Planet: Mars
Size: 5120x5120
(Large)
Players: 2
Type: Strategy
Scrap Count: 300
Geysers: 10
Powerups: This is strategy - build an
armoury. It will not necessarily
launch
everything where you want it due to the terrain.
Description:
Commander, due to the locations of the geysers, we are dropping
you and
your recycler in one of the canyons. Skyeye has detected large
scrap
fields north and south of your position. The canyons are almost
symmetrical, but one side has slight advantage due to the west
end of
the middle pass and the greater distance between the geysers and
the
cliff in the west. We have placed some NAV beacons to help you,
and we
think the enemy has placed some to mark the same spots. Destroying
the
enemy beacons should delay an attack until the enemy can build
a comm
tower. It may be a good idea to move your recycler to one of the
scrap
fields as it will be much easier to defend. Day wreckers and walkers
have
potential here for rear attacks. An ideal plan would involve 5
attackers
through the lower pass, 5 attackers through the upper pass, and
a number
of turrets or minelayers through the middle all at once. Chances
are the
enemy or scrap supply would not let you do that. The map was originally
multst99, but I used a homemade visual basic text editor to change
the
bzn file. It works.
