– Authors Map Description –

< Commanders: Fiscal funding is running out and High Command has not had enough funds allocated so far to remain functional for the coming year. We have been doing more and more with less and less ….. hopefully the financial concerns will quickly be resolved and we can renew our focus on our mandate – to defend the cores! >

< Commander : The facility on the toroidal asteroid of Crystaline has detected several incoming alien ships. Haste is needed to arrive before the enemy vanguard. >

It is that time of year again where the money for this site to exist for another year is desperately needed. The maps are free ….. the web site’s existence is not! Commanders it is up to us to keep this site going.

The v2 zip file above has the correct settings for the super grinder’s gold, silver and bronze.

I have tried to make this map so it has something for everybody ( to encourage donations ) – as a result:
– Elite deserves it’s name and easy is a fun frag fest ( normal and hard filling the gap )
– it has a tricky brain teaser puzzle-like mode
– and both shorter and longer games
– this map has extra modes included: a ‘story LB challenge’ and a ‘super G challenge’
– the story LB challenge is 15 short fast waves with few resources ( aprox 30 mins )
– the super G challenge is 90 large and long waves ( aprox 3 hours )

– it has been beaten on Open Elite – gold achieved and all cores retained

– thank you to "AceOpticsAU" ( aka ACE® ) for his ‘elite’ testing

This is an interesting map.
The story LB challenge Elite is a tough nut to crack. I almost beat it, but needed to use the orbital weapon to not lose cores.
Thanks for another great map. 🙂

And done.
Thanks, I like the long serpentine pathing, and that you are forced to use some long range weapons.
Probably I will not play the super G challenge. 🙂

Finally an idea for another map with long pathing:
What about having very short paths from the entries to the core housing, so that there is no chance to destroy the aliens before they reach them.
The paths to the exits must be long, so that the main goal is to bring the cores back again and again…
