Template under , you can make your own Mess As Player mode maps with it. :)
Just make terrain and units ready like in PAC maps and put unit limitations what you want these to be , then add core and this script to it.
This isn't so good than PAC template is then... :-[
This mode seems a bit limited to me and the ending of the map is just luck depending on where the spore lands. As you only have a terp and a shield there is very little to do and most of the time is spent watching. Would be nice to be able to control snipers so that you can pop bugs and perhaps be interesting to have a level where you can terp paths through high area to allow creeper through, ie manipulate the terrain to move the creeper around.
But you can at least build snipers? :o End part is somewhat luck actually. :-[
Shields are useless pretty much , terps not so useless.
Spoiler
You can build Snipers. A small shielded batch of reserve Snipers on high ground can be used in the late game to pop Runners and flood the annoying bits. Disarm the Snipers so they don't waste the ammunition too soon. (Also, build a bunch of your own Snipers).
I agree that Terping seems to have little point, but it's fun to do.
