[MAP] STAR v1.2

[Aino]

Noxium
Uses: Destabilizing enormous hydrogen fusion reactors, known as stars.
Atom bonds: H^-₂He₂
Special property: Very unstable at high temperatures and in high pressurized areas.

The Noxium has been troubling the Growers for a while, but more recently they've discovered that one of the giant stars near their colonies, STAR, has an asteroid belt with a lot of Noxium.
Your mission is to stabilize the Noxium leaks from the asteroids, but you won't be there alone! Facing 9 other factions, all enemies of the Growers, you'll have to defeat them to allow the Growers do the rest of the job.
Your time frame is 4 hours before the star will explode!
Don't worry, the game time won't actually be 4 hours!

Win condition: Conquest

Difficulty: Hard
Game time: 30-60 min
AI Engine: Merchant AI

Features to be aware of:
Time Limit, affected by the Noxium that spawns from asteroids and the amount of asteroids you own(this affects it positively, giving you more time!)
Statistics Graph, can be accessed by holding you mouse to the left of the screen.

Earliest Version: 1.0 / 15.09.2012
Latest Version: 1.2 / 16.09.2012

Hotfix 2 for the AI and statistics:
AI won't build on asteroids that are owned by others, sometimes a tree from a different empire can destroy the AI.
Statistics for trees won't be über sized.

Hotfix for the AI, changed it back to default

Initial Release

A beautifully crafted map with spell-binding graphics- but very TOUGH! I'm not sure I'm up to the task.

The statistics pull-out menu is an especially nice feature.

Thank you Aino.

Haha, thanks for the nice comment

I did beat it, so it is possible

Many thanks Aino.
The map looks great with the way the noxium is pulled towards the giant Star.

A work of art!

Don't what happened but my game stopped at 32 min. with the message "The star has blown up and..".
I looked at the code...
Vicious seedlings!

Yes, when the fusion time reaches 0:0:0, the star has blown up and annihilates everything around, thus ending the game. So this makes two ways of ending the game

[Blomljud]

Tried again.
 I should read better... "Time devoured by Noxium"
I love this map, huge battles but it maybe to hard to beat for me.

[Aino]

It is actually very simple to beat once you know the strategy

Aino, big thanks, awesome map!
Finally a new map, already tired of waiting for new maps.
Beat it at first time, 42 min. A good balanced map, I did not seem very much difficult.
