Tons of fields, and maybe even a surprise or two

I hope you all enjoy this map, setting the fields up was a lot of fun.  Without spoiling the surprise tell me what you all thought please!

Before even playing it. Save before breaking ANY AND ALL terrain!

I liked some of the fields.  Of course the ending was kind of suprising, and I forgot to use the dark beam until the very end.

Here's my hones opinion. I hope you enjoyed the map, because a few of the things you did kind of ruined to for me in that it reduces my wish to replay this map.

Spoiler

First you put the final gateway in a very inaccessible place. Far as I can tell, the only solution is to use the DB to destroy it. But then you give it a health of 2, meaning I now have to sit there, already knowing I don't have a challenge with the strong drones, whittling away at the gateway's extra health. THen you deliberately reduced the mirrors to two. SO if the final surprise kills me, I get to restore my last save and play again (if the player has a save), or I have to destroy the DB and sit there while building another DB.  Neither of these issues are in any way a challenge to the player, yet they detract from the enjoyability of your map.

The spiral room concept was nice, few of the rooms presented a real issue that was hard to overcome.

I agree, he could've reduced te gateways health to 1.
Should've read my comment, and save before breaking terrain, or just hit 'R'
2 mirrors so it is more of a challenge. So you can't build the dB next t your LS, safe for enternity.
It was a very easy, unique, cool, enjoyable map. Sometimes it's fun jus tto pla y a map like this where it's fun to look at the fields, but it's easy and fun.
(all of this is my opinion)

The 2 health gateway was put there to frustrate you and make you forget to save/move the db.  I understand that a 2 health anything is annoying to destroy with the gateway.  I thank you for your comments!

Spoiler

I used repulsers to defeat the fields that pour into the room you are working in, two did the trick for me nicely.  8 blasters and 6 launchers were used as well.

Here's how I handled the final gateway:

Spoiler

Just turn off the db and let the guy rampage through the level for awhile while you use a couple nullifiers on the gateway.  Just gotta quick delete any rifts if he gets close to them

"q" disables a m-rift so you can reopen it after the danger has passed.  ::)

Yay! Finally a Cube map again

Yay! Finally a Cube map again

LOL, September, October, November, December, January... and you noticed? :)

[pocketdare]

Very nice map. Agree with all the comments that the structure (and surprise) of the last room made it more of a needless grind than it had to be. But fun cube map aside from that!
