THE EGGS ARE WORKING TOGETHER! - CREEPER WORLD 4

[@captainwolf5922]

I’m amazed at how many times it went wrong and Tom recovered

[@PierceArner]

There were _so_ many tense moments!

[@erinwright645]

Not only recovered but went on to build a 10/10 wall

[@ShadeScarecrow]

Really impressive. I would´ve probably restarted about 20 times at that point

[@PandemoniumVice]

Same. I'm amazed he recovered from making so many extremely stupid mistakes.

[@GeneralPorkers]

Tom: "Alright, we're finally safe behind the mega wall now" Egg Lord: "Silly child" *jumps the wall*

[@tadhgtwo]

Tom's reaction in that moment is priceless.😂

[@operator8014]

*eggs teleport behind Tom's wall* "Nothing personal Tom."

[@GeneralPorkers]

@@operator8014 So good

There's legit something unnerving about the way it moves. Just so geometrically perfect, it's utterly alien to anything in the real world.

[@caffeinette]

I love how Tom put so much painstaking effort into building and arming that wall, and the egg-nomoly just _A S C E N D E D_ .

[@BandOfNerdz4]

The hubris of Tom to think he could stop the mega egg brigade with a wall

[@Fiona_with_cake]

In the end the wall did stop the eggs last suicide explosion from reaching tom when he ran away. The wall was mighty and strong and saved him

@__ shut up Socrates

[@carnagegaming3016]

Every minute I kept thinking to myself "okay well it can't get any worse" and then it just kept getting worse...

[@josephpaulson9495]

Wow. Impressive how the map continued to pose challenges to the player, even after that horrifying early game.

[@magicstew45]

Right? CW4 tends to have difficult early game that turns to steamrolling the creep once you make it far enough/figure out the level. This really kept that difficulty untill the very end.

[@josephpaulson9495]

@@magicstew45 It seems like the key in making a REALLY good level is to design some kind of threat that constantly threatens the player, like the eggzilla, that serves as the win condition for the map in that you need to kill it in order to get that steamroll effect through the rest of the map. Right now any map with emitters and some spores just doesn't do that well enough, because you just get some canons and missiles down, and after that there is pretty much nothing left stopping you from winning effortlessly. Eggs themselves are a good step in the right direction, but there needs to be something like programable mid-game events with a countdown timer that will really push the players to their limit.

[@phaolo6]

Yeah, it was a great map. I wonder what hellish math function makes the egg ring move. Anyway, maybe this map could have been won quickly with an early move towards the spore launcher to nullify it? Btw, I wish it spouted a new ring after the previous one collapsed.

[@rendomstranger8698]

@@josephpaulson9495 Seeing as it was the case in the previous game, i suspect that there is the option to give emitters a startup time. The problem is that this doesn't get used in the campaign or most maps. Give an emitter a 2 to 5 minute startup time and things will be much more challenging if the player doesn't act fast enough. Place the emitter in an area the player needs to fight for (like near the redon ore with a delay on spore launchers) and things can easily stay challenging throughout the entire map. I've only made 1 map for myself in creeper world 3. No mods, coding or anything of the sort. And even with that complete lack of experience, I could easily figure out that you need to add pressure over time. I'm honestly not sure why people who make maps on a regular basis have a hard time figuring that out. Even if it's as simple as an anticreep emitter that buys you enough time to prepare in the early game but gets completely overwhelmed on its own once the main wave of creep hits.

[@tadhgtwo]

That was brilliant. Fair dues to Tom for sticking with it for 2 and a half hours. Oh and the poor editor getting it down to 16 minutes.

[@GeneralJosh13]

In all fairness, he was playing at 4x speed for most of that (still a slog haha)

[@cursedhawkins1305]

@@GeneralJosh13 I have to ask though, what the fuck was going through the creator's head when they designed this map? I mean that looks like a small sized map and you have an obstacle of that size on that map.

[@ironcladguildhand9321]

11:17 - Eggzilla cohesion fails. Chaos ensues.

[@SerLoinSteak]

Eggzilla structural integrity failing, dispersal imminent

[@kingkuma4112]

I think the sniper shot the one egg all the others were attached to and it all went tits up

[@tannermattingly4462]

This was honestly an incredible mission, because it managed to avoid the usual "blob across the map with anticreep with minimal resistance." Eggzilla was a real force of nature that required you to think on your feet and make tough decisions, and just when things started to seem under control it exploded into a cataclysmic event, forcing a final relocation to desperately survive. I want to see more of these kinds of maps!

[@DopplerRadioShow]

That map was wild. Whoever made it did stuff with the game mechanics that don't even seem possible

[@empireofitalypsstimfromano5025]

Like A Certain Other Creator That Made A D-Day Map With ACTUAL TANKS THAT MOVE?

[@diltonweany7003]

There’s some awesome physics going on with the behaviour of the great egg being. I’m amazed it always seemed to be on the offensive even though it was semi random.

[@fordedrubicon3682]

11:18 (chuckles) “I’m in danger”

[@gummybread]

"iv never seen this happen with eggs before" for refrence, i think one of the story maps (or a span experiment) uses the same idea they connect 5 eggs together, and launch the clusters at you rather than 1 at a time this connected 5 HUNDRED together and did the game, which is the literal maximum amount of eggs that can be on a map i sure HOPE toms never seen this happen before

[@michaelprost6130]

play the map "the big wave" for a challenge

[@doctorx7805]

I love the difference of playstyles between me and Tom Me: Carefully balance my economy and the number of weapons at my disposal. Small units that I constantly move to advance my line. Guns in the back will be moved to the front. Tom: If there is space. More guns. If there is energy. More guns

[@JackPorter]

even if there isn't more energy, more guns

In the words of a wise man: More gun.

TBH, for a bit it was looking like an analogy of the lore of the OG creeper world games. Survive until you can run, inorder to survive until you can run, ect ect.

[@tomaskrepi]

That 2.5 hours felt like 16 minutes. Time flies when you have fun!

[@surothedeath]

XD

[@adambaker4590]

It would've been 2.5 hours if it wasn't on 4x speed for a good chunk of it lol. But as the game speed increases, so does the timer speed.

[@yeahboy2k386]

This was insane. Lol personally, Tom, I commend your bravery. Once I seen that egg hoop I would have quit right there. That's an eggy nope!

[@Blisterdude123]

This is one of those videos where everything just kept getting better and better and then the egglord exploded and it was perfection.

[@dylanfield8114]

Tom I just happened to watch someone play this map yesterday! You dealt with it the only way a Tom could...brute force and walls! I believe there's also a mod that lets you play as the Creep, I think you'd have a ton of fun playing the bad guy

[@legion999]

PRG?

[@KerryBenton]

man, i admire a man who can play a single map for 2 and a half hours for a 17 minute video. My word. Also, as ever, props to Josh, editor mastermind.

[@mythmurzin]

it took me a few minutes to realize what was happening. when an egg touches the "ground" it checks for creeper, if there is no creeper the egg pops. thats what was happening. that is a very wild and cool map, but at the same time frustrating for how often you have to move :)

this is the first map i actually enjoyed watching

I was worried the entire second half of the video that that damn, un-nullified spawner was gonna spit out another one of these egg abominations l m a o I was so sweaty, but it would have been absolutely hilarious. Anyways, this might have been the absolute best CW4 video you've put out yet. I think this game has the same potential as TABS or minecraft (kinda) to make this emergent gameplay entertaining, and it has tooooooons of fan content. Good stuff, duder!

Easy way to cheese this is to have a few high spots (preferably the corners) that will drain creep off of them and will still be defendable like a pyramid in each corner.

[@jaxon.roller]

This was hilarious! I would not have thought to run around at the beginning lol

[@Missingno_Miner]

This video was literally just Murphy's law. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. Try to establish a foothold? Some eggs pop and you start dying. Built a giant wall to keep the eggs out? They jump over it. Have a massive force that is slowly picking off the eggs? The force holding them together ceases to function and they fall like rain, only to immediately pop.

[@Zamandu]

Tom built a wall and made the eggs pay for it

[@stebullet]

OMG I saw someone else randomly playing this map yesterday and here it is...Tom GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!! Its also funny because they used the same relocate strategy lol

It's the only way to win this one, though tom could have gone a little harder on anti-creep.
