Stall the creep as much as possible, and enialate it!

LOL, I'm sorry but I just can't help laughing at "enialate"... wow. Usually bad spelling in maps just hurts my head but for some reason in this case it literally made me laugh out loud. And I'm not using "literally" as a hyperbole in this case. My kids actually heard me and wondered what was so funny. My 7-year old laughed when she saw how "annihilate" was spelled. Not that she'd know how to spell it either, but she knew it started with an "a" at least.

BTW, you can go to Google.com or a number of search engines these days and type in how you think a word is spelled and it will give you the correct way to spell it. Or you can even click on the voice function on your smartphone and say a word and it will spell the word for you.

As for the map itself, it has nothing to do with your description. There is no need to "stall the creep [sic] as much as possible" when you can just win in about 40 seconds. To "stall" something means you're holding it back, but it implies that you're just going to be able to hold it off for a short time.

Normally I don't rip into maps this badly, but when you put a word like "legend" in your name it kinda infers that you have skills that would be considered "legendary". So it's the ironic contrast between the name and the map that makes this map and its description so funny.

I do want to encourage you to keep making maps. But you should probably start much more simply, both with words and with the units you use. Start with simple, easy words - or none at all - and start with no allied units either. You don't need to make a base so powerful when the threat is so weak.

Beating this this map was like taking out an inflatable bounce-house with a C-130 gunship.

At least make it a slight battle, please. And look up a word so you can learn something useful while you're having fun.

Today's student is tomorrow's legend. Keep trying and keep learning!  ;)
