I designed this one, Basic just compiled it. Its not that great a map though, too dark. Rather pretty though. And yeah, the unpassable side mountains are no good when you have spiders/jumpers.

Nope.

Probably "too dark" like Sak said. Still nice tho, should be featured and brightened if needed.

A bigger version of this map could be good. Currently it is quite easy to build loads of statics on either side of the hole in the middle and stop most raiders coming through.

I take it back! Didn't realize some clown decided to put all the metal in the map center and 2x output metalspots in unreachable locations.

Restricted access to side mexes is something that is relatively unique to this map and can provoke different than normal factory choices. Non-lethal middle further justifies those factories. I kind of like it this way.

The middle looks lethal, though.

Jumpies jump, spiders spid crawl!

Jumping has a cooldown, lets units dodge projectiles and allows jumping over water/buildings/etc.

Crawling is slow, but allows units to stick to walls which depending on the map opens up many different tactical possibilities, like being very hard to reach for many weapons. Try moving spiders over the northern wall of the dam on FolsomDam. Chances are enemies wont even see your units, let alone getting anything to shoot you.
