Construction of the mausoleum of Emperor Qin commenced in 246 BCE, and eventually grew to require the labor of 700,000 conscripted workers to complete the almost 100 square kilometer necropolis city. An even more fun fact: Qin wasnt even dead when this work began. He was only 13 years old! If there is such a thing as *pre*crastination, surely getting a jump start on funeral planning for an emperor in his early teens is a signpost example. More importantly to the Community Map of the Week, Emperor Qins burial grounds contain almost 9,000 life-size terracotta figurines, destined to protect the Emperor from whatever challenges awaited him in the undiscovered country of the afterlife.
Terracotta Armies by CoconutTank has a fun twist on this story, in that you will be able to reanimate its armies using the Rescue ability on your Pioneers and Saboteurs to create a fighting forcebut your opponent will be doing the same thing! This map is utterly packed with neutral units, belonging to neither side, at the outset of the map. You each start with one Pioneer, which youll immediately send to your side of the map to begin Rescuing as many units as you can and converting them to your side.
Theres a lot of strategy at play here, obviously. Do you attempt to Rescue as many Pioneers as you can at the start of the map, risking an early rush from an opponents Flamethrower or Humvee? Do you attempt to move north or south towards the naval and aerial units to build a mobile army? Do you focus on vehicles and attempt to repair them at the Repair Stations near you? The more powerful units on each side are near the edges of the map, and since you cant pass over Neutral units, youll need to rescue every unit in the way before you can unlock the Heavy Artillery, Brutes, and Bazooka Bears that are locked up deep behind the lines.
Whatever your strategy, heres hoping it works for you on this 1v1 PVP map. For extra excitement, try playing Terracotta Armies with Fog of War activated, and maybe spice things up even more with a no attacking until turn 15 house rule. By that point, who knows what your opponent will be cooking up!
