Yay! My first Play as Creeper map. Cool!! It is small, easy and not too long but hopefully you will get stuck for a bit. Once the terp has been done and the Bertha is ready to shoot it may seem difficult. ...but most of their reactors are exposed. Probably I have said too much. I hope that you like it :)

A fairly good map, but you forgot the totems. without a field to position the creeper, the game gets rather slow. Glad to see a new PAC map though, not seen many as of late.
Is this Loss?

Well done on creating a PAC map, your part of a small, talented group! I tried to work it out but even the very good instructions were too much for me.

The map was fun but the middle game (bottom right and bottom left corners) were of no challenge whatsoever and so the bertha was easy to take out.

Really good to see though, please make another!!!

Hi Mike, thanks for you feedback. I did read that the totems would help, unfortunately i did not understand how it works.

Next map as you suggest i will try it and hopefully it will be better.

Domonik, thanks a lot for your comment. I did follow a very nice post something like "template" so basically it was someone elses work. Maybe following that one will encourage you. It is dated end of 2004 with an attachment. Sorry im being to vague on my explanation :)

Regards.

Hi Mike,

I just uploaded a new PAC and have placed some totems, could you please let me know if it is done properly?

I am unsure if it needs to have some properties on them or just the forge.

Many thanks in advance, regards.


Edit: The map is called PAC - Let it flow

one important thing you should know about play as creeper maps is that there is a bug allowing the player to have some control over terps. the player can set it to terraform to lvl 3 or cancel the existing terraforming orders.

i would also recommend that you put #PAC or #Playascreeper in the description, because many people usually (including myself) use those tags to find play as creeper maps.

other than that, decent map.

All you have to do is place the totem on the map. You don't have to do anything special to make the totems work on a PAC map. There's scripts that cycle through them all at the beginning of the game to keep track of them. You can add a forge to give abraxis some upgrades, but it's not necisary.
