Hello! I discovered CW fairly recently, but am now an absolute addict. It's such a brilliant concept! I've never bought a game online before, but the brilliant demo had me overcoming my misgivings and forking over the cash. I'm so glad I did!
Anyways, I made a map. Again, something I've never done before. It was fun though, and I'm considering doing more so any feedback would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
Hayley
Welcome aboard!
Roly Poly is a great map. I played it earlier today. The spiral concept worked out really well I think. When I play it again, I'm going to assault the upper right hand corner first. I didn't do that the first time, so I had to keep a check on the creeper in the upper right hand corner while I assaulted the lower left (where I started).
it was very fun but what was with the one spore every 16 minutes?
to force you to build a few SAM sites to annoy you maybe? lol
Yeah, I built like a massive air defense system expecting a total meteor storm to hit me (I figured it would be big since the delay was large). Then that one little spore came in and I just had to laugh. Now I never actually let it hit, so I don't know what kind of a punch it would have packed if it had hit....
*points to virgil* thats why its fun :D
Thanks for the feedback!
As to spores..
I started out trying to make a map that I would find really challenging. I ALWAYS forget SAM's, especially when there is a fair bit of time between attacks as I think 'Oh I've got time, I'll do it later'. Then, of course, I forget. So I spaced spore attacks few and far between, tempting myself to forget them. But it's supposed to challenge me, so there has to be a nasty effect if I forget my air defences, better pump up the volume on those spores. Then I kinda chickened out, what would happen when I invariably forget to build SAMs and got hit by lots of nasty? That would just be death. Less of a punishment and more of an execution. Better just send one nasty spore in to mess me up if I don't build SAMs without totally destroying my chances of winning.
;)
if the spores have the default 0.2 intensity then they wont do much damage at all, taking out 2-3 at most undefended structures if you're unlucky and they hit a tightly grouped area otherwise you can safely use 3-5 spores in a wave without it being a game breaker even if they do all hit

Loved Roly-Poly. It's looks nice and plays great. Unfortunately I couldn't find 'hello'.
UpperKees, you deleted a post here? I was going to say "ha ha, very funny" on that "couldn't find hello" part. :)
Heheh, I indeed deleted it, because I was.... ehm... serious.... :-[ Hahaha! I'm so stupid sometimes.... :P
