Map Description:
"The War between Cats and Mice still continues...
Many battles have been fought: in Jungle, Winter, Desert, even in Space...
But now, the battle takes place near an 8-Lane Highway!!!"

THE STORY:
Countless seasons have passed since the cats and mice first waged war. First it was Space, then it was Jungle, Winter, Ore Wars, Fireworld, Desert, City, Pylon, and many other places too many to name. Now, the times have changed. Fewer and fewer cats and mice battles are being fought, maybe because they are getting sick of fighting each other knowing that there are seemlingly endless amounts of them. Either way nowadays, some battles are fought, mainly in Jungle, but a new battleground has emerged! Partly because the cats and mice want a new map to settle their dispute. That is... the 8-Lane Highway! Or Freeway where ever you're from. This time, the Cats and Mice can use the advantage of the Highway to fight each other and perhaps... END THE WAR ONCE AND FOR ALL!

HOW TO PLAY (Short):
- This is just like you average CnM map, but with a twist: The Highway!
- The highway is where cars (Flying units, Neutral Player 7) come and go... and instantly kill anything in its path wtihout stopping!
- This includes all units from Mice, and all units from Cats! So be careful when crossing the highway!
- The highway splits the battleground into two play areas, Top and Bottom!
- If a Mouse dies at Top, the Mouse will be held captured at Top! Same with Bottom!
- So if a Mouse from Bottom wants to save a Mouse from Top, then the Mouse will have to either cross the highway, or buy 800 minerals to save everyone on one side, Top or Bottom! (which can be bought more)
- Because the highway instant kills anything, the Cats have 9 Lives! (9 Cats)
- And Cat Player starts out always with 2 Cats anytime! (1200 HP each)
- If the Cats lose all their lives and Cats, the Cat Player lose!
- But if the Cats catch all the Mice, the Mice Team lose!
- When a Cat catches a Mouse, the Cat Player will receive 1 Gas!
- The Gas is used to buy units from bottom!
- Or the Cat Player can convert 1 Gas into 100 Minerals! and vice versa!
- Cats have spells and upgrades! Which both cost minerals!
- Overtime, the Cat Player receives minerals.
- And there is feeding for Cats! You can see the whole feeding list in the Mission Briefing!
- On top of this, 10 kills for Cats = 20 minerals!
- So Mice, be careful how much you build!
- Also, there are bonuses in the game! Like saving gives you 100 minerals!
- And crystals may appear in the middle of the highway that gives 50-500 minerals! (Cats included)
- Be sure to use the Highway as an asset to winning! It may even turn the tides if one side is losing...
