Elder retreated 9 maps from just doing one
 Red = Previously Elder controlled Green = The map I did Is this common? Between the RNG of Elder spawning on the right map(s), the amount of micromanagement involved, and this possibly happening again, this is really discouraging.

It is frustrating but yes it can happen. You basically need to do the maps strategically to prevent this sort of things from happening.
You did the green map and shaper decided to take over the one next to it and therefore cut elder influences in 2. "The launch day went quite well with just a few small hotfixes to address minor problems."

If you connect Lava Lake area with Sunken/Reef area is very risky because you have to protect Bog very well, you must have waste pool always under control too.

Thanks for the replies friends. I've been trying to learn how to do it properly since it's not very intuitive. I get what I did wrong now, but honestly I feel like that's a mistake anyone can make considering how you're worried about having Elder spawn too early too (which was what happened the last time).

" Yeah definately, same thing happened to me too, had ~18 maps conquered, lost Bog and the entire sunken/reef area got destroyed Lowest level Hardcore Atziri Kill ~ Level 65 ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyDB6Haa6U8

" Maybe I'm dumb, but I figured that was the best way to grow a red map-only area spanning from Reef to Lava Lake to increase my chances. Is there actually a way to force his presence all on T13+? Cause with this you obviously need Bog now. I'm happy to read a guide if there is one. Last edited by Hanarae#6607 on Mar 19, 2018, 8:13:35 PM

" Welp, stocking up on lube for the rest of the league then :( Edit:  After all that, couldn't even give me a T14 Elder for double orbs. 13/15's alright I guess... could've been worse. Last edited by Hanarae#6607 on Mar 19, 2018, 11:12:28 PM

" What do you mean "strategically"? I did a Shaper-influenced map adjacent to my 15-map Elder-inflenced blob, and my blob shrunk down to 7 maps. That's not "strategic". That's not even RNG, it's just fucking BROKEN. WTF, I don't even care about Elder, I just want my Shaped maps back. |
