Nice map, enjoyed it. Although placing multiple baddies in 1 spot make it impossible to read - before I started playing, I let it run for 12 minutes just to see how many spores were in corners.

Not had time to properly play this yet but looks like a master piece.

Spoiler
I suspect guppies will be a major help on this map, 3 of the 4 corners should fall before they even get chance to fire
[close]

Love the multiple landing sites and the sheer amount of options available.

Thank You for "...master piece".  :-[

Yes! This is only one of several possibilities.

More interesting hiding in name of game...

Spoiler
Initiate "Bickford effect" by sending "loaded snipers" to "Bickford zones". Will be a surprise  :)

Good luck!

What I love about this map was the starting in three locations. You gave us the tools we needed to get them up pretty easily, but from there we were under are own power too. It felt great to link up with the other bases to be at full power then.
What I hated, and no fault of yours, is trying to find that darn naulifier, made it so annoying to locate, cause I confused it 3 times for a reactor, lol.

Thank You for reply!
You are right, but originally I wanted to make small trick: to kill Spore Tower will be possible only after attack by Bomber...

Dear ladies and gentlemen, "the inhabitants of the CW3 World"!

Recently I've uploaded for You a few dozen maps. According to the last response (map 53) my games began to look like each other...
In all my last games the best one (judging by the ratings)  is map 41 "THE BICKFORD-2".
So I am making this unusual post.

I created a new version of this most popular game "Bickford". The new game will be much more interesting...
Ready to upload this game if ten people will reply here in this forum that they're interested to play this new game.  ;)

Sorry for the unusual "poll". and sincerely waiting for reply.

Hey Yum

I have enjoyed all of your maps, they have a style but to me they are not repetitive at all, please keep making them and I am sure they will naturally evolve and change in a similar way to Pastor Healers maps. Yes they all have a theme and are similar in nature but I never get bored playing them as they all provide a new challenge and require some thinking. There are not many good map makers regularly submitting and your one of the best, please keep it up!

Is it means that You would like to see what new game "BICKFORD" I created?  ;)

There were only 9 votes (reply) and I will soon upload new and interesting "THE BIG BICKFORD or Beetle in the Anthill" game.
I am becoming an optimist!  :)

Who is next?
Expect very simple reply like "waiting for BICKFORD-3" or "upload, please"...

I've played nearly all of your CW2 maps and I'm currently working through the ones you've posted for CW3.

I've enjoyed them very much and I'm looking forward to new ones.

Thanks for the quality work.

I was about to suggest to the folks who can't wait for yum's new maps that they go back and try his back catalogue - there were some awesome CW3 maps a couple of years ago before the hiatus.

Some of which I had some pretty impressive scores on (if I do say so myself!) if you want a challenge!

Maybe You are right, but I decided to upload "BICKFORD MAP" only after 10 votes...
If not it as indicator means that "CW3 Society"  tired from my games...
Sorry, please!  :-[

P.S. I am still waiting for additional 5 replyes...

Even though I haven't played any of your maps yet (mostly because they're not visually appealing to me), vote #7 is here.

It is a pity that so long time I can't gather even 10 votes from different players.
I was more optimistic... :(

P.S. If my poll will be unsuccessful and because the others is not interested I will send game to You
and to those who voted personally.  :)
Is it possible?

P.P.S. During the time while I waited for the replyes I have created another interesting game in the series "THE BIG BICKFORD
or Beetle in the Anthill"!  :)

Cw3 is like 2 years old (actually steam birthday next weekend!), so don't expect a lot of people here.

Another thing, when I first bought the game I didn't look too hard on colonial space at all, because no achievements would lead me there. I only started playing CS now, after I got hyped for particle fleet, which brought me to forum, where I found that cw3 community is still bit active :P Before that I was just trying to do those sick(!) achievements in tormented space and prospector zone. And I just gave up :P

Maybe You are right and not so many people here in CW3. But game "THE BICKFORD-2" played more than 90 peoples and
if about 10% of them will be glad to try new one it will be "nice"...
Perhaps they did not like forum...  ;)

P.S. My birthday also in next weekend!  But I am a little older. :)

Like you say, only a fraction of players are involved in the forum.

I played CW1 without looking at the forum - or even realising that it existed - until the very end when CW2 was released and I never went back.

Like how I loved your CW2 maps, but once CW3 came out, I never went back...
