I have deleted all of the old posts relating to the original map, so that the discussions from now on will be appropriate to the new version.

Even though there is a map here, it doesn't say that it has a map in the Battlez index and clicking to my levels results in a message saying the thread is now avaliable.

Zazor made some changes to this Battle back in July but never published an updated version on the forum. I think it's about time to do so. We also finally have a statz page for this map.

The only changes are replacing the curse in the middle with a different one and adding items under the Giant Dice.

About the map itself, it's a more defensively oriented one, as there are only two small bridges which allow you to enter the forts and zap cola is plentiful. There are many Rolling Ballz, which make moving around with large groups of Gruntz difficult (basically impossible for the AI), especially between the western and eastern halves of the map. Powerups are rather easy to access but don't respawn while the curse requires you to obtain a pair of wings first but can be devastating if used correctly.

I have all three files SAVEd to my hard drive, and will work on getting the Announcement and affected indices updated after dinner tonight. (Several church and wife-related activities today that take precedence.)

Edit: I forgot about the total lunar eclipse, and made several trips outdoors to view the progress. And forgot about this task.

I see you somehow reverted the previous edits to the first post before adding the statz page, as the unnecessary lines from Questz Announcement Template are back. And I thought I was going crazy for thinking I've changed something while it later returned back to normal!

How does this happen? This is not the first time a thread returns to a previous version after your edit.

I make a copy of the Announcement both on my hard drive and on the web site. I made the Statz Page and other changes on my computer, and did not check to see that someone had changed the Forum file. I should have used the Forum Announcement to update my hard drive before making changes.

Ah, now it makes sense. I was wondering whether there is a forum function to undo changes but I couldn't find one.

I've spent hours playing the game recently and with that I've been editing dozens of threads (more Questz than Battlez), mostly fixing broken links and size ratings on completed maps. There also were at least 2 instances of statz info numbers not adding up to what is on the statz page image and some broken tables. So please be aware that many files on your hard drive will become, or already are, outdated.
