~~Redone to work in Build 20!!~~


Deep Caves, by Lord Tim. Concept by wunderbear a.k.a. Fat Zombie.

This map is based off of this concept drawing:


From this thread:
viewtopic.php?t=2411&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=underground&start=30

The map was being built by Master Pimp, but later forgotten, and I rebuilt it with my very own completely custom sprites and code.

Description:

Two completely underground bases facing each other with lots of gold and boulders inbetween. Each base has a drop shaft which allows supplies to be dropped inside, but also allows for a fast attack from enemies, which is in turn countered by alcoves in the drop shaft for camping. Each base is 3 levels: Top, hangar. Middle, storage. Bottom, brain. The brain is heavily fortified, with the door down, and strong metal on all sides of the entire base. There is one door in front of each base to allow access.

**This map is a 2 human-player map.**
The A.I. isn't smart enough to get through the bases to the brain. Much less to get through the door. A majority of the time, they'll just fall to their deaths in the drop shafts.

Included are Deep Caves, and Deep Caves Base. The Base variety comes with the bases prebuilt, the non variety is a completely empty dirt map.

I am welcome to an constructive criticism. Please post any comments/glitches/stuff you want me to change.

Nice, I really like this map.

Who doesn't like walking on top of the dirt to be undetected by enemies?

I remember this map, this is when the rocket incident happened.

It looks purdy <3

Good job, Timmy <3

Yay, I loved this map on build 13, good job for converting it!

Looks fantastic, but if you have to play 2player I simply can't dl . I'd have to play with my little brother, god forbid.

What, you got no friends? Aw... =P
Seriously, playing 2 player with me is how two members of the forum (so far) were introduced to Cortex Command.
Invest in a 360 wired controller and it even takes the awkward keyboard out of the two-player equation.
I like this map, I like it a lot.
Who made that concept drawing? It looks like the sort of thing that'd take me 18 days of constant work to make...

Whoops, nevermind, you said already.
Lulz.

The base is too wide and the map is to thin.

I've never really trusted this map...I don't know why...

This is the only map I would even want to play 2 player on. GREAT JOB! I loved it in test build 13, I love it now!

Thank you for reviving this map. I once made a version of this map, but I forgot to release it.

OFFTOPIC: Tim, if you're taking requests, search the old scenes archive for "mountainside base scene." : Another abandoned map.




EDIT: I figured out you can only see it if you're in the corporation, sorry. Here "was" the link: http://www.datarealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=39455#39455

...What...the...HELL?!

I had no idea that an actual complete version of my map existed, build 13 or 14! I remember someone making a sort-of map that looked okay... but this is almost a direct translation! Fantastic! Thank you very much! You've made me a very happy zombie.

Downloading yesterday, for great justice and all that.

Wow..it's been out for a while...you should check the forums more...especially now people seem to take requests and complete them within a couple days now.

Well, I went on a bit of a sabbatical for a while, between build releases.

Still! Woo!

Lol, turn up the gravity and watch the AI fall. Hilarity.
