< Commander: Another remote installation on one of Neptune's moons is in peril. The station has an EMP set up along the Aliens path as a start for a defensive grid. You must finish the grid and keep the cores.
The Aliens will wander, as if dizzy, indirectly advancing towards the cores after passing through the pulse. >
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- i have found these "befuddled" maps fun to play and make, ...
so, i made another
- turning off the path arrows can be kinda cool on this map
- the "P" button toggles them on and off -
it can give the illusion of the aliens being dis-oriented or
confused after passing through the EMP
- Warning -
the 90 wave < super G challenge > could crash near the end ....
- for some reason i have not worked out yet, my computer
would crash on the last waves of this mission ......
i sent it to OCD to try and he had no problems with it,
and he tried to crash it .... so i included it anyway - the
balance should be close, but i was not able to play it to
the end to fine tune the last 2 waves ...... so ..... it might
or might not crash for you as well .....
-it is worth the try - if it doesn't work for you, the other
missions on the map will
- i or OCD have beaten all missions on the Elite setting
- all cores saved and gold medal achieved
- there could be things that i missed or didn't see ..
...... if you find something please let me know .....
< Commander: We seem to be in a bit of a jam. The Aliens have penetrated a secure area and are staging their attack. Toast the aliens and preserve the Cores. >
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- a straight forward map, not too big, nothing special happens,
it is "just another map" (JAM)
- this map has many possible path set ups and will cater to most
playing styles and strategies ....... it should entertain 🙂
- all missions have Command Shuttle options for more platforms
( if needed )
- it is possible to prevent the aliens from getting to the cores,
if you want the ultimate challenge
- this is a good map to compete for the high scores on the leaderboard
- this mission has been beaten @ the Elite setting
- all cores saved and gold medal achieved
...... if you find anything that doesn't work please let me know .....
if anyone would like to help with testing and play a map before they are
made available to others ...... send me a friend request on steam
< Commander: Some of the Aliens have developed anti-grav capabilities. They can fly! Don't be distracted by the ground attack, or they will swoop in and steal the cores! >
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- i wanted to try a map with fliers and an aerial assault, the result
was quite satisfying ......... but ..... it turned out to be a
lot of work ...... as i have not done this before .... i had no
scripts to adapt or edit and had to start from scratch ....
- my lack of experience with flying aliens and the dynamics involved,
made this difficult to balance and get right ....
the one mission resulted in mega hours of editing and re-editing
- i have been reluctant to tackle this map again with another mission,
due to the time needed and it has sat for quite a while
- since the completed mission was fun and challenging, i am releasing
it as is ...... maybe if i get enough encouragement i will find it
worth the time to add another mission or two ....
- a warning, the map might be a bit awkward, at first, to maneuver
- i would like to thank Everglades and OCD for testing this for me ?
... (over 1/2 year ago)
- this mission has been beaten @ the Elite setting
- all cores saved and gold medal achieved
...... if you find anything that doesn't work please let me know .....
< Commander: Do your best. High Command has not received any blueprints or data regarding this remote outpost. You will be going in cold, and on your own. We suspect it hides smuggling and black market activities, so you will have a secondary mission. Relay back to HQ as much data as you can regarding the lay-out and infra-structure of the installation. We will probably be launching a policing action there in the future.>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- there are now 2 versions of this map, the only difference is the brightness ........ stats and medals are not affected
- no transforms or command shuttle options
- this map might be overwhelming at first .... take advantage of
the extra time at the start to place boosts and explore the path
options ... then restart ( if needed ) once you have it figured out
- there is many path options available but it will take time
to find the path that works best for you
- i have beaten all missions @ the Elite setting - all cores
saved and gold medal achieved
- since i have not found a player to test these maps before i put
them out, there will be things that i miss or don't see ....
...... if you find something please let me know .....
< Commander: Discombobulated! That is what happens to the aliens after they pass through an ionized pulse. The Engineers have installed two smaller pulse generators and a much larger one at key access points to the main floor of the facility. The Aliens will wander, as if dizzy, indirectly advancing towards the cores. >
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- in order to fully experience this map as it was intended
... please turn the path arrows off
- the "P" button toggles them on and off -
this will give the aliens the illusion of being
dis-oriented or confused (if you have an active imagination)
- the super X grinder will challenge you .... there will be
waves when cores walk .... Zacara can be very useful to save
the day keep the cores from being stolen.
- i have beaten all missions on the Elite setting -
all cores saved and gold medal achieved
- since i have not found a player to test these maps before i
put them up, there could be things that i missed or didn't see ..
...... if you find something please let me know .....
< Commander: Do your best. Blast the blighters to oblivion! >
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- wysiwyg - what you see is what you get
- no transforms or command shuttle options
- but there is many path options available
- the grinder will challenge
- i have beaten all missions @ the Elite setting - all cores
saved and gold medal achieved
- since i have not found a player to test these maps before i put

< Commander: The Museum of Ancient Combat Equipment is being threatened and requires your prompt attention. The M.A.C.E. preserves the history of defence and displays examples of ancient weapons of defence. >
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- wysiwyg - what you see is what you get
- the super grinder has the extra challenge of no long distance
weapons: no meteors or missiles
- there is only a few missions available, this is essentially a
long and grinding path ...... the main difference between the
missions is that as they get more waves they get harder and need
more of the map for towers ..... the super X grinder will have
the map filled with towers by the end
- i have beaten all missions @ the Elite setting - all cores
saved and gold medals achieved
- since i have not found a player to test these maps before i put
them out, there will be things that i miss or don't see ....
...... if you find something please let me know .....
< Commander: The Aliens are attempting to break the BattleAxe! The station was designed to be a military memorial. A tribute to the old days when soldiers actually engaged in physical combat with the enemy. >
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- there are no surprises, transforms or changes to the map - wysiwyg
- an entertaining, fun, blast fest! ... ( i hope )
- i have beaten all missions @ the Elite setting - all cores saved
and gold medal achieved
- since i have not found a player to test these maps before i put
them out, there will be things that i miss or don't see ....
...... if you find something please let me know .....
< Commander: Station CM128 is now under attack! The Aliens have been making a concerted effort to obtain the new moveable core technology. This station houses 2 manufacturing units and the core housing will move between them. >
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- more moveable cores ..... this one is a little easier - 2 core locations
- cores will move every 5 or 10 waves depending on the mission
- i have beaten all missions @ the Elite setting - all cores saved
and gold medal achieved
- there is a v2 of this map .... that has a fix for a possible path conflict that
exists in the first version
- since i have not found a player to test these maps before i put
them out, there could be things that i missed or didn't see ....
...... if you find something please let me know .....
< Commander: The moveable core technology is turning out to be a lightning rod for the aliens. Station CM127 is now being threatened. The outpost has three manufacturing stations that are powered from the single core housing. >
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- another moveable cores map ..... this one is a little easier to manage
.... i think i have the concept more refined .... maybe
- cores will move every 5 waves between the 3 locations
- all missions have a Command Shuttle option
- the grinder will keep you on your toes!
- i have beaten all missions @ the Elite setting - all cores saved
and gold medal achieved
- since i have not found a player to test these maps before i put
them out, there could be things that i missed or didn't see ....
...... if you find something please let me know .....
