I keep seeing the tags #CRPL and #noCRPL floating around Colonial Space, and I am confused.  What is CRPL, and how does it affect the maps I play?

CRPL is short for Creeper Reverse Polish Language. In short, it allows you to change much of the behavior of certain objects. For example, I can make extremely powerful spores that attack a specific unit instead of a random one.

Basically, the CRPL tag says "Hey, this map is gonna do a sp00py thing! Something out of the ordinary will happen in this map!"

Scripting language that allows map makers to go beyond the bounds of the built-in game units and functionality.

Many campaign maps such as Chanson, Mistet, Farbor, and Arca use it for their unique units.
In Colonial Space you'll find lots of creative uses, from boss units to the entire PAC (Play As Creeper) series.

And the wicked cool gravity well map?  I get it now.
