I don't know about a theme, but there is one thing that makes maps successful, as far as sp, for what I've learned. When using hordes, use the worst combinations possible, make situations in a way that makes the play say, I'm doomed, but manage it in a way where they stay alive. Use deadly combinations, for example frogs and kleers in one wave, bad combination. Another example, Putting a tightly bound pillar room, and send nasty kamikazes in it, for utter confusion, and explosions :). As for a theme, I don't know, I would like an old mine, except that is my idea for the next map I will work on (will have to wait for new SS++ though, need that light to parent to the player). Sorry, I don't know if this helps any... but it is just something to keep in mind to all mapmakers, cause that is what I live off of in maps, utter chaos, and where the chances seem too slim to count.

Single player maps are more sought-after now.

That's why I'm doing City Of Gold as an Sp and not a DM or Co-Op.

My vote goes for single player. Make original battle scenes, though- no more kamikaze arenas, please.

i like insane battles in sp maps. i usually try really wierd enemy combos no one ever thought of. red biomech with two mounted arachnoid machine guns, werebull with headlights and fires lasers, harpy bomber that drops kamikazes, etc, etc.
