I should have named this map "hell" If you don't like wanton destruction, this map is not for you. There are 4 ghost emitters, just so you know. Also, enjoy watching the ghost town. #GhostEmitter #CRPL #Sorrontis #RandomDestruction
I apologize.
A little confusing but I enjoyed it. The big 'tears' across the screen were very impressive.Bit confused as at first I thought I had to protect the houses! Some interesting ideas but as usual some will moan about the random aspects.

Haha, you did indeed! Your maps are great and I personally enjoy some random elements, it is a whole new angle to the game. :D
can you post the cprl for the ghost emitter gives me an idea for an insane level
sure:

Have fun the CRPL, don't forget to mention me. I'll play your map :)
"Attribution" is a very fine thing.

What is attribution? Not a word in my vocabulary

Giving credit where credit is due. If someone uses the product of your efforts, they should 'attribute/acknowledge' your contribution.
Sorry - The pedant in me slipped out whilst I wasn't watching.

Thank you. And don't worry, english is my second language. I've been speaking it for a long while, but once in a while, I encounter something new :)
I'm scared. The description says g-g-g-ghost emitters, and moreover, those houses have something to do with them... I'm keeping an eye out for minor details in the map so.

Welp, **** just happened...
OKAY OKAY OKAY I got a good grasp of the situation. The ghost emitters work like really fast spores that leave creeper along their path. They target a random unit and will destroy everything in its path. Not sure if it will stop if it hits another unit along the way, but if so, it'll probably take another path to get to its target. I have a feeling those houses control when the phenomena happen...
unfortunately, no, the houses are just decor that need to be nullified. however, the ghost emitters are invisible "ghosts" that wreck everythng
