A short map mainly made to test my first custom CRPL tower, the Spore Converter.
Can't say I like the fact that there's no opening text that describes the unit's behavior, and next ting I know, with no warning whatsoever, a bunch of spores erupt and nuke my base.
One way to see what unknown CRPL units do is to let game run once without doing anything. (in this case no)
Also if map has CRPL, it's good idea to build some beams and snipers. These could be useful.
Spore converter isn't new idea but it was in different name and use, I think. :)
Hubs Hyper Tower in Arc Eternal Redemption was little similar?
Edit: Well, I got hit by spore just in this map... :/ Heavy creeper payload, it seems. And no save.
Yeah, I just restarted the game after the spores surprised me at the first try. Otherwise a nice map!
I suspect the converter towers actually make it easier rather than harder, by diverting some creeper and by allowing me to just shoot some out of the sky.
Thanks Groker!
