Feedback: Yes, I would really like some.
Tell how you like the map
and
if you would like a new version (mrscirc1.* ?). More
scrap
? I think any new version will have more passes
between
the circles. It is simply easier to get to your
opponents'
bases than to use the middle of the map.
Powerups: I put a few weapon power ups
between the spawn points:
4
each chaingun, m curtain, at-stabber, and shadower.
If
you want more, and you likely will, build an armoury.
The
weapons don’t respawn.
Description: You have three geysers and a scrap field.
Each opponent
has
the same. There are also some uncontrolled geysers
that
you might want to use to put your factory closer
to
the action. However, use of this map shows that the
geysers
by the spawn points are actually closer to the
action.
A gun tower half way to the next base could
help,
but don't expect it to last. Also, try building
silos.
That scrap isn't too plentiful, and it's well
scattered.
Don't expect to build 10 thunderbolts and
storm
the enemy base right off. BZFRAC made by Derek
Sorensen
(bz@bumblbee.demon.co.uk) made this map much
easier
and faster to make and ensured that it was
balanced.
The map was originally multst70, but I used
a
homemade visual basic text editor to change the bzn
file.
It works.
