3 heads of AngryDragon. Looks nice! :)
Next will be Dragons from Mars? ;)

Thanks Yum, looks nice but may not be too popular this one. Bit of a drag if you are not a whizz at multi-tasking!

First score came in, 1! I thought I'd at least get a 2 for the graphics! ;D

Not easy! Especially evil 10 Spores Tower.

Hard but managable start!

Spoiler

(I used the western island and the north-east and east islands as base, lost almost one island due to insufficient beams but managed to keep it... I needed one guppy for the small spore tower

and the thor was welcome to clean up. So, a nice mixture between speedrun (start) and turtle! I had fun!
Greetings from The Shire!

Yes sorry Yum. I made this one for myself so it is not very nice. Gad you had fun Bilbo!

Spoiler

I started with one CN left west, one in south of England and one South East. After collecting the pick up on the SE I then moved it to the east middle island to get the terp.

There are a number of different approaches possible, just depends how much micro management you like.

I played it the same way as you, Dp. Thoroughly enjoyed it! As mentioned above, the thor was very welcomed for the cleanup!

This was such a great map! Gorgeous, challenging and apparently a lot of different strategies are possible. I started on the three eastern gargoyles and prioritized getting the aether pack from Wales before it flooded. Might actually play it again.
Thanks to the author!

I am still waiting from You new PAC MARS map! ;)

If possible...

D0m0nik · March 25, 2018, 03:35:49 PM

Not sure if I have the time or the energy for another PAC map any time soon, they take me days to make and test, I'm not the fastest map maker!

Thanks for reply! :) :D :)

Mr. D,
Wandering through old maps and found this thread.
Beautiful graphics and a good reminder of how England has been (mis)treated by her enemies to the East.
I will save and try this one as soon as I get a decent time on your newest offering.
Thanks,
H

Thanks H. You may struggle for time then this weekend, just posted another one. ;D
