Aditional Information
---------------------
This is the second map i've made, the first map (Burning Woods v4.0)
was made a year ago and I felt the need to make another one.
Some games lie on the shelf and after a while you play
them again, and again, those are the best games.
Total Annihilation is one of them, it's always nice to play
again after a while.
But we all need new things to get our attention, so that's
why I made this second map.

This time I tested several days, I didn't made the mistake
like with the first map to send it after it was made...
A very special THANKYOU goes to my Beta-tester and friend Kamiel vdv,
we play a lot toghetter and having fun is what life should be... ;-)
Keep on playing, buddy..hehe

The map
-------
Big again, metal again (no need to search for, you even can
extract from the green).
When you compare the first and the second map i've made you will see
what I like on a map; big bases to defend or to attack from, lots of space
to send dozens of troops on war, much landscape to explore and also a good
map for airfighters...

5 Bases, 4 in the corners and one in the center.
(In the center one you can picnic ;-)
I put the 1st and second startposition below in the corners
of the map because it's better for multiplayer, you and your
friend against two AI's coming from above...
In Skirmish mode select 4 AI's and ally them all toghetter, the map
is big enough to do this, but don't get lazy !

I like to play with that bunch of extra units from TAUIP,
it's a package of about 200 extra units and in combination with a better AI
like the Bloodthirsty or Nuker you enjoy this map like we do :)
Without them you play this map for 4 or 5 days till someone gets hurt..hehe..
When giving the AI time to make a big base,
hours of gameplay are guaranteed, don't rush, HE will :)
Also a good map for airplane wars.

Those AI's and other usefull stuff can be downloaded at TAMEC
(Total Annihilation Map Evaluation Center URL: Http://www.tamec.org ).
If you need any good map, this is the best site to look for!
(Nope i've not been payed to tell this...YET :-)
