'In the Crypt of Arianna' released { Lophan }
A little CA little C&P from The Mill:After a wait too long, so much so that I don't remember when it started, "In the Crypt of Arianna" is finally complete. With it comes the Idiot Map Making Collective standard of quality in all things.The Mill staff admits they are yet to play it, but Korgath has put out some good product in the past... check it out here!This map is incredible for one person to do almost everything on, especially one who does not specialize in some ends of the mapmaking process. It has replay value on credit of its absurdity alone, but the truth is that this map is great in its own right.
The meshes are well organized, forming interesting gameplay with the terrain, the scripting in multiplayer is genuinely apart from anything myth has to offer, the new units leave the eye with a bit of a twinkle, and most of all, the solo leaves the world of myth behind with the fact that it does not operate in a straight line, nor does it let the line come to you; at every corner there is a surprise, and at every surprise there is a reward. It makes for a fun game all around.
