Thanks for posting these!

No problem! I'v uploaded a new map and there are more in the works. I'm hoping to have a more realistic AI that constructs bases once the building spawn bug is fixed.

There seems to be a problem with the 'Upload new version' feature; I got the following bug whenever i tried to submit a new version:

I had to delete the file, upload and then manually get my download numbers back to where they were...

I will take a look.

By the way, your download numbers are actually higher, because the count on this page doesn't represent downloads from the iphone itself. I will look into adding the iphone downloads into the stats.

What do the numbers before each map mean?

[Callex]

The number of AI players. It's just a habit I've picked up from the good old days of wc3 mapping

(2)Skirmish – Bottleneck
o Good easy level
(2)Skirmish – River Crossing
o More challenging than Bottleneck (good)
(3)Skirmish – King Of The Hill
o More challenging than River Crossing (good), nice map
(3)Skirmish – Meeting Point
o Good level, can't think of anything I'd change
(4)Skirmish – Doubles
o OMNI (my partner) failed to keep up and quickly becaome dormant
o Cool having to balance forces between the two enemies
(4)Skirmish – Forts
o Great level, really challenging
o All AIs came after me, not really fighting each other, but that's OK
(4)Skirmish – Warrens
o Interesting
o Seems like the AIs are too slow. Maybe they need a leg up.
