The entire map is crumbling around you and there is creeper, drones, phantoms and dig sites all headed your way. Which to kill first?
I admit this map is pretty lame, design-wise. It was actually one of the first ones I made way back. It originally didn`t start with blasters and phantom coils but that was too difficult.
I have tried it 3 times so far, without finding a working strategy. Its (of course) not nearly as creative as your other maps, but I still like playing it, and I know I will find a way to beat it.
Keep up the map-making :)
I recommend you talk to Snowmaker (JM) He's destroyed my scores easily on at least the last 4 maps I made. :D This is a speed map for sure, although MUCH easier that I anticipated with the right strategy. First rule is have minimum 2 anti-creeper makers and 6-8 ore extractors by about 2 minutes. then the map (almost) finishes itself.
This map was designed before I started the Dagon series and in hindsight I should have redesigned it, including feilds and more aggressive enemies. I submitted it in a rush before I had to go out that day and regret that I didnt improve it first. Ah, learn from my mistakes I guess. :-\
Concur on "Keep up the map-making" - fun stuff - and I'm really enjoying the Dragon series.
