Gametoast World Domination: Asia

GameToast, so I thought "Yipee! I've been waiting for this!". I remember watching progress for this before it was complete. I never thought that, if it was sent to SWBF files, I would get to review it. That was, of course, before I was staff...but enough of the memories and my past. Onto the file! So, what we have here is a desert battlefield in Asia, which I believe to be the Gobe desert. I could be wrong, but that's the only major one that I can think of. When I checked the teams, as I expected, either Heroes or Villains were GT members who'd requested to be added before the map got too full. I tried villains first, and for some reason, as with all hero assault maps, I got my butt kicked because I wasn't used to the map yet, and didn't have a good way to take out enemies rapidly. That changed, of course, but too late in the game, and we lost. Then I switched to heroes, which always wins if you're on it. This time, I got to see the little village (yes, there's a village) beside the default selected CP for heroes. There was a very steady stream of hostile locals flowing out of there, and I spent most of my time on heroes mowing them down with ease. Yep, even a bar and a TV set feature here...did I mention Guru and a tall-looking Elmo run around hyere, too? Now on to the bugs. I didn't notice too many errors, and this map seemed pretty bug free for where I was, but... 1. I don't know if it is fixable, but when I tossed Phazon's tri-grenade thing at a sitting camel (yes, but not ridable...) I saw that the blue grenades caused a red glow on the camel. 2. One of the unit's jetpacks is too slow and is almost useless. 3. This may tie in with bug 2. I spotted, at one of the villain CPs, jet trooper-based units who seemed to be going nowhere. This might just be because their jetpacks don't have any horizontal thrust. Besides that, I didn't see anything else incorrect with this map. Give it a download if this sounds nice or if the screenshots entice your appetite.
I don't know if it's just me, but we seem to be getting a lot more maps with special hero assault. This one is one of those. Yesterday, I found this file in the inbox. I'd yet to download it at
