Extract the zip. You'll find 2 files. The .wz file is a map it goes in the "maps" folders. The other file is the challenge description. It must go in another folder called "challenges" that is just beside "maps" if it's not there create it.
What is the challenge:
The challenge pit you in an 8p FFA against NRS+V52 AI known as the "nightmare" difficulty. In the excellent map impactV2.
The mod is packed in a special mode of "30 minutes" instead of "20 minutes" as usual. Which will fit more for skirmish game.
I need to warn you i won the game in 2 hours but near the end the last ai attacked my base killing half my factories and research lab and leaving me with only 11 borgs as only army. I needed another 15 minute of siege to defeat it and when I finaly killed it, there was a lassat fully built lassat in the back of his base. I was about to being shot by lassat
.Rules :
Do not attack the ai from the outside of the map (using transport).
Do not hide is some corner. I know how the ai is bad at tracking the last survivors. If you dont have any reasonnable base anywhere you lost. (from my point of view at least).
If you win that challenge, please tell us the main lines you used. I won with cannon (main) cyborgs (adapt) last time.
Tips (for noobs)
-Avoid long research at start.
-Built one bank but only one.
-Check your opponents design and try to adapt.
Tips (for knowledgeable NRS players)
-The 1p packs require to fill more labs (4-5).
-The interest (1p and 30m) is really lower than usual.
After i have a look at porting my AI to 2.3, i'll have a look at working on NRS AI (you seem to cope pretty well though, i see a nice bunch of personalities).
