@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 :)
ImKibitz 29 Jan, 2019 @ 5:19pm 
Definitely a spicey meatball!

Good work,all problems fixed. I will begin my 3rd try....
POBmaestro  [author] 29 Jan, 2019 @ 11:21am 
Although admittedly it was unintended it did add a new challenge! But without the early stone I think the average player will end up frustrated and really struggle on the final wave. It's a fine line between making it fun challenging hard and frustratingly hard!

So when I first played when the stone by command center was not accessible I thought it was intended. I was like oh this is gong to be hard, I'm going to have to quickly expand north, grab enough stone for a barracks before the north waves start and I'm pushed back. I thought the idea of temporary access to a resource early on would be a interesting idea, maybe that's partly why I only got to day 33 on my first try,

天梯连跪9场 - if you still have problems with the stone after the update can you please take a picture/screenshot so I can see how the mountains are for you? The mountains seem to change where they are for different players and this can block the space for the stone to be used.

天梯连跪9场 - sorry for all of the English. I will translate it all to Chinese when all of the campaign is released. Some like to have more plots, others don't but it can be skipped.

I did do an update recently that should have fixed the stone issue (caused by a strange bug). Can you restart your game, making sure Steam Workshop has done the update and let me know if you can use it yet? I never had a problem with the giant and he's got a setting not to get close to the command center but obviously that doesn't always work :(
LGM_Angel 29 Jan, 2019 @ 3:43am 
the stone beside the center can't be used,maybe u can fix it.
LGM_Angel 29 Jan, 2019 @ 3:42am 
Good map! but It's really hard. the giant on the top is too close to the command center and it get me on about 20 days???? I will give it another try some day. by the way, there are too many plots and even my english is good i don't have the patience to read them...

@Swat__Raptor - thanks and you did great to get to day 33 on your first try! Shame you didn't quite get to see the final wave - I had to use Executors!
Swat__Raptor 28 Jan, 2019 @ 9:01pm 
This is awesome, first try they got me on day 33, OHHHH, I'll have to try again tommorow
