The first level of an original campaign remake I started years ago, but never finished. This map has been sitting there unreleased for quite a long time, waiting on the other maps in the campaign, but at the glacial pace that I work, it would probably decay on the harddrive before ever seeing the face of public scrutiny. So better to release one map at a time than to never release at all.
As it was a remake of Eversmile, there isn't too much going on. A few beefed up tunnel parties and a lord of the land, just like in the original level. Should be a relaxed, go-at-your-own-pace experience.
Installation Instructions
Chuck it in the ute, mate. Or the Standard folder.
I really enjoyed this map but found it very difficult right a the beginning. It took me several attempts until I had a minion composition that was able to withstand the initial attack sequence. The difficulty for the remaining part wasn't as drastic but not knowing where to go next added up to the challenge.
Nevertheless, I had fun playing this map and remembered once more that the spider can be a surprisingly good creature if micro managed.
Rating: 4/5 - very good map and interesting game play without putting the player through too crazy stuff |
Difficulty: 4/5 - Very challenging at the beginning but becoming more and more relaxed later on.
Quite the original level here, being stuck with lvl 4 creatures (kind of, battle XP still works) and very short on gold until you find the workshop.
You'll need to micro your spiders a lot to progress. Don't count on beetles or flies to do anything useful. Flies will even sabotage you at the first opportunity. Finding secrets brings a lot of quality of life or fire power.
I didn't clear the map, but I did kill the Avatar.
5/5
3/5 difficulty. The beginning can be quite hard depending on what you get through the portal and how quick you are at building your dungeon. Possession fighting is a must for some parts, too. Especially once you get a dark mistress.

This was good map, but maybe too heavy restrictions with leveling creatures. I liked the lore messages.
