Hated this.
Long slog through the map, finally got to the end, got wrecked due to lack of firepower.
Slog again, just to finish that thing? No way.

Oh, and that "soft" limit isn't soft at all. Not sure what to call it, but "soft" is a misnomer - maybe something like "you may have lost half an hour before you actually see you lost".

Another remark: Adding a soft limit means you're denying achievement to people who aren't fast.
I.e. you lose those who need an early win to be motivated to try another one.

I just retried, went in pretty quickly, tried a strategy but it wouldn't work out, but that means I lost.
I could be save scumming, but... no. Just no. Being a good strategist doesn't mean you retry a map until you have made the right decisions with 20/20 hindsight that the previous attempts give you.
