Description

The map is a very small 2v2 melee map (110 x 104 playable), it's focused on tactics spiced up with lava surges.


Future Plans

  • Prevent the AI from committing suicide.
        <font color="#444444">By either sending all troops into the lava or building on lowgrounds.</font>
  • Improve the lava damage system.
        <font color="#444444">Make it a bit more dynamic.</font>
  • Create surrounding terrain & doodads.
        <font color="#444444">The surrounding terrain is a bit... dry.</font>
  • Get some more performance in the map.
