Used to make \"pool\" maps on CW2, tried to make one here, this is what I got, after a few attepmts. I\'ll probably get to work on another one soon. Bertha\'s are very resource heavy in this map, so beware.
Thanks for making this.
You might want to consider decreasing the size and increasing the danger. At no point is there any concern about losing pieces/the game, but rather a race to see how quickly you can kill the Creeper and take out the Emitters.
Fun for those who like to run around mopping up the Creep - but way too much pausing & moving pieces.
After getting established, all I wanted to do was finish and wasn't concerned about my time.
Look forward to your future efforts.

This is one of those maps where I spent time building, not because I should, but because I could.
The main challenge was the pool in the middle, but the outside was basically just a grind (dragged out by my aforementioned desire to build as much as possible). I didn't have any problems with resources, so my bertha's were able to clear up the pool long before I actually attacked it.
It was a fun map, but I personally would have liked a little bit more pressure on the base at the start and maybe a smaller map so that I don't have to slog all the way around (it'd also crunch your resources and make using the bertha's much more strategic).
Thanks for making the map!
