easy map
*Voice in my head* Check whether Rennervate has made a new map.
*Me* F***! I was about to go to bed! Now I have to play.
First thought: "Easy map - meh, easy maps are garbage"
Second thought: "Oh, only 10% completion ratio! Maybe it's fun!"
Third thought: "Yup! This is a fun map that makes you think!"
*Looks at entire map after finishing base* - Fourth thought: "Ugh. The rest of the map is going to be stupidly boring."
So, maybe this is what you're going for, I dunno. You clearly have some good skill because the starts of your maps are fantastic. But the rest of the long, drawn-out clean-up is like playing chess with 2 queens vs. a guy with a solitary king who refuses to forfeit. I mean, ok sure it's still some kind of a game and you have to move pieces to win. But it's not a challenge anymore and the map just gets slowly easier over the next 8 hours.
I hope you understand that I'm not exactly complaining. I'm just curious as to why you'd make a map like that. Beginners would do great with the clean-up but they can't handle the beginning so they can't get to the clean-up point. Experts would love the beginning but hate the rest of it. It's like 10% of the map is for the top 10% of players. The rest of it is for the players who cannot play that part of the map.
Having said all that, the starts of your maps are a compelling enough reason for me to play them. I do like them. I would just prefer to love them, that's all. Hope that's helpful! =)
Thanks for taking the time to make these maps!
you are 100% right here.
