Here, we have an absolute stunner from eganic. Mapping at its finest. You cannot expect to merely play this map like it is any other. In order to get all the gold, you have to outsmart the map. You must find a way to breach its defences and take the gold from it. This is not a highscorer, for the time reward of the gold is not what matters. This is a lesson from eganic about how tiles, rockets and gold can interact superbly to mould the gameplay, and force you to make critical decisions.
The title says it all.

Expert mapmaking at its finest
This is a map that was crafted with care, I couldn't think of a more fitting name... all the sudden the maps I've done seem like child's sketches compared to this. It also looks terrific.

AGD
We do ska, but most of us have been drifting away.
For the map, I liked it, but I didn't see the "ooh ahh" factor all of you see. To me, it seems just like one of those eventful action maps that nobody sees anymore. Love playing with the rockets on this.

That´s a loong time ago
I started to play N in 2004, a friend told me that he plays the game. For the first time, I played N at informatics. My friend laughed at me, because I really sucked at it and he was like 100x better than me. Today, I´m like 200x better than him. But both of us still play the game.
Oh yeah, and "he" is xaelar...
No, no just joking :D
Btw, I need an avatar, do you guys have an idea?

ok, thanks for clearing that up...
btw, when /did/ you start highscoring, approximately; I think that'd be a much more notable achievement to have on your profile =)
Also, warm welcome to Numa and the forums!

And
I am German.
But I´m Not a DJ, I just realized that there´s a DJ with the name "Fdaniel", and I thought "Hey, that´s cool". :D

weird...
his profile says he only begun highscoring in 2009 O_o
I'm confused! He's also German and a DJ!

AGD.
this is much better than i thought it would be. remm is absolutely right too, you must try for an AGD to fully enjoy this. you can tell a ton of work went into making this map.

Yes palemoon
that's actually how we talk in New Zealand.

Fdan has been highscoring for years.
Probably even longer than me. Nhigh seems to indicate that he had over 30 highscores by January, 2006; and that is far as my NHigh records go...
2011-10-17
@aerodynamic
I desided to highscore on real time now, too (:
2011-10-17
oh, it's Fdan!
The underclock guy! Eventually I'll take back the 100-0 0th, that's the only one I sort of want :P The route improvisation on that map helped me to get a *0th on 100-0 in highscores mode haha.

@Nexx
You have to try for an AGD. Try for a fast one. You will find that the gold is placed so expertly with the rockets, that the tiles really work against you in some places. Finding a fast route is tough.
That gold next to you at the start, for example. You go for that, and the one gold up the top immediately becomes a lot harder to get. The one in the middle you have to pass by often, because you're going too fast to go through the hole. Things like that.
and flag, I'm probably nominating this for action map and innovative use of objects/tiles.

I am absolutely blown away by this map
It's just...incredible. How the layout of the gold interacting with the rocket positions directs the flow of the map. Just wow. I mean, that one gold next to you at the start, changes everything if you decide to go for it.
Probably gonna feature this.
