I thought that we could start off with a blank map and then each person edits it a bit, and posts it and eventually, we have a good map (same as the CW1 community maps)
-feel free to add a quote to the opening text (or artifacts)
-Any one can help
-please make sure to test the map to completion if you have made a change to the terrain, emitters, or overall gameplay. (most people dislike impossible maps)
Starter map supplied below:
We need some theme to get started, otherwise it'll be a random clash of fields and terrain with an unmatching background and tile set.

Cough Cough... (these are available ;))
I have an awesome idea! One second... :D
v1.0
aye no! I was working on v1... :(
Here's an alternate version 1 based on what I was working on... Creeper color will be red with volcanic tiles of course, I didn't add that. I just like the fields... and was thinking about something along the lines of the volcano shooting out fireballs and stuff. Use whichever version. At the very least I'll make a custom map out of this.
v2 of ebon's
graphics v0.5 done
ooh yay! The volcano needs work... Also, tinkering with the off delay for the fireballs will control how much creeper they drop per trip.
I'm working on v3
DONE!
I'll help... As soon as I get home from summer camp... Pesky summer camp
I thought I might as well join in. I made an eruption which happens after 5 seconds first then every 4 seconds. If you want you can change some stuff about it. :)
When I get home, I'm gonna add some fireballs to fling themselves around with the eruptions. And we need to think about building space... :/
I don't have anything to add to the map, but I do have a screenshot of v4 that I was just playing with. It's not a practical thing I did, but I'd never thought much about doing this kind of "deep mining" before. Because of the intense gravity I realized I needed to get lots of creeper pulled up from the deep. I suppose if energy permitted I could build stacked sidways repulsors that fed into the mine shaft. In any case, it makes a nice screen shot.
ach, it's not a volcano any more! lol. And what's with the extremely high gravity + AC/water around the sides?
thats very interesting...
looks really cool
I can't believe this, but I just played v4 to completion. Don't ask me why, I just couldn't stop myself. I built two Makers in vacuum mode and then two rows in produce mode at the top. That, 4 launcher and 4 blasters (at the end), plus 30 minutes did the trick.
;)....

that's what I did :), It's always interesting to have to move a ton of AC up 80 tiles in 20G gravity

we have achieved addicting :)
v5 - done, awaiting more editing
added "lava bubbles" and "splatters"
hang on, the lake moves too much v6 fixes that
New version: v6
TP, with community maps, you usually want to wait until 2 more people edit the map before making more changes.
What do you all think about adding drones? or in that case spores

go ahead
I know this seems idiotic but how do i post the newer version on the forum.
Its under the additional options tab next to the textbox you type in.

he might be using quick-reply, where it doesen't work (you can't use the textbox at the bottom of this page, if you see it)
No i use the full reply so which button do i hit on the top to post it
Here i added 2 gateways which have phantoms and drones to the map. Tell me what you think of the map.
Did anyone play the new version I uploaded on my last post. How is it now

I played it, not much difference, but the phantoms are a nice touch
Yep i though about increasing the drone and phantom amount to make a bigger challenge. I'll do that now

it's probably better not to, unless you allow building in the "down" direction as well (It seems like there isn't enough reactor space)
How about in all direction and add many more drones and phantoms

no, all direction takes all the challenge out of the map, there'd be too much space to create energy
and not too many drones, please
Voila.
maybe we could get a custom BG here?
BG stands for?
ok that sectinly would be cool
can someone beat the map and upload it please?...
will beat & upload soon.
Ok added an descrtion. don't think there's an intro with speaking, feel free to add that.
