Hours and hours of fun. Note that Sami kind of ruins it.

In case you don't understand, don't take it sertously.

Going last in this map sucks
Shadow Star (07/31/2006 04:23pm | Edited: 07/31/2006 04:24pm):
or does it?
if you try to take the HQ of the person who is capturing yours, then you lose. if someone
captures the person who is cpaturing yours then you don't lose.
and the Silo adds soemthig else.
launch the Silo at someone capturign your HQ (or might capture it after your silo is gone) or
start capturing.

interesting idea, i'd play it...but not as OS.....and it's rare where your CO doens't matter in the
least.

no combat, and no deployment.
i'll give it a 4
Yankee_Hater (07/31/2006 06:45pm):
how does sami ruin it, it still takes her 2 days to capture, and there is no combat with which
to gain her SCOP
daytonausafan (07/31/2006 11:16pm | Edited: 07/31/2006 11:17pm):
It's like Survivor, and you vote off someone you don't like

CO Choice might have to do with it...if someone likes/dislikes your CO, it could swing
in/against your favor
WIlksjohnson (08/01/2006 02:17am):
hmm which hq to capture so many choices...

"how does sami ruin it, it still takes her 2 days to capture, and there is no combat with which

You would need to hit Sami's infantry with two missiles to prevent it from capturing your HQ
in two turns.

You're exactly right. Winning requires either luck or temporary alliances.

Sonja also has an advantage (with the hidden HP).
Yoyobuae (08/01/2006 09:03am):
I wonder how FoW would be. =D
gunner1138 (08/01/2006 11:41am):
This map sux big time. 1/10
twindragons (08/01/2006 11:50am):
I think its a really fun idea!!!

Even funnier.

EVERYONE likes Adder.. right?
MooglePirate (08/01/2006 06:57pm):
Seems like a really boring map that can end too easily in a stalemate.

Everyone uses Missles not only does that not kill everyone but the ones who are injured
take too long trying to capture the other HQ's and (not sure on the rule for multiple
HQ's) wouldn't that not even work? just seems pretty poorly done.
JeredCain (08/06/2006 06:37am):
The rule on multiple HQs is, if you lose one HQ, you're out.

Looks like an interesting map, but... y'know. A joke. Though FoW makes for some very
funny situations.
daytonausafan (08/06/2006 05:49pm):
Actually, problem is is that some nukes can damage two infantry at once. That kind of sucks
Gorgapor (08/20/2006 06:50pm):
10/10, because it's the only map that requires complex game theory to win
TarquinMitzi (08/21/2006 02:48pm):
fix it that missiles canthit multiple inf and i'll vote a ten.

gofry1989 (08/24/2006 04:02pm):
If you use fog of war, no one will know who has had missiles fired at them, so you can't
attack someone because you think they are/aren't vulnerable. But that would take all the
strategy of basing your actions on others' actions away, so maybe that's not a good idea.
Paul.Power (08/25/2006 03:21pm):
I have a question about multiple HQs: I know that capturing one of them eliminates the
"capturee", but do all the HQs become cities of your colour? If so, then if you're
playing in FoW it gives you a strong indicator of who's captured whom, which will probably
influence your strategy.

Not complaining, I'm just saying that that adds another layer of interest if it's the case.
thegrahamvan (08/27/2006 02:13am):
this map looks really fun! i don't understand why some people say it sucks, it's actually
really clever. 10/10
Freezie (08/27/2006 01:01pm):
Interesting concept, will have a try of this
Phillbo (08/28/2006 01:22pm):
quality
DARKWING700 (08/29/2006 06:41pm):
this like a mistery map like its not clear and you dont no whos going to capture you so it
should be fine and fun

MagicJS (09/03/2006 02:33am | Edited: 09/03/2006 02:33am):
Give each player 2 more infs and 4 more missles.
Tempest79797 (09/05/2006 03:30pm | Edited: 09/10/2006 06:42pm):
My only suggestion is to clean this map up by fixing the extra space in Yellow Comet's and
Cobalt Ice's area and using minimal pipes.
jhuni (09/17/2006 08:59pm):
These type of maps are why i only play 1v1/ team games now cause even if you play
perfectly you still might not have any chance at all.
Sputnik (09/20/2006 03:19pm):
These maps are not for people with sticks up their bung holio.
thegrahamvan (09/30/2006 10:05pm):
after playing this map, i have to say that FOW doesn't really work in my opinion, and
people who have big names aren't going to be kicked off and will probably win. for
example, nyvelion was in my game and i don't think anyone even attempted to capture her
HQ, but i'm not sure because its FOW. all i know is that shes one of the last people alive

my HQ was captured very early in the game, and i wasn't a CO that would benefit me in
anyway (kindle) so i'm not sure why that would happen. anywho... this map is interesting
but its not as good as i originally thought
AdvanceBurns37 (10/06/2006 07:04pm):
sonja would own! but then people would aim to cap your base first. i would be andy cause
everyone loves andy! or jake cause people would never expect it!
Tempest79797 (10/14/2006 02:59pm):
I just realized Rachel is probably the best choice, because of her extra healing.
jhuni (10/17/2006 06:03pm | Edited: 10/29/2006 02:12pm):
It's because this map doesn't take any skill at all. Fixed.
Creepy Crawly (10/24/2006 06:14am):
no skill just luck... BUT...
it has an interesting design...
and an even more interesting idea...
Mister_D (10/26/2006 06:45pm):
> I just realized Rachel is probably the

There is no HQ of your own in your area, so cannot heal anywhere...
Doom.exe (10/29/2006 10:18am):
This map is great (very original)
voting less than a 7 makes baby jesus cry
Coyerre (10/29/2006 01:40pm):
Actually you could heal if you captured someone else's HQ, as then it would become your
city :).

This also has the added feature of when firing missiles, if it isn't the first go, you don't really
know where everyone will be so you could either fire at two people and end up missing
both or just fire at one and be safe.

Clever.
pokearno (11/06/2006 08:12pm):
NIce map, seems fun.
Hydralisk24 (11/10/2008 01:15pm):
Lol @ people taking joke map seriously in 06'
Eligitine (08/14/2009 05:47pm):
09 takes the kake.

MAEL would totaly cheat here.
