I found the one on Midkemdil as well. I also found something on Draknor Level 1. On the "Oracle" region. Looks pretty darn close to an egg if you as me :).

Can we discuss the answers...? :mrgreen:

I just don't know which one is the correct egg of the 85 on Easter map... Probably the one the bunny holds... :lol:

midkemdil, thailand and steamworks were not altered in any way. oddly enough the things people reported as eggs were there from the beginning.
i sometimes make my big maps include something extra. for example on steamworks the thing in the bottom right corner is not an egg, but rather some droplets of water :)

the maps with easter eggs were:
EGG 1 - 8 Thoughts
EGG 2 - Classic
EGG 3 - All Your Base Are Belong To Us (Answer to Clue Zero Wing)
EGG 4 - First Nations South America
EGG 5 - Space (Answer to Clue Magic Wardrobe)
EGG 6 - Woodboro
EGG 7 - Duck and Cover
EGG 8 - Tribal War - Florida (Answer to Clue Eagles and Spearheads)
EGG 9 - Ancient Greece
EGG 10 - USA New England (Answer to Clue Big Apple)

A few said they had ten, but I am not sure how many of them included some of the 'bonus' maps and did not have 10 actual eggs.

Medals have not yet been awarded. Hopefully Gilligan will give us those figures once he's gone through all the PMs.

Man.. so I was one of 3 who got Tribal War but didn't get them all? darn! I still don't think I ever would have picked out the one on Ancient Greece. Congrats to the dedicated 8 that got them all!

Got them all also. Just Firefox.

If you go to game finder to browse maps, you just move your cursor over the map. The map name appears at the bottom of your screen.

Classic Map is: Classic.L.jpg (L stands for Large)

During the hunt the map-names were renamed to: Classic.L-E.jpg (Large - Easter)

As I noticed that it was easy to find the 10 maps with L-E names. The eggs in some cases were still hard to find. But could easily check when you compare the Large map, with the small-map. :D

Yeah, I noticed it when browsing the maps. Maybe a tip for next time, not to rename them. ;)

Yea, that was a smart idea too Iron Maid! I also saw the L-E but didn’t know thats what it stranded for.
I’m also one of the 8!
P.S. I happened to be very stupid when deciding on my name as Mr. Lee (Don’t ask!)

We didn't have a choice but to rename it. But it still saddens me that some people would exploit that fact for an extra medal. :(

I guess we'll have to do something else next year.
