not having CRPL "random effects" enemies is a winner for me.  :)
while i appreciate the effort that goes into the CRPL wandering enemies, i find that they turn a game of tactics and strategy into a game of luck (or of working out the path the enemy takes if not truly random).
this i find no fun, but using CRPL to add corrupted units i like, so new static enemies are great, but wandering ones change the game too much for me to enjoy. i'm reaching the point where i just skip maps with moving emitters/units etc, shame cos of the effort involved in those maps (usually a very high standard of map), but if i don't find them fun there's no point playing them  ::)

You might like CS#170.
I just finished it this morning and thought it outstanding.
A little bit of wandering by a CRPL critter, but a predictable path and a fine kill when you get it.

"very high standard" is an apt description of the game.

is that the "crawler"?
i looked at the large map and it looks nice, but i guess i just get down about not being able to plan, but a predictable path is...well... predictable, so i should give it a blast.
cheers for the heads-up

Si! Esta es "Crawler".
I had 4 Snipers ready when it was time (in a bunch with one in the bottom left PZ).
