I have been enroled in the .xs college of nottud and the shady .xs after dark tutorage of Zenophobia. From this unholy melding of our greatest scripters, a new horror is born which they have had to debug and atone for. Yes, I step into the world of rms!
So I decided to revisit a highly successful map, but sadly one that can frequently bug out. The power of RMS allows random terrain skins, easier custom functions and copy/pasting. But dynamic map size per player is the real trick that cannot be done in .scx. The real headache in RM come when you are trying to define units or even camera cuts that don't exist as the map isn't even built yet. The solution is databases and assigning QVs to each unit name. Once you get the hang of it - it becomes a similar .scx problem of how can I possibly damage units in area for a unit that hasn't been created yet. For no adequately explored reason, change name simply doesn't work - but there are workarounds and is alright for a map such as this.
Featuring: ⭐Four different terrain 'skins' for the map, chosen at random. Each have their own set of units and powers. ⭐Also base random units and powers. ⭐The first random map script to feature floating buildings ⭐The sexy new custom firebomb power ⭐Extensive testing for pathing bugs ⭐Stalemate mechanic - creeps with get incrementally stronger ⭐The choice of standard mode or 'life mode' - where lives lost = unit hp ⭐The grand Yeebaatower at the end of the road slowly sinks into the ground as you lose lives
Just a few finishing touches left to go!

It's a very good map (because I helped :P). I still think there's too much stuff in the shop though.
