Its an ok map, but I would really like to see some sort of warning that at some point the creeper will just randomly rise up and eat you.

Well, he did say "with fields." :)

[tijno77]

it was a first try :)

my next map (wich i already uploaded) will be better, i hope..

but at least im trying XD

Please take my remarks as constructive criticism, and simply a matter of MY oppinion. Others might think otherwise.

The trick is to give the correct level of warning. The map would be boring if the inital message said: "Listen up, at 1:30  a giant wave of creeper will rise up and eat you", simply because the map would be giving too much warning.


An example of what I would find a good start text:
Morning, Commander and welcome to #InsertWorldNameHere. Your orders are simple. Destroy all the creeper and their foul emitters. Be warned though, the creeper on this world seems to have learned how to bombard us, fortunately their range is limited. There is also indications that they are working on a powerfull weapon, some sort of wave device. Good luck Commander.

I liked this map, even though the air turned blue when that first wave came up from below. :)

After that, as my grandma used to say "forewarned is forearmed."  :)  Good map.

My first chance to play this and I really liked it.
Fortunately, I read the comments before playing and was somewhat prepared.

Definitely worth a second play.
Thanks,
