Story

3 Weeks Previous to the event:
Professor J. Alder: If Bacteria 154 were to somehow escape the facility and threaten the village, we have given the Chief of the tribe a bomb which can temporarily weaken any creature distributing any type of radioactive gas within the radius of 1 mile.
Commanding Officer G. Berren: How effective is it?
Professor J. Alder: It should be able to reduce the creature’s defensive capabilities by a large margin, rendering its defences almost useless against any fast moving projectile weaponry.
Commanding Officer G. Berren: Satisfying enough for these uncivilised tribesmen. We have an escape plan, do we not?
Professor J. Alder: That is correct sir; we have a fast and direct escape route which should release us a few hundred yards from a secure landing zone
Commanding Officer G. Berren: Excellent
The Barbets chirped and the trees swayed as the afternoon light faded across the horizon. All the inhabitants of TawakaVillage were falling asleep to prepare themselves for tomorrow’s ancient ceremony.
Out of nowhere, a piercing shriek arose from the dirt roads entwining the village and a truck toppled over onto the tough dirt road, spilling its contents. Following this, loud banging and crashing came from the Voi Factory, which had set up away from any large form of civilisation so that the hazardous experiments would be able to be contained if an outbreak were to occur.
The residents of Tawaka awoke from their slumber, and knowing that something dire was occurring grabbed the nearest weapon they could find and formed small groups to try and reach their one last chance of salvation; The Chieftains Hut.

Intro

Giantpanda returns for his third and final map: 'Tawaka Village Version 2'. Version 2 has received some incredibly major changes from the previous version, which i still regard as lacking in many aspects. Here is a list of a few of the changes:
- Entire map (except for the chieftains hut exterior, which is very close to Version 1) has been redesigned. Some background research (google) was done on what exactly African Villages and shacks look like and the buildings are based off these pictures.
- Gametype has been improved to make it more fair for the alpha zombie.
- Weapons/equipment have been placed in every house for the humans to use.
- More advanced forging techniques have been used to improve the aesthetic features of the map and create a better overall experience.
All of these redesigns have taken me around 8 hours, plus the making time of the original which would proabably have been about 6-9 hours.

If you have any suggestions for a version 3, don't bother asking me to do it, feel free to do it yourself and post it as your own map, because honestly if you can make something better than the original creator you should be entitled to the rewards.

Suggested Players:
4 - 8

Human's Goal

The human's goal is to get inside the Chieftains Hut and locate the bomb, which is on the second floor (custom powerup). You can do this is one of two ways:
1) You can stand on top of a friends head and jump directly into the second floor and reach the bomb.
2) You can bash your way through the pallets and break into the first floor, then climb up the stairs at the back of the hut.

However for the humans to win it is not comletely necessary to collect the bomb. It would be incredibly difficult to kill the zombie by yourself, but if the humans group together into one spot and secure the area you should be able to defend yourselves well enough to either kill the zombie or survive for the 5 minute round.

The custom powerup grants the user with 125% speed, a damage increase and a few other improvements. Sitting on either side of the powerup are a Battle Rifle and Shotgun. BEFORE everyone complains about how overpowering this is, that is the whole point and it still does not make you invincible.

Zombie's Goal

As usual, the zombie's goal is to kill all the humans. The zombie starts off in the Voi Factory, which has been completely abandoned and there is debris scattered throughout the facility. After 30 seconds the front entrance doors are opened and the zombie is released into the streets. The zombie can either try to defend the hut or go after the humans, it is recommended that you pick off a few of the humans first with your 150 metre advanced motion tracking radar though. :)

Why Should You Download It?

That is the major question here, and i have a few answers. Tawaka Village is certainly an interesting map to look at, the interiors of houses have all been designed to be realistic and the same with the exteriors, feel free to copy them because i'll be far too busy playing Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise.
I have always tried to be creative when it comes to making maps, i figured; "Why create something when somebody has already done it before?" So i sat there and brainstormed, thinking of good ideas and contemplating as to how it would play out and who would enjoy it. An example of one of the new features in Tawaka Village is that a few of the residents could afford locks on their doors, and no i do not mean wire spools whihc can be pushed over the entrance, i mean a deployable cover which fits neatly over the small entrances into the houses. I will not list every single new feature, i find it much more interesting to play a map and get that 'Awesome' factor, to discover something by yourself always feels better anyway and there may or may not be a few surprises in store if you decide to actually download this map.

If you have actually read all the way down to here, congratulations, you are a very patient person. No i do not have cookies.

Pictures

I sincerely apologise for no photos. I have spent at least 4 hours trying to fix the problem and trying to use different uploaders but to no avail. I would appreciate it if you judged my map by the description and did not lock this thread because of the problem.

If anyone knows what the problem is behind the message "Upload failed for Picname.jpg with error: A network error caused your upload to fail. Please try your upload again." on Photobucket feel free to post.

Just for the record i used a fair bit of interlocking and geomerging and i am a perfectionist so rest assured it does look good.

Again i am sorry, the problem may be because i recently moved house but nevertheless, you will have to deal with it for now.
