Hi Sharni,
Thanks for letting me know about the victory/defeat text thing. I'll get it
changed.
Lol, I am glad to meet you! I am also a Christian.
Stomping and rampageing in a video game is cathartic, at oleast to me. Lol.
I do sometimes wish I could come up with a Christian map pack idea, but
nothing really comes to mind.
I have to admit, map 2 is a lot better with the extra buildongs, that was a
good call.

Yay, I finally beat that map! It was a lot of fun, but I noticed something
odd. Before I downloaded the update, I lost, but the defeat text sounded as
if the monster survived. When I beat the map just now, the reverse was true.
I'll switch the victory/defeat text flags around in my copy of the map, as
it hardly seems worth downloading a 67mb file again just for a tiny fix like
that, but I thought you should know so when you add more significant
updates, you can make that tweak as well. :)
Love your maps, Allan! (I should not be enjoying this...I am a Christian...
I should not be enjoying running around destroying houses and eating
people...)

Hey,
Added two upgrades. 1 for each giant type.
For monsters it is defense upgrade fast metabolism.
For Robots it is nanite repair protocol.
2nd gen giants pay 5 upgrade. The others have it available in the unit's
item list. It has no slot, just activate it. It restores 5 thru 25 health
per round.
The second map now has people generating buildings. I have to admit, it
makes the map a little more fun.
I added the largest giants to the training arena. Mostly this is for anyone
who just wants to play around with giants and see how things work.
I placed the link below. Hope everyone likes the additions.

So like the subject line says, I downloaded the latest version of Rampage a
few days ago, mostly because I'd seen it mentioned quite a few times and
wanted to know what the big deal was. And it was an Allan Thompson map, and
his are always good.
Well, I think all the intros/victory/defeat messages are things I only want
to hear once, if ever. The one at the end of that first map gave me the
shivers and I'm still wondering if this one will end up like the Oneshot
Wonders and just sit there in my map-packs folder never getting played
because it creeps me out. Or I could just keep trying...
A problem I'm having is with the next two maps. You get one monster. One.
and then there are these stupid jets that drop bombs on you and remove
effects doesn't always work and even when it does, that's whole patches of
map that are radiated. And if you can't remove effects, you're basically
screwed because radiation sickness takes massive chunks out of your health
and everything that can summon aircraft takes far too long to die... and
that's not even accounting for other things attacking you. And in the
"Monster from the Deep" map there just aren't enough people to eat and get
health back from. I almost wish you could have a regeneration skill. I'm
used to Monkey's maps where chars regenerate, and even incorporated that
into my own personal map pack which I'm still not sure I'll release to the
public. As it is, I don't know how to beat the second map with just the
ordinary monster, or even the mutants, as they don't have remove effects by
default.... I can grab the jets, and have done many times, but by the time
they're there to be grabbed, they've already neuc'ed me.
Does anyone have any tips? I'd appreciate them...
