Standard mission. Land, take out all enemy structures, leave. HUGE thanks to Nicant for all of his help. Almost all of the CRPL in the map is his.

The speedrunners won't even notice the scripting.

I recalled there would be some trap, so I played rather cautiously the first time. The second time, I just ploughed through with the standard 4x/pause combination, comfortably finishing before the script went off.

Yeah, I kind of figured that would happen. Unfortunately, I am not the best CW3 player nor did I have an inordinate amount of time when making this map to play through it, so I had to make it moderately easy. This was basically a warm-up though, so next time (assuming there is one) I intend to put a lot more effort into it.

I'd set the timer to 1min. With enough AC, one can use Mortars only for bulk destruction.

Spoiler

One minute doesn't give enough time for someone to start using Pulse Cannons, though. My goal was for someone to be right in the middle of battle and suddenly their pulse cannons go out of operation. I will have a shorter timer in any future maps, though.

Lol - as I don't intend to speedrun, I didn't use any cannons - so in fact, nothing happened :)

PS: Nevertheless a nice idea!

Wait— how in the world does one not use cannons in their default strategy?  :o

When there is aether and no early danger...
However, I loved the mortars from the moment they were introduced and I somehow stuck with them ;)
But yes, when they are needed, I use cannons, too :)
