An entire column by ska containing 14 new maps and many remastered classics for N 1.4!

Credits:
Compiled and playtested with the generous help of:
Life247 who spent over a dozen hours playtesting, critiquing and refining my maps.
Additional playtesting and selection by Tunco123.
Dedicated to vankusss, the new star highscorer of 2010.
Episode 6 is a collaborative episode, with help from BuddyLee, ChrisE, genteka, stepself and fireburnsfree.
Post your demos on the Medieval Myriads thread,
the first player to complete the pack and submit data for completing all levels will receive a special prize.
Special thanks to EddyMataGallos for noticing i put a couple levels twice in the 1.1 version. This has now been rectified.
Also, congratulations to EddyMataGallos for being the first player to complete the pack in its entirity.
The signature image was made by me in case you were wondering...
Congratulations also to Izzy for being the first player to AGD all of my maps.

Thank you very much for finding that. It's now been fixed and I've added you into the credits! If anyone else finds a problem, such as a NaN, double mine, drones going under gold etc, please let me know =)

No problem :) An also... yes!, i've just beaten your column ska! (with the corrected levels of course).
And why have i efforted so much to do it quickly?, because if i win the sig, it'll be the first sig/prize that I won!
But dont worry, i'll highscore them in my computer to have more fun and continue enjoying them :)
Oh, and also, i dont speak english very well, so anything i write that you dont understand or something, dont worry xD
So here you are men :)

Important note: I've had a lot of trouble with the demos, because sometimes, when i copied the demos to see them, the levels became corrupted and the demos broken, but then it corrected itself! Well, what i want to say is that when you check my demos, if you find some levels or demos corrupted or broken, repeated levels,... etc, tell me and i'll recopy them and repost them :)

Oh, and great levels dude :)

Nice work, I've verified all your runs as complete! Your 6-0 data didn't work initially, but then i separated the map and demo data and I got it working... and with your episode 9 run, if you actually played those levels in episodic format you would have been within 5-6 seconds of running out of time, but would have got enough gold in the final level just in the nick of time ;)
I've added your name into the text file - i'll get your prize asap.
by the way, your english is quite good - where are you from?

Wow. This is fucking awesome. Definitely in the top 3 map packs I've ever played.

Because I <3ed this so much, I took the pleasure of AGDing every single map (or APGDing, if you count that map with the gold behind the 5-tile).

Unless lord_day's new column comes soon and is better than his last, this is getting my vote for Map Pack of the Year.

i played some maps there, here are my runs from random ones (i guess they are all faster than izzy's), i'm posting only runs i'm satisfied with:


(agd-1, the last gold is surely possible)



(the ending should be faster but w/e)


(not really good run)



(just because of that cj :P)









the comments are for the runs below them
hmm i actually didn't make many runs, hmm
i have a lot of cool routes in mind, but i failed at execution (there is just no motivation or competition that would push me doing them)

I forgot that I downloaded this. Well done, I played about 20 maps and they were the bombs. Heavy 4.5

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback..
Edit: Here are some agd runs, they either beat van's runs or they are updated runs for newer maps and or versions since van's runs were from an old version... van: make sure you download the latest map pack version to compete...

I was supposed to do this like two years ago, but better late than even later.
  • 00-0 Slimy Characters >> The Metanetty tiles are great. Good opener.
  • 00-1 Klobblet >> I don't think I ever figured out how to get that top gold. :/
  • 00-2 Just Like Clockwork >> I made a version of this map which I liked a lot more. Too bad I lost it.
  • 00-3 Mr Mechanical >> A highscoring map, at the very least. Got better with time.
  • 00-4 Czecherville >> I'm pretty proud of the edits I made to this one. Really nice flow.
  • 01-0 King Arthur's Court >> I'll probably feature this one on NUMA someday. <3
  • 01-1 Shimmer and Bleed >> The structure of this level is also fantastic, but the objects were a bit much.
  • 01-2 Chandelier >> I like this version much more than the one on NUMA.
  • 01-3 Rows Devoid of Meaning >> A bit boring really. Also I doubled some of the mines, oops.
  • 01-4 Grenada >> Wow, I fucked up the top gold too. :( I didn't playtest this pack very thoroughly.
  • 02-0 Snakey >> Hmm, I don't like backtracking maps like this one.
  • 02-1 Flags Aflame >> The lower drone needs to start a tile or two higher, but otherwise it's a really nice map.
  • 02-2 Fire Flower >> The top section was not refined enough. It was more difficult to get the gold than it needed to be.
  • 02-3 The Great Pumpkin Infiltration >> You (and I) went a bit overboard on the enemies. And it's linear.
  • 02-4 Unforgivable >> Waay too much gold, but really fun.
  • 03-0 A State of Trance >> So much harder than I remember it to be. A bit contrived as well.
  • 03-1 Perfect Darkness >> I don't like this. Not fun at all.
  • 03-2 Microwave Dinners >> Almost felt maximo-ish. I couldn't find the route.
  • 03-3 Aerial Fortress >> The design was great, and I enjoyed highscoring it. Just wish it was a bit easier.
  • 03-4 Pearl Mountain Station >> The left side wasn't as good as it could be.
  • 04-0 A Crow Left the Murder >> I liked the title more than I liked the map. The enemies clashed.
  • 04-1 Faction E-4 >> Also one of my favorites. Userlevel'd.
  • 04-2 Cobblestones >> Nothing against you, ska. But this type of map has been overdone for the past three years.
  • 04-3 The Nimble Locksmith (Redux) >> That is the worst gauss ever. Ever.
  • 04-4 Love Channels >> Played on NUMA. Very nice map.
  • 05-0 cloud City 27 >> Whoo! Metanet-esque to the max. But this was really linear.
  • 05-1 Shattered Work Print >> atob would be proud.
  • 05-2 Carbon Monoxide >> I didn't like the race aspects of it.
  • 05-3 The Old Crank >> The outside was horrible in comparison to the inside.
  • 05-4 Ting, Or a Hero Amongst Villains >> Not to give myself more credit than I deserve, but wasn't I the one who came up with the name?
  • 06-0 Immutability (ska remix) >> I really liked the flow for this one.
  • 06-1 Modern Tech Facility (feat. ChrisE) >> I think I've only beat this once. Sooo hard.
  • 06-2 bLADE gRinder (feat. ganteka) >> The doubled-up bounceblocks /might/ be my fault, but I won't take the blame for them.
  • 06-3 Through The Loop (feat. stepself) >> Played on NUMA. Nice edits.
  • 06-4 Know Your Enemy Redux (feat. Life247) >> What's funny is that I hated this version of Know Your Enemy, but I didn't finish the remix I subbed to NUMA until a few weeks after the pack was released. My remix is much better, just sayin'.
  • 07-0 Gumby >> What a strange map. Strange but good.
  • 07-1 Vinyl Spritzer >> <3 I'm glad you didn't keep the edits I made. This is a perfect map.
  • 07-2 Electric Shock Therapy >> Not refined enough for me.
  • 07-3 Negotiate This! >> Damn you ska, stop making such precise fucking maps.
  • 07-4 26's >> How could I have playtested maps which I can't even complete now?
  • 08-0 Apocalypsis >> Quaint little map. A bit boring though.
  • 08-1 Getting There (Is Half the Fun) >> I remember this map. It doesn't help me appreciate back and forths, though.
  • 08-2 IS MISSING >> Heheh, my bad.
  • 08-3 Divertido (Redux) >> Hated it then, hate it now.
  • 08-4 Static Attraction II >> Awful map.
  • 09-0 wth (ska mix) >> Soooo good.
  • 09-1 Verily, I Say To Thee >> Okay, I definitely named this one. Didn't like it though.
  • 09-2 Jaws of Life (or Death) >> Goddamn it ska. Why are your maps so hard.
  • 09-3 Disorientation >> Nope, not happening.
  • 09-4 Peace of Mind >> Skipped. I think this was on NUMA.
