First try at a map
« on: November 24, 2009, 06:51:42 AM »
Inspired by cinemabaroque I tried to change the behavior of the AI using scripting. It's kind of spastic sometimes, but generally I get it to concentrate most of its forces towards the frontier.
The map layout is kind of uninteresting. Started out as a try at the tower defense idea someone mentioned here on the forum.

I haven't beaten the current version, though I haven't tried that many times yet. Please do comment on it.

Enjoyable level and a little different.  Pretty tough start to the level, but once you get enough seedlings again its a walk in the park.  Getting the first few astroids is tough, still though got it first go.

I just realized how to exploit the AI's behaviour, managed to breeze through the map in no time at all. :)
Might be able to modify it so it won't be as vulnerable, will try...

Thanks, njursten!

At first I was a bit disappointed because of the seemingly simple layout of asteroids, but when the first waves of attacks began I was quite challenged; then I learnt how to develop seedlings & laser mines on the roids “back home” while sending them to the front line all the time.

Good training level for beginners, IMHO.
