Eve of the Apocalypse: Twilight

I was playing Stormwail Undead vs. United Creeps and the creeps were already attacking the bottom lane just as the undead spawned.

I've seen this occasionally too, not just with UD.

I still can't find the screen I took.

But I should add that the Undead had the left side of the map, creeps on the other. I only used -allheroes and used Ivarhem. I don't know if that will help but I think I should add it.

Sounds right with mine, the left side justs pops over and get slaughtered by towers about when first wave spawns.

Old post, but still deserves explianation:

Basicly, the spawn order of outposts is completely random (the spawns are staggered to reduce lag). Sometimes things like this happen, or you can get two spawns in very quick succession. Debatable if this is a good or bad things, random influences on games are nice becuase they keep the pace changing, but its arguable you can loose a game purely becuase of bad spawn times.

Arguable indeed! I think I found a new, and super awesome excuse!

I noticed this too, but assumed it was intentionally made random as yak said. I think it's fine. While you can get your towers damaged a little bit early, you can also get experience faster for those crucial first few levels.
