A reworking of previous star map but as a PAC. There are various ways onto the middle island and lots of different ways to beat the map. Have fun #PAC

Dude, awesome job with this map! I remember the original one too - was that your design? Either way if they allowed us to give a map higher than 10 I would. What's really neat is it's a huge map, but for some reason it wasn't very laggy. Not sure why but I was very happy about that.

If I had to pick between this map and a free pizza... it would really be a tough choice. And I'd probably have to ask what kind of pizza before I could decide. The map is just that cool.  8)

Gotta love Star Wars (Insert Darth Vader music here: DUN DUN DA DUN DA DUN DA DA DUN). Gotta love pizza. Unless there are salty anchovies on it.  ;)

Cheers guys, yeah both the stars are mine, made them both at the same time but never finished the PAC one as testing a PAC map takes me hours and I just couldn't be bothered!

With lag I find the key is not to have too many units, if a PAC map has a few upgrades loaded on a forge you do not need to squash in a million units in order to make it harder. For this one I upgraded range and fire rate by one, energy by a few, build speed and packet speed by two or three.

Wow, you not only run missions as the Master of Faster, you make maps from the Shrine of Design! *Hands Dom a trophy*

I'm glad you're on OUR side, fighting against the creeper. Otherwise we'd all be doomed  ;D

For you newer players who may have missed some of the classics...

This map is just over 5 years old, but IMO this is the best PAC map I've come across (I think I've played them all, but I'm not sure).

Dunno if that's helpful or not - maybe everyone has discovered this map anyway. Anyway, hope you enjoy it if you haven't played it yet.

Thanks Johnny! I just tried to replay it and have forgotten the lost art of PAC!! Love to see some more of those.

Master D0m0nik created many so fascinaying maps. My favorit - Mars series.  :D

P.S. In Japanese "Thanks" is "Domo". Domo Sir Domo-sama!  :)

You're certainly welcome. Yeah, PAC maps are really fun - on average a bit more challenging than CSM maps, but the CSM maps are more relaxing and (for some reason) more satisfying. At least I think so, I dunno.

I went back through the maps I'd rated as 10 (just 40 out of 2100+ maps, it seems... I might be a bit too strict on my ratings, lol) - this was one of the most memorable so I thought I'd share with some of the newer players.

QuoteLove to see some more of those
Well, if you love PAC maps and you made THIS one then you could just... um...  well, you know right? ;)  ;D

Heh heh... j/k. I'm thankful for all the work you and Yum and others put into making cool maps. I know it's time-consuming to make maps and especially more so to make great maps. So yeah, no greed here - just gratitude.  ;D ;D ;D
