Hey can someone link me to stopping creep? I can't seem to find it for some reason....
or tell me the jist of it?
I have a sunken line map and the creep is flying off the side of the line
Just use a terrain thats higher then the one the sunken colony is on. Like if its on grass at the end of the line make it high grass or just a cliff.

i've heard that if you place some nulls around or where the sunken is it stops creep from growing
in my oppinion to stop creep is.
use bridge tile
cliffs
water
stairs
Or simple anything that creep can't go on:
temple
cliff
watter
bridge
rocky dirt
assuming this is in the jungle tileset
I think any tile that you can't build on creep can't crawl on. Not sure though, try it.
I'm using Ice tileset with square terrain.
I have NULL tiles there but that does nothing.
Depends which null tiles you used, try just using something unbuildable like Cliff wall terrain, that should stop it, or if you want it to still be walkable use ice, i think that works.. Creep doesn't go on stuff that is unbuildable because you wouldn't know why you couldn't build there if it did. I think anyhow...

does that really work?
High terrain that is still buildable does not work, I'm 99.99% sure..
I'm not sure about this but take a tile from a snow doodad and place it around the bulding that is expanding creep. It should stop to expand because you can't build on doodads and it also looks more natural. You have snow on snow.

I'm posting my map so you can see for yourself, cuz I can't find one that works.
I tried the pallete, tried to pick a mountain square from there, tried null and higher, I don't know what's up.
you can't miss where the creep is all over the place.
did you try the ramps? i am certain creep cant go on ramps.
yea the ramps might work but im not sure.
lol...so funny when i tested watch
Creep test 1
Phase 1 placing terrain
[attachmentid=15181]
Phase two Results
[attachmentid=15184]
Conclusion: the creep will always expand
Creep test 2
Phase 1 Placing terrain
[attachmentid=15185]
Phase 2 results
[attachmentid=15186]
Conslusion: creep is gay ...it will always grow if it's divided by 1 unbuildable title
what you have to do is sorround the sunken with unbuildable eliminating the creep range
my guess, it is not what you needed
on my map i stacked the creep colonu over a bridge tile and then on the left is a higher terrain than the bridge
so all the creep went to the left side and none on the bridge and none on the right side.
so try putting the creep colony in the middle of the map and surround the creep with a tile that is unusual like stairs or ice or ramps.
that top peice of creep over the building will always be there..unless placed on a special null
just mess with it
or use a sprite -.-
sprite doesnt produce creep

then how are you going to build sunkens then with drones?
im thinkin he wants to b abl to create sunkens normally, but doesnt want so much creep, but to me thats impossible, cuz they still hav to atk rite???

well...no offense but this is like a little weird because why would you want to build sunkens without creep and i mean if you don't have creep you won't even be able to build them so problem solved? no sunken= no creep solved? lol
still hasnt said wat he wants sunks for and why he wants no creep, so wat if its gion off the side of the line, if u dont want creep in a sqr, then only way would be to make that sqr unbuildable

sorry, I was gone for a bit.
I want the creep to not fly off the edge of the field, into the middle parts.
In other words, nothing past the green creep colonies.
basically its just terrain...
if you read what terrain that we said will stop the problem then this problem is solved
