Maps

Tricky Tracks

“

Players have discovered with this update that Bloon children spawns have different functionality within Map Editor which makes maps created in map editor potentially much harder than they otherwise could be in the base game. We have decided that fixing this issue would cause too much damage to the hard work put into the creation of many challenging editor maps so we will be leaving functionality how it is, however we have adjusted the central speed nodes on the new Tricky Tracks map in order to more closely match the intended difficulty (and we black bordered it to confirm the changes). — Update notes
