This is an EXTREMELY difficult map. While tthe creep near the castle will be no easy task to defeat, the spores and creep to the east can quickly overwhelm you. Good luck!

Wow, can't believe there are no replies on this map.

First of all, what a great & difficult start! Maybe I was missing something but I had to restart 3 times and even then it was a good fight to push out from the little base. Very well balanced and challenging - not as difficult as some of your newer maps perhaps but still very enjoyable!

Thanks for the map!  ;D

Hmm, nice!

The start needs a carefully balanced approach, although the inclusion of an unlimited Thor pickup makes the later game rather routine.

True, but perhaps for younger players it's helpful to have. I don't use it mainly because it's a bit OP. But it does look cool and makes for a much easier game. If that's what you're looking for, that is!  ;)

Thanks for posting this comment. I had no idea the game was hanging out there waiting to be played.
BTW - it took me 29 minutes to conquer the island, yet one player did the whole map in 14 minutes.
Humbling.
Fun game, thanks.

Yeah, I think 14 minutes is a bit unrealistic myself but then again I almost never try for a short time.

You should try all of Jason's maps if you haven't already. All of his maps (so far at least) have been challenging, yet fun. His maps won't have as broad of an appeal as Yum's perhaps, but they're some of the most challenging-without-being-frustrating maps I've found.
