Feedback: Yes, I would really like some.
Tell how you like the map
and
if you would like a new version (drsmlvs1.* ?). What
changes
should this have, more players?
Planet: Venus
Size: 1280x1280
(Very Small)
Players: 2
Type: Strategy
Scrap Count: Exactly 200, divided fairly
Geysers: 42 !
Powerups: This is strategy - build an
armoury. It will not necessarily
launch
everything where you want it due to the terrain.
However,
I suspect that it will launch stuff right most of the
time,
especially if you put it on a hill.
Description:
This map may be small but it is probably my most elaborate
and symmetrical.
Usually when I create a map it is of the one level canyon maze category,
like misn06 (Escape from Mars) and misn13 (Total destruction).
This map is
two level throughout, as there is a route up onto every hill.
In this way it
is something like my Large Achilles Map, only one sixteenth the
area. I tested
the routes up the hills with subordinate units during the editing
and all
hills passed the tests. A computer pilot’s APC successfully
found and used all
routes up and down. I called this version 1.1 because the initial
version,
multst78, had annoying lightning and thunder effects that would
give me a
headache if I didn’t press the mute button. I deleted that
part of the new trn.
A howitzer on your side can shell the enemy base something like
in Activision™’s
Big Venus Map. Also, sniping could have potential. When I played
this against my
brother William, I found a pair of turrets at each end of the
central pass can
provide adequate defence, but they will need to be repaired or
replaced at times.

Before you begin exit Battlezone if it is running.
1) All the files in the zip file need to be unzipped into your

you have the
following files in your Battlezone\addon directory (folder): drsmlvns.bzn
