This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
1. General Info
This map is based on the classic Kodo Tag 2.2 by Tiny Tauren & GaMeR[RuS], and expands on it with unique changes and a Pandaren twist. It retains the core Kodo Tag gameplay while introducing new elements for a more varied and challenging experience.
The objective is to survive for 35 minutes by protecting your Panda Runner from a demonic onslaught. If your runner is caught, teammates can rescue you and will receive a small reward for doing so.
The map is designed for multiplayer but can also be played solo. Starting alone will automatically activate a dedicated single-player mode with adjusted features. Playing solo is harder but offers a unique and rewarding challenge.
Panda Tag delivers a tougher, more strategic experience than classic Kodo Tag. Victory requires smart building, efficient resource use, and well-timed upgrades to withstand the growing demonic threat.
2. Map info and Features
Panda Tag is a more challenging and strategic take on the classic Kodo Tag formula. Instead of escaping kodos, players must survive a relentless demonic invasion. The map features smarter enemy behavior, varied attack angles, and a heavier focus on base defense and resource management.

Key Features
- Higher Difficulty: Tougher than standard Kodo Tag—new players may need several attempts, even on easier settings.
- No Mazing: Mazing doesn't work—focus on building and fortifying your base.
- Resource Management: Efficient economy is crucial. Lumber is essential for upgrades, while gold is required for nearly everything, including units and structures.
- Upkeep System: Food cap is 125. Manage unit production wisely to avoid penalties.
- Research-Driven: The blacksmith provides essential upgrades—research is vital for survival.
- Upgradeable Defenses: Most towers can be upgraded multiple times for stronger late-game defense.
- Scaling Difficulty: The longer you survive, the harder it gets—prepare early to withstand the late-game assault.

I highly suggest you re design the description, right now it's lack luster, plain and confusing (there are map tips as well as features bunched up)
Instead of making single player a code thing, I suggest using a trigger that detects when there's only one "user" player on the map.

These will help make a better description:
Screenshots could attract more players to download your work. Make the best of them.
A credits list is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated.
A changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.

Simply too hard. I don't know how you tested this, but in a multiplayer game it's impossible. Demons have too high attack damage and rate, too much health. In contrast walls suck.

Thank you again Paillan for your feedback. I have now updated the description and edited the map to include the things you requested to be changed.
I will also provide more and better screenshots when I have the spare time.
In terms of difficulty I want the map to be hard, but not impossible. I dont want the map to get dull during the mid and end game. I basically want to keep the tension going thought-out the entire game. I have done some changes in terms of the number of demons spawning when you are playing as few people. I have also included tips that emphasizes the necessity of researching to stay alive.
Furthermore, I have added a Single Player warning that states that its easier to play with other people.
May I ask how many people you played with or did you test it alone?

we tested with 3 people, we died almost instant. Demons simply shredded walls, repair was pretty useless.

HARD. even with 6 players it was impossible for any of us to get a base going, even if we got ignored for a while, when we got attacked it was by 4 or more demons at the same time, and they shreded walls and towers.
Eventually we won by running around and spamming great halls to distract the AI.
Until the map is actually a tag, and not just running around forever

Thank you for further feedback Paillan! I will reduce the difficulty on all levels in terms of the amount of demons that spawn and grant the players additional bonuses on the easier difficulties to build up a base. Which difficulty did you guys play on?

We played on normal. Honestly the problem I see is that demons are so fucking strong, not only do they attack fast from the first wave, but also have tons of health and regen.

First off, sorry for long wait, I had to host this thing many times and nobody would join.
Getting players problems aside, the map seems to be much more balanced now, and while I felt that the difficulty curve spiked a bit too much in the end, this only happened in some games, in other games it was fine.
Overall, I see no reason to keep this map pending.
