This is a very easy sleeper map, or a rather difficult map. It's completely your choice. This was mostly just a test of making multiple maps in a single map.
Please don't do multimaps. Just do two maps.
E.g. I don't see maps that I played already, so I am going to play this at a single level; I won't see the other levels.
Played the easiest version without knowing what sleeper does, it was a decent level for me. I might try some others as well but for now I've been owned enough by the sleeper.
edit: I only got owned a little bit because I didn't really know what sleeper does. Also, it seems a sleeper CN explosion somehow kills THOR units? Must be some powerful self destruction explosives if they can reach a THOR and still destroy it even with the distance.
Tried the hardest version right away and played all casual-style. Whoa... it actually lived up to its name! :o
If you do the hardest version, I'd recommend expanding out and defending the entire center. Bad things happened to me when I allowed the enemy CN to land outside the "little turtle". Go big turtle on this one.
As for the quality of the map - wow. I've played about 100 Sleeper maps (or maps that say "sleeper" in them... so actually only ~80 or so probably), and some of the biggest problems have been FIXED in this map!
1) The Sleeper CN's didn't suicide into a deep puddle of AC. Maybe that's just luck, but I liked it.
2) There is an actual threat even after you max your skills. That Sleeper forge thing shoots a pretty long distance, and even after you kill it, the Sleeper still keeps its upgrades.
3) Best of all, the whole thing isn't over when you kill the first CN... what? ??? What! :o WOOT! ;D ;D ;D
And yeah, I suppose I'd kinda like to try the easier maps too but this way you ensure that morons people with insufficient skill-sets won't give you a low score because you've given them a map that even my 4-year-old could beat... even though she has a hard time moving the mouse with her paws and using her nose to hit the keys.
As far as I can remember, this has to be my favorite Sleeper map. Ever. I'm sure it was a lot of work, and I for one appreciate it.
Thanks so much for an awesome map! A rare 10/10 from me! ;D ;D ;D
