somebody appears to have taken latin :)

it is really nice for "mystical" map names

CatoSterling · August 03, 2011, 06:47:56 PM

True!

Latin/Roman is also good for keeping ribald references from young eyes. None in this map, of course... ;)

One of the worst maps ever.

Ouch!
That isn't very specific.

I'll admit that this is a very difficult map to figure out...in fact, some might call it "Hard"!

@Cato - I might have to wait a few days and see if anyone but you can figure out where to build the relays. If I could figure out how to use the Map Editor, it would probably help.

Good map & I'm working it.
Thanks,

That's OK, not everyone likes every map. It can also be frustrating to start a map, and not be able to finish it. Been there!

This map requires a little out-of-the-box thinking to protect the Expanse from the spores.

Once that is done, the relay placement isn't as hopeless as it first appears; persistence pays.

I'm thinking that flying relays of SAM's is the only way to protect the middle. Likewise, flying relays of Blasters, Mortars, and Drones to keep the calderas clean.

I had to take a break to do some real work and will give it another shot.

Aha!
OK, now that I've figured it out...time for another run.

Definitely a 5x5 game.

Sweet.
Game!

Excellent, glad you liked it. And you've gone and beaten my time, you rascal.

LOL!
Way too much time on my hands!

I imagine this will get some play from the better CW gamers.
