg

Could you stop it from going into survival mode after 60 minutes? I play the game really slowly while doing other stuff and it's very annoying to have your sprawling networks of reactors destroyed in 2 seconds through no fault of your own.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Question of the game for all you time-junkies™. Is it better to build some collectors and move over them or to just move the city to its best spot and build from there? My best time on July 20 (3:36) came from moving the city immediately, but I am open to all of your insights.
