Peon Battles v2.3d

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
v2.3d

Balance and Fixes!

-The 'Win By Killing All Lives' victory condition trigger has been fixed to properly pause all units like other victory triggers.
-Turned out when Team 2 had more players than Team1 (enough to make the balance system run) there was a 1 character error in my code that caused it to add the player to team2 then remove it from team2, when it should have removed the player from team1! This screws up the functions after this was done, which adjust the alliance settings. But this should definitely be fixed now.
-Peons in siege engines would not get removed from the game when a round ended. Now all siege engines and unfinished structures/tools will be destroyed before removing peons!
-Boogey Mons can no longer be stacked on top of one another.
-Boogey Mon's Booger ability is now set to autocast automatically.
-Gyrocopter's life has been decreased from 1500 to 850.
-Gyrocopter's nuke ability damage has been decreased from 250 to 175. The area off effect radius has also been decreased from 250 to 200.
-Minigun now displays floating text when your peon gains the mini gun buff. I feel the gaining of the minigun buff was a little choppy so i hope that makes it go more smooth.
-Abomination hotkey fixed.
-Rare respawn bug possibly fixed.

Good map I like it very much!!!

Positive:
- Great (new) idea
- Works excellent without laggs
- Only with tactic and teamplay you´ll win

Negative:

- Boring terrain
- I mean a big problem is that some towers are useless-> Alll the times I played it the games turn into a tower battle with the highest range towers-> The players build only these towers-> So a camping game develop. Maybe you can fix it with a limit of the different towers or give the worker more hp.
- Trigger events?!

All in all
4/5 of me at the moment

Tools easily destroy long range towers. I would improve the terrain but, im not sure how to go about that for a map like this.

trigger Events? like power ups and stuff?
