Appearance: In version 2.0 the surprises boxes have changed shape and name. Now they are holograms that emerge from the soil.
Function: Its function is the same as in the previous version (go above causes a random event that can influence the course of the game). However 2.0 introduces several new features:
This object may appear during the three waves.
Some random effects are specific to a wave as they interact with the scenery.
The surprises generator contains 20 different events (the previous version contained 6).
In multiplayer there are two generators that appear thus events may be combined and thwart. Note that in multiplayer only the player who went on the surprises generator wins the score. A player can spend on a surprises generator every 5 seconds only otherwise it does not launch.
As I received several PMs on this subject I want to say that no TDB 2.0 will not participate to Blizzard Contest because the rules are not compatible with the map. Anyway the map will never be ready for September 12.
This is a pretty cool game, you really must play it :)

This is the first screenshot that I can provide:
Nice, can't wait to play it :)
May it be possible to choose other "skins" than a SCV ? I would love to see a Drone desperatly trying to avoid this :D
or a "SCVs revenge mode" where you are the baneling against lots of falling SCVs :D
Choose other skin than the SCV is not intended for the moment but I keep the idea for later.

I take this opportunity to give a new screenshot:
TDB 2.0 overview : New UI
Is it going to be playable with 2 players on the same computer? The UI kinda looks like that.
Btw. is it possible to make some kind of split screen in the galaxy editor?
How far are you with the development? Please keep us updated.
Btw. im pretty sure that if you sent it to the blizzard map contest you would have won (atleast i like this map way more than these that won)
