This is my third map, and this map I'm pretty pleased with. Hope you enjoy it as much I did.

Three things:

1. Nice figuring out how to embed your custom image in the header post! :)

2. Great perspective! The starting position appears really, really high above the plain.

3. For $26.3 billion I'd have expected to fight a bit harder... ;)


Note: For all those planning to imbed larger images of their maps. Please use the following code to make your image size fit in the normal thread without needing scrolling:



[img width=640 height=480]

[/img]




The height and width attributes can be adjusted to give a good fit. I found that the above seems to be "standard" and will yield this image:

Leaving out one of the two (height or width) will allow proportional scaling as my example above.

Why did you swap the width and height to be the wrong way around?

Very nice map with great graphics! I love the way you used the textures and would certainly like to play more of these. I wouldn't mind however if you made them a little harder.... Keep this up!

I started to play this game for just 2 weeks ago, so I don't know the levels easy to expert quite well yet.. I guess I think my maps are harder than they actualy are because I'm still a noob :)

I will make them better and harder after I have learned the game tactics a little better :)

I understand. I'm glad you joined the forums and started making maps!

Great graphics, interesting story, but I can't get under 13 1/2 minutes. I'd like to know how some of you can be so efficient. My strategy is to get the blaster & upgrades, build reactors, speed and storage, charge across to the pyramid with blasters and mortars, then move to the other corners. Any suggestions?

This is exactly what I did if I remember well. I didn't use mortars though. I fill up every available space on the left with reactors and some blasters, paratroop to the left of the pyramid, build some more blasters in the meanwhile and advance to the right over the pyramid.
