Please cancel the game failure mechanism when the leader dies. I have no way to distinguish it from other snipers.

Nice roleplay effort, good setting, but unlimited resources=no challenge

"You lost the iron mines, GG no RE."

Thanks for telling me that you had a completely arbritrary lose condition. I won this map, but the game stopped me about a minute early as i was mopping up the last of the zombies and told me that a completely under control section of the line was "Breached" and that i "Lost."

Yeah nah thanks mate.

Easy map actually. Steamrolled through it. Also there is a bug with resources showing up at minus instead of plus.

I love it man make more level similar to this

Fun map! Thanks!

My rig is lagging on final wave but still able to play through. Anyone who have better specs comment on performance?

I feel like this one was quite a bit easier than expected. There was a nice way you handled the waves that caught me off guard, but it ended up not being much of a setback.

I would suggest making the waves repeat ad-infinitum. We've got a time limit to holdout for and it would be cool to be constantly losing and having several waves of defense go down (I built 4 waves of defense but my first one only got breached up the top left (limited space to build).

I ended up deleting all my walls/towers before the waves finished so I had some challenge... but it was still pretty easy.

That was awesome. Lost the first try - wasn't quite expecting what hit me! Got it on the second try.

Jeez, a quality crafted map, it's damned near to perfection. But dude, you considered that we don't own NASA'S PCs?

The hardest thing in this map - get your fps higher than 0.5 :D

This one wasn't bad, but it was easy. The gold part actually wasn't the problem, it was the workers. I had enough workers to kit nearly 500 snipers, 100 thanatos, and 25 titans. I used a few walls, but mostly just barbed wire and guns. What stopped me was #1 Oil, and #2 workers.

Beatable but good fun. Kudos for complex terrain

Really fun map! But we the unlimited funds it was a little bit easy :-D
Swat__Raptor 1 Dec, 2018 @ 8:43pm 
maybe there could be another version of this map where you don't have so unlimited funds, I mean its fun to put down layers of wall and then pack the snipers in before sealing that section off with another section of wall + snipers and reapeat untill the wave finaly comes and your 7+ layers deep in fortifications, I mean seriously the empire was most certainly bankrupted by this endevor. any way had fun

Thank you. yes I plan to continue with the emporer's death, but after making these 4 this past week, I want to stop for a little and pay attention to the comments and bugs. Likely will have another next weekend.

Plus I have to check what others are doing, I am amazed how big the community is for this little game and want to see what others have accomplished since the tool's release.
Crisp 1 Dec, 2018 @ 3:38pm 
do you plan on making more of these or was this just a one off 4episode kind of thing ? My favorite map was the 2nd one it had a nice reclaiming theme to it definitly was super original. You da best :D
Icthulu  [author] 1 Dec, 2018 @ 12:46pm 
Glad you liked it Crisp and everyone else too. This was meant to just let the player try out defense types and designs without having to struggle through 30-120 days of building.

I guess the Harpy AI just glitched and leaped over the walls and defenses to go after easy prey. I wonder if that was because there was no imediate square to attack from it just moved on to the next available target, must like your troops will shot other zombies because a unit already claimed that kill.

If true, this is an interesting trait to exploit.

Unlimited resources = half map covered with wire trap = only giants and fatties with like 20% of the wave hits the walls... defended by some 300 thanatos... = meat grinder
Ricky Spanish 30 Nov, 2018 @ 11:38pm 
Great map, enjoyed it very much. Lets you build your little heart out defense wise and play with a lot of your favorite units in mass. So many titans!! I recommend the whole series very much!
Crisp 30 Nov, 2018 @ 10:15pm 
Icthulu. Yes I got the game over because of my leader dying. that was probably the reason, as for harpies i honeslty have no clue how they got past they just appaeared suddenly on the eastern most side, i had plenty of turrets in their way so i would have seen them coming. Other then that i tried it again and this time i just left my leader at town hall and completed thanks for th emap its awesome :D
Icthulu  [author] 30 Nov, 2018 @ 5:50pm 
The leader, your character, needs to survive the fight. Sadly the message that says you have perished doesn't display before the end game naration. Will ask the forums to look at that if they have any spare time.
Frenky 30 Nov, 2018 @ 3:23pm 
ok soo idk wtf i was fighting the end wave and zombies were nowhere near my comand center and i just suddenly died idk how or why
Icthulu  [author] 30 Nov, 2018 @ 8:22am 
KarEssMoua, you can give the sniper an ID in the properties along with the custome name. I call mine Mayor. And I have a 0d event that has a condition: IsDead(Mayor) which has game end checked at the bottom.

Icthulu, you made an impressive work ! Almost won it at my first try but south had broken too fast ! :( Gonna definitly try it again ! A very good work !

Btw, i've got a question, how did you script the sniper leader to make loose the game if he is killed ? It would help me a lot !

Hippy 29 Nov, 2018 @ 9:21pm 
Looks interesting will check it out
Icthulu  [author] 29 Nov, 2018 @ 8:20pm 
Hi Crisp, Interesting, and I am sorry about that. The only way you can game over is if you lose the town hall or your character dies. Do you think that the Leader was in their line of attack? Other question is, they didn't sneak into the base? This map isn't designed to try to cheat the defenses.

let me know.
Crisp 29 Nov, 2018 @ 8:07pm 
is it made on purpose that 10 harpies come from the side where all the iron deposits are, they want straight for the wonders spawning as you can imagine a crap ton of zombies. i got thwe game over screen even though i had successfully held the other fronts, my town hall was still up as well .
Emarinus 29 Nov, 2018 @ 3:48pm 
yeah, you got it now... nice map btw
Garretthewarior 29 Nov, 2018 @ 12:03pm 
Glad to see another fun map. Definitely looking forward new adventures in the series!
Icthulu  [author] 29 Nov, 2018 @ 11:49am 
Thanks for looking at it Eef, what's misspelled? I am clearly blind.
Emarinus 29 Nov, 2018 @ 9:05am 
you should spell the title correctly that might help your downloads
