You only need what's essential in your survival. Limited energy, firepower, ore, and aether upgrades. Take a break from being too OP and try to fight with what you only have.

I am always grateful when someone creates a map for the rest of us to play. This was interesting for a while, but it became apparent that it was going to be a very long and slow time of it.
Artificially increasing the difficulty is too often automatically decreases the fun.
Thank you for the work to put this together and I would love to try a version with a few more game pieces.
Thanks,
H

That disappointment when you get your first PZ...
However, it was a tough fight, playtesting must have been it's very own hell...

Greetings from The Shire!

Ok, who is the Idjit that overpowered my Nullifiers?
I do NOT want them blowing holes through the floor!?!?!?

Great map, it requires some creative thought to win with SUCH limited forces.

I had fun with the map I made and I had to say, it took me a while to get things right, and I decided to troll the players with PZ denial to prove my point  ;). After learning with the "No Chance" map, I learned how game-changing PZs are, so I only made the antiemitter leave a PZ (sacrifice choice). As always, I'll try to create maps that have some kind of gimmick with just vanilla entities. Thanks for the feedback  ;D.

P.S. This is my first reply. I'll try my best to reply to posts. Also, playtesting was alright; I just needed some thinking to get it right. Finally, I am the "idjit" that overpowered your nullifiers  :P.

If I knew how to do it, I would take your map and add back all the missing game pieces (and a whole pot full of Totems), then make a good hard run at it.
Now, THAT would be fun.
Thanks,
H

Call that map "Hedonism" and remove all restrictions just for funsies ;). Just make sure to link the original.

"Hedonism" - excellent wordplay.
I was serious about not knowing how to edit/modify a map. If someone does decide to re-do it with the normal pieces (and lots of Totems), please post an alert here.
I'll continue to monitor this thread.
Thanks,
H
