Hi Shaun,
Yes, it was a real bear to make. I understand what you are talking about and no
worries.
That is my initial goal, that the player with the right amount of gold gets
tot he exit of the dungeon, before wandering monsters and other players can
ambush them and stop it. I don't recommend playing the multiplayer map by
oneself, for the player two units are highly organized and motivated to fight
the big bad guys first before handling monsters in their cells whichI thought
was strange, but it is what it is.
I fear I am going to experience memory problems with this map too due to it's
size, but in the end, I wanted input on it. If people thinks it sucks, then I
won't bother with it anymore, know what I mean? Just trying to figure out where
to divert my energies.

wow this is a vary complex map.
After struggling in the swamps all day yesterday and
having issues I am going away from audiogames for now but I will be
back.I will definately enjoy this thing, I wander what its single
player mode wuld be like.
I think the end game should be when you finnish exploring the dungeon
and come out
obviously with gold, if you didn't have any but then you would be
able to find it so.
