@@theguru1112 no easy way for this mission is mine for blurite and use the solar and palce them down every area, this way you don't need as many mines for energy. he can collect more but he's not instead wasting some mines to produce energy , f or sweeper he just needs one, 2 and more starts costing too much. thing is the whole pool produces creep creating always on sprayers will help clean the sides and move anti creep to the middle while using weapons to more reduce the creep
@@cursedhawkins1305 In addition to the points others made below (sweepers, mines harvesting blueite), he could have also put his ERNs on the turrets doing absolutely nothing at the side of the pool and made a kill squad to burn the creep down faster. I kept screaming in my head for him to do exactly this lol
@@RuNoMai You would still need to make an actual clear area for them to land because apparently the pool is surrounded by an invisible barrier that will prevent Anti-Creep from flowing into the pool, guess the map creator didn't want the map to be that easy!
So they combined insanely high creep production, with a rather low limit (so the pool would not overflow). Reminds me of that idea of a "equilibrium" map a while back.
You need to attack along the path of the sweepers to fully utilize them. With the anti creep push the weakened creep would fall rapidly along the direction the sweeper lasers are going.
I ringed the pool with shields to keep any creep waves and AC contained then slowly nibbled my way to a foothold on the bottom then added sweepers in to help slowly shield creep across.
Creeper world levels are very similar to WWI-style battles of attrition over large areas, so "bite and hold" tactics which were effective later in the war _would_ work here too :)
I think the lasers did way more than tom gave them credit for. They depleted a whole portion of the "rebuild capacity" and prevented the big waves I reckon...
I definitely agree that they likely prevented the wave effect from absolutely wrecking his stuff, especially when that caused a big problem for him earlier on.
@@PierceArner lasers basically trim the creep, pretty much anything above the laser gets removed, but for this map you need just 1 and also use a shield and few weapons to defend it
- Hello, am I speaking to Angory Tom? - Yes, this is about pool cleaning job from yesterday. - No, actually I do indeed have complaints. - What do you mean you've done your job well? Tom, the pool is damaged, there are two large holes in the borders and on top of it the pool is not cleaned up. - Tom, what are you talking about? The pool should be empty. It's full now. It's filled with some weird white viscous liquid. The smell is horrible. What even is that thing Tom???? - Look, I have no idea what are "creep" and "anti-creep", I don't understand you professional terminology. But the pool is ruined and filled with something I probably don't want to imagine what exactly. - No Tom, things don't work that way. You have to pay for the repairs and do your job properly or I'll contact my lawyer and file a lawsuit for the damages. - What UA-cam? Tom, did you film the whole process and put it on UA-cam without our permission? - This is absolutely unspeakable. No, I don't want a shout out on your channel. I want you to take the video down, are you even listening to me?! - Good content?! Ok, that's it, Tom! You are in a big trouble now. Get ready for a massive lawsuit, Mr. Professional Pool Cleaner.
Do you have a complaint with anti-creep in your pool from previous pool cleaners? Contact us! We will repair the damage they have done and fill the pool back up with water! In fact, we might even upgrade the pool, make it look better than just a rectangle hole with water inside! Our methods are a bit extreme though, so be prepared to dump a metric ton of “chlorine” into the pool after we’re finished…
When you have 40 or so miners with erns its negligible, a large map of towers is 40-50 tops, the miners with an ern are around 5 each, power gen in this one was not an issue except when he built all those airfields
Gotta say Tom take pool cleaning a bit...too intensely. Never seen someone just bomb from orbit a pool to clean it before. Did the job though, good work.
Daily reminder that Tom is an amazing person and to thank him for all he has done/will do - Day 1118 Ha ha, another tremendous episode of Creeper World, lots of fun, and a very nice map too :D Of cause Tom can't leave this one running, as we all know 'No running at the pool'
The generation rates are CLEARLY pushing you to a specific solution. You just raise the creep-generating land up and clear the top of it once. Then you no longer need to maintain control over it and it can't do anything. No amount of AC generation on it's own would out-generate the creep.
People in the map making community for CW4 have made first person maps, with and without an AI building structures alongside you. Pretty sure Tom has played a couple.
So, I attempted this map not that long ago... and its reminding me of one of the campaign maps where you HAVE to use Shields to make any sort of progress and I hated that map with a passion because it was so fucking BORING!
Tom immediately acknowledging that the map was generating ERNs continuously for him and then having 100+ unassigned to units/buildings is absolutely classic
There's only so many buildings ERNs can be used on, plus how many people have you seen put ERNs on Pylons and ACTUALLY make use of the extended range?
@@cursedhawkins1305 yes but cant the sweepers take urns?

This was a way more interesting map than it initially looked like.
"I would creep 500 miles and I would creep 500 more, just to be the man who creeped a thousand miles, to fall down at your ERN port"
- The Reclaimers.
Tom: let's not just cheese this map with converts
Also Tom: proceeds to cheese it with 40+ converts
We love you, Tom...
I think he recognised that his AC bomber cake strat was working and knew he would win, so he used the converts to save himself the slog.
Excellent little map, surprisingly challenging for how simple it was in concept.
Tom immediately forgot how the reclaim objective works and tried to connect the whatever it's called to his power grid even though you can't
I’ve been binging all your old creeper world content I’m so happy to see a new episode!
You need to attack along the path of the sweepers to fully utilize them. With the anti creep push the weakened creep would fall rapidly along the direction the sweeper lasers are going.
I love it when Tom plays Creeper World!!
A nice and traditional CW4 map, but it's rather amusing to imagine it on this ultra tiny scale.
I ringed the pool with shields to keep any creep waves and AC contained then slowly nibbled my way to a foothold on the bottom then added sweepers in to help slowly shield creep across.
The first alpha video of the next CW game just came out on knucracker’s channel, going back to a 2D pixel style that looks pretty cool
Insanely cool idea for a map. Love it. 🙌
Not a bad idea tbh, it's about managing an assault smartly instead of going "OOGA BOOGA MORTAR GO BRR"
How does this have less than 1k views!!! So glad to see this video!
-points out you dont need to build anything next to the reclaim objective. it goes automagically
A Christmas present from Tom!

Yeah this is why I realized the game wasn't for me. I enjoy watching it, but it gets tedious after a while imo.
To mention cake so frequently in a video soon after Wheel Boy was present, how roguish

No Tom, the song goes "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"
I love Tom keeping to Nibble at the cake..
I just shove it down, pause and dump 50 conversions, one boom. let the AC sort it out.
Tom is my favorite Pool Boy
gotta say, I kinda wish there was something like "Fog of War"
AC is just SO SATISFYING
its become a christmas tradition for me to relax after dinner with the family and watch Tom play Creeper world

Nice map concept to
i feel like you could of teraformed in reverse, bring sections of the pool up
No idea if you’re still reading these, but the fact that you havent played Dwarf Fortress yet is a CRIME!
I'm pretty sure the trick to this one is to RAISE the land in the pool above the level where creep will flow onto it.
how fast is just rushing rockets for conversion?
Why isnt youtube recommending me more of this
I'm not an expert, but i recon you're underestimating how much energy gets produced by the basic towers
When you have 40 or so miners with erns its negligible, a large map of towers is 40-50 tops, the miners with an ern are around 5 each, power gen in this one was not an issue except when he built all those airfields
how do you set your planes to bomb in a line like that? I cannot figure it out
Hold G IIRC
bro reminds me of a mix between glados and the other robot guy from portal 2
Is there a frame vs frame map?
*A-Bam!*
That's a very stable pool! Would make for a good supply if it were water instead. What a refill-rate!
Can anyone tell me how he does that thing with his planes that spreads the pluses out evenly in a line?
Hold "G" while click+dragging the planes
I like watching tom play this game but I also dont understand what's going on lol
Woo AC Bombers 😁
Wait, pause, convert it all to anticreep at the same time lmao
This task is simple work for the Senate
Maxim 35, Tom. Maxim 35.
