I don't understand rules/mechanics (rain, pump) of game but very interesting! 10/10 from me with thanks for creativity and efforts!  :)

P.S. Understand rules. Fascinating!  :D

Just so everybody else understands the rules/mechanics...

The various pumps throughout the map pump to the northeast corner of the map.  There are 4 rain makers, but there is a void between each rain maker.  So each pump pumps to only one of the 4 rain makers.  Rain makers suck up any creep/AC at their position to build rain.  At 100% or -100%, they trigger rain and reset to 0%.  Hope that helps for anybody reading!  And glad you liked the map :)

You forgot to notice that 2 special Units create and send clouds of creeper spores to RainMakers. But this unit can be nullified or spores can be protected by Beams.

Thanks for good work!  :D

Ahhh, good point!  In addition to being nullifiable, they will also self-destruct if engulfed in AC for at least 15 secs :)

W  :D W! Just send Sprayers full with anti-creeper or attack by Bombers! Like in case of Grabz's ERS (Enemy Radioactive Sources)!

LOL!
I ignored all those Spores heading for the NE. After all, how could they hurt me way down where I was?
Oops!
Lots of fun - after learning how to deal with the pain of the rain.
Thanks,

I really liked this map

took me a few goes to get the hang of it

Spoiler
I terped 10high wall around the pumps and put sprayers in next to them set to always on, to pump anti-creem into the pumps.... once it going going I could have sprayers sitting top right corner collecting AC and spraying the other points (till I got to their pumps)

Haha, glad you liked it!  And yes, doesn't seem like they can hurt you until it rains ;)

I really liked this one, and it's a good bit easier than some of the impossible maps.

Liked the rain, especially that it can rain AC or Creeper, depending on what fills it up. Great work!

;D ;D
You disagree with this sentence, don't you?

jasons2645

Glad you liked it!!  And yes, definitely easier than some of those other maps...
