For me the Cookie version is better. It is the oldest one. I really don't like the Lealen version becouse it is too new: There is the jail! Why build a jail? And when you win you can go outside the map and die.
I feel Cookie is better and i think Epix have to be a oldshool map, so the oldest version is more immersive :P
Sure you enjoy! Ñı©Ø

Just to clarify, the gray background versions were made by me, with Cookie's permission.

Cookie's original Epix, which I have, was not ever used in mainstream, because a beta version leaked out and became the most popular version (all of which are bright blue).

My version fixes many dumb shortcuts, and is easier on the eyes. I have attached the latest version of my version:

If you'd like to use Cookie's original finished Ep!x (which can't be found anywhere else) you can take a look here:

Epix was one of the most played maps in DDrace history.

I would love to play it on DDNet, but i have 2 questions:

1. Wich rating?
There are easy Novice parts, hard Novice parts and parts wich could be Moderate. I personally would say Oldschool 1 Star would matches best, but here newbies won't see it.

2. Wich version?
I personally would prefer one of the two following versions:
  • The last one Broken posted, cause it's the map like mapper wants it to be and there are a few sensefull changes.
  • The edited version by Lealen, Soreu posted, cause as i remeber it's one of the older and modified versions wich were on almost every DDrace server. If i take a nostalgic look on it, i would prefer to play the version i played mostly in past. This version have some extra parts and changes aswell. For example this:

Difficult decision. :/

The version with Broken's fixes was the best if i remember correctly. There other version from Lealen probably has the old feel, but the version with better gameplay is what should be added. So unless someone wants to reskin Broken's and have a compromise, should go with his.
