The adventure continues. Skars and Lia find something interesting. Why are these worlds always so well protected. Warning! Random Creeper Rain. Build fast, build hard, build redundancies.

Good luck! Several more parts to come.

This might be my all time favorite map. Nice job Sorrontis! :)

Sorrontis · August 13, 2015, 05:10:32 PM

Thanks! Next one will be a doozy. I've been working on the CPRL code for a while. So it'll be interesting.

If your future maps are anything like this one, I can't wait! Keep doing well... :)

Have you played the previous maps (there's 7 more), 3 are part of the same story.

You like this?

Random creeper rain is my reason to skip it.

That's a fair point. That's why I put warnings in my descriptions. It's not major rain, and it occurs ~8-12 minutes. So, you'll see it 3 times in the average play.

It was a good map and I was having fun but when the rain came I quit. Games with random destruction aren't my cup of tea, although I recognize there are others who like it.

You're not going to like CR pt 8. :P Although 5-7 should be without randomnized death.

Games with random destruction rate right up there next to games with no Totems/Forge - but this was manageable.
:)
That first rainfall came earlier than I expected, but I was able to back up and get better prepared.
You continue to make some of the best games currently on the board, and we can only hope that you don't team up with 'paster.healer' for some nigh unto impossible battles.
Thanks for what you're doing.

Yikes!
Digging a foxhole here.

This is one of the best 'random' destruction maps I have played, you can plan for it as it is predictable and so you just adjust your strategy to accommodate it.

'Random' is often a derogatory remark on here but I think it is just another challenging aspect of the game and if it is done correctly (as here) then it adds another dimension.

Thanks for the fun maps :)

I'm really happy you liked it. I know most people don't like the random destruction maps, so I tried to make it a minor aspect.

My other map (Volcanic Activity) was ill prepared, and it showed in the ratings. Now I know what people like, so I can add a challenge without frustrating too many people. Also, I place warnings in the descriptions for those who don't even want to play them. It's valid.
