Finally a map with non default terrain colors, thanks lets see how it plays.

The concept of mixing classic and CSM is cool, the global level design is OK, but I think the SM part is not fun to play. There's too much level difference that make the creeper progression very very slow. Even in X4 speed, it takes hours to progress.

Keep going :)

I really like this map, and I'd be happy to see more maps like this!

For those who aren't sure what to do, I'd recommend searching "CSM" maps and just play them first. All of them. Well, a lot of them at least... they're great maps.

I couldn't bring myself to kill the emitter on the left as it would also kill my pressscious 1100/s AC emitter. Sure, it's not really needed but AC emitters are people too yanno. You can overrun the emitter, flip the switch, and then proceed to unlock the right side.

In most maps, once the creeper or AC gets to a depth of 500, it spills over into space. I didn't find a limit on this map - I had it up to 2,000 at one point and it just kept building. That's not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing, just an observation.

The fast-flowing creeper was kinda weird but with the amount of AC available, it wasn't a problem. And the flip emitters were much easier to just bomb than to nullify, imo.

Thanks for the cool map, Lanthanoide! Really neat ideas - keep up the good work  ;D ;D
You disagree with this sentence, don't you?

Finally found this map.

The interersting terrain and then the combination of CSM with regular elements made it interesting for about 10 mins then when you get to the CSM part with out having terps, no place to land and no place for any weapons just sucked the fun right out of it. Even 1 terp or a few land areas in the CSM portion would have been useful, What is the point when the only thing you can do is put it on 4x and then wait?

Yeah, the CSM aspects were interesting, but they were also sloooooow.

Good design ideas, not sure on the implementation.
Currently watching: ARIA, Dog Days, and other unlikely things.
And some likely things, too!
