Experimental CSM map. Be careful in using bomb chip! The leader of the former Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev threatened to show everyone superbomb "KUZKIN's MOTHER". In this game player can obtain created by ScriptMaster Regallion three such crazy bombs which can be placed on Movable Tower and destroy in some area ALL (any units and even terrain!). Just move Movable Tower in proper place and send to it chip "KUZKINA MATI" - will be BOOM! :)
Where's CSM-201?
Oh, and the level is decent. Rated it 10/10 out of habit, but there's not really much challenge after the start. You just keep progressing without even having to do anything for it until the end, where suddenly things go slow again. Some people could call it satisfying but I call that lack of interaction. Sorry for being hard on the level, but there's just too much better levels that you have created. I would probably have to rate it 7/10 if I rate 'fair'
I still look forward to the next YUMtastic CSM level.
Thanks for another CSM map, I really enjoy these,
I do kind of agree with Tricky about the end of the game, Flight times for bombs are just too slow. I mostly used stop bombs since they are the most useful due to how slow everything flys. This has been mentioned many times, The speed will increase for 1 map then go back to flying slower then paint drys.
Cheers
Thanks again YUM for another CSM map, and a new bomb!
I found that there was really only the three obvious places for the new bomb, it didn't really add much to the level. It would be interesting to see a level where there wasn't such an obvious use for them - much more chance for different strategies that way. Have to be careful not to cut yourself off!!
Thanks for comments and you are welcome!
This bomb is too powerful. If player put it near invisible core it can be destroyed and player will loss in game. That is why in this game was only 3 fix position for its.
Good lu!

I'm considering about creating something similar, but it can turn void into terrain or terrain into void. (swaps them)
Not sure how to avoid making it OP tho... :(
inversion (void/terrain) bomb? ::)

Interesting (continues to put all my own emitters in space to make them more efficient)
If builder reads this: Check if a tile is occupied before switching it's terrain, or my strategies will be unstoppable.
If YUM234 reads this: hello
Cool map, as always! I'm not exactly sure what to think about the bomb... I see the points that others have made, and I'm less opinionated about it I suppose. The rest of the map is cool, and I like the stronger-than-average emitters, although the nullifier bombs... well, they nullify them so their strength is kinda irrelevant. But honestly, even that doesn't matter because these maps are just so stinkin' cool!! ;D ;D
