Flame knives

[Xenon]

What is the game speed set to? I haven't played it but some campaigns use the Wait trigger action that is disconnected from the game speed, and reducing the game speed makes things spawn faster than you can kill them 

What makes it even worse is that loading a saved game skips any current waits.

Oh great, just....great. I'm stuck on map 7 now. I destroyed 2 cerebrates and have gotten 6 probes

OK, what the hell is the purpose of the probes to begin with? Second, how to I get to the transmitter tower? Its pretty obvious that I have to either be transported there or be teleported there. the only thing I haven't been able to activate is the teleporter right next to the morphing cocoon and I can't discern any method of doing so either. help!

Okay this thread should be renamed to Flame Knives: Helping Chris get through it!

Yeah, good catch.

The "fast" speed is the one I suggest.

[Revan]

Yeah, it's very bad when you create a map, test it (on the default speed) and release it thinking that it's fine but it just doesn't work on the other speeds.

Death counters ftw.

Xenon may have nailed it, I was trying at slowest in order to micro better. Yes, I had all the units and I didn't have nearly enough firepower. I think storms work better, but I'll try hallucinations.

[Catwalk]

Yep, did it on the first try this time without breaking a sweat. Thanks!

Stop double posting, Catwalk. (If Lavarinth learns that you are double posting, he will kill you. (Without offending, Lav, hehe)).

[Marine]

Omega is trying to cover it up like HE didnt use to double post.

[omega20]

Please, Marine, you try not remind me 'that'. That was pretty embarrassing at its time...

[Catwalk]

Geeze, now I'm stuck on map 4. Was I supposed to get the probes with me into the cave? I only got 12 zealots, and have run into crystal obstacles that I can't pass. Thanks for the heads up on double posting.

EDIT: There is a crystal block with 8 minerals, seems obvious that I need to mine it with a probe. Any idea why I didn't get the probes?

You can target one of the crystal blocks with your zealots. Be sure to micro a bit to minimize casualties, as you'll be under massive enemy fire.

Meta, make a strategy or manual guide for your campaign hehe

Don't play with knives.  Don't play with fire.  And don't play Flame Knives. 


















































































Thats what I would say if I were mean.  But I'm not.

Yeah, I probably will. In fact, I should use the images Desler posted to advertise this walkthrough.
