Current Rating:
Good.....
As reviewed by Emperor Dracula.
Graphics:
Looks very wet.....
Hundreds of small islands are thrown about all over. The large island in the middle has a neat looking shallows area. "Face Free" as usual.
Mechanics:
Core Contingency required.....
Everything works very smooth. All areas of the map can be accessed. The AI is fully functional. Copy the map file into the main game directory.
Gameplay:
Build land defenses.....
If you decide to take the offensive, nothing beats some heavy land based guns to take out those battleships. Keep in mind the center island is ringed with thermal vents. This is an island worth your consideration. Also, the center of the island has a very shallow layer of water on it. Too deep to build in, yet shallow enough for land units. I've always preferred large swarms of ships on water maps, but all the little islands could impede them. Don't forget about air power here either.
Overall:
An little known map.....
Very few people have ever seen the first version of this. So download it and see what you missed! Admittedly naval warfare is something very few TA fans are into. But give it a try on one of my "Epic Class" maps, and it's a whole new experiance.
Story:
Once upon a time.....
It has been discovered that a major series of thermal venting exsists under a huge sunken island on Thalassean. To futher power the war effort on this planet you must capture it. Then we can dig below the surface to access hundreds of vents. This has the potential to power over a thousand remote search and destroy squads. Do not fail us. This could push us over the edge to final victory on this world.
