28 Years Later - Phase 06X (Tunnel Vision)

Description
This is the same map as Phase 6 but much much harder...

28 years have passed since a phenomenon known as the The Tempest engulfed the world. McCauley and Ava find themselves in a tunnel underground Kirkwall following the recent events that unfolded there…

Difficulty: Challenging. This map has a different twist. The first wave arrives from the south on day 2 and doesn’t end until day 33. The second wave arrives from the north on day 14 and also ends on day 33. Both waves build up in numbers and strength as time goes on. There are two days of breathing room and then the final wave comes on day 35.

The game will end if Ava (hero Ranger) or McCauley (hero Sniper) are killed, so take good care of them especially during the final wave (maybe keep them back at base to be safe).

Without spoiling the story too much this how the campaign is shaping up:

“Chapter 1 – Wait it Out”
Phase 1 - "One Foot in the Grave" - Peaceful Lowlands (Scotland) - Out Now
Phase 2(+X) - "Seeds of Change" - Peaceful Lowlands (Scotland) - Out Now
Phase 3(+X) - "Highland to Hell" - The Frozen Highlands (Scotland) – Out Now
Phase 4(+X) - "A Tale of Two Cities" - The Frozen Highlands (Scotland) – Out Now

“Chapter 2 – Hide and Seek”
Phase 5 - "Welcome to Kirkwall" - Peaceful Lowlands (Kirkwall) – Out Now
Phase 6(+X) - "Tunnel Vision" - Dark Moorlands (Kirkwall underground) – Out Now
Phase 7 - "March of the Titan" - Desolated Wasteland (Yorkshire) – Out Now
Phase 8 - "Passfire" - Desolated Wasteland (Liverpool) – Out Now

“Chapter 3 – You Know Where to Find Me”
Phase 9 - "Lily of the Valley Pt 1" - Peaceful Lowlands (Wales) – Out Now
Phase 10 - "Lily of the Valley Pt 2" - Dark Moorlands (Wales underground) – Out Now
Phase 11 - "Bridges over Troubled Water" - The Peaceful Lowlands (London) – Out Now
Phase 12 - "The Tempest" - (Secret!) – 12th March 2019

This schedule is based on my current real life commitments and may move forward or backwards depending on anything else that comes up including new assets and maps being added to the game.

I hope you enjoy the maps and I welcome all feedback!

@LGM_Angel - thanks! I'm waiting on the devs to fix some bugs that are causing problems with the next maps. But I think there should be the next 4 maps out by the end of next week :)

I decided to delay Phase 7 by a week to push its release closer to Phase 8 as they are linked like Phase 5 and 6. I think it will be worth the extra wait. Sorry I forgot to update the release dates on this one (done it now).

@[eXs]Spitbob & @RONIN - ty :)

@sunnydance - thanks for the detailed feedback and I agree with your points! Really I could do with the X maps being harder and then a medium difficulty in-between. Newbies find the vanilla maps very hard, some find the vanilla maps very easy and X versions very hard, and then players like yourself who find even the X maps a bit easy. But what I would say is I'm aiming for more of a story game-play experience. I only want these maps to be played 1 - 3 times otherwise I feel the story experience gets frustrating. This is why I don't mind some of the things you mentioned happening on your 3rd try. What I love though is all of the different ways people play the maps and complete it in ways I didn't imagine!

This all said I will definitely use your feedback in the future, especially Phase 12X which I plan to make a true nightmare finale map!

Fun map, with good story and it made me actually believe it was all happening under ground.
Some remarks:
-Never got the iron ore nor did I get the additional stone; did everything with the 1 stone mine and buying ore.
-The waves in my humble opinion are too slowly increased. Can really be turned up a notch or 2 mid-game.
-The start is fun and challenging, but on 3rd go, I decided to simply go to the 2 caves with Ava and elite sniper and 2 soldiers. So before even the 1st slow wave started I had already taken the recourses of those two caves, making the start obviously a lot easier, so maybe something to think about.
-I would add some fast zombies in Eden on hard level as well to make it bit more challenging. I cleared most of it with Ava alone.
-I would add at least 1 giant on each wave at the end making the total to 4 in order to make it harder.

These are just my thoughts. Your maps are great and have a nice and rich storyline to them. So please keep up the good work.

@天梯连跪9场 thanks and good luck :D

@ImKibitz haha indeed! Can't wait to see your attempt(s) and I must find a way to get a spicey meatball reference into a map. I hope you got the Winking Giant reference in Phase 5 :)

Definitely a spicey meatball!
