Not hard map, but a little tricky. And You not need to destroy "invisible enemy". This problem solved.
Once more BIG THANKS to Grabz for creating GSM template! :)

Big thanks, D0m0nik! :)
According to rating and downloads of GSMs it is the question whether better to continue or not to create this type of maps... :(
At list one more GSM was uploaded now.

We enjoy them, and those who don't don't need to play them.

Thanks for making them for us, yum.

Yeah who cares about scores, I think by now it is quite clear that most of the regular players really don't pay them too much notice. I for one love these maps!

It's really hard to figure out all the things you need to do, and to get the priorities right - one mis-guess and you end with things being overrun just before they activate.
Stuff like:
Do I ninja spawners with a guppy, or is it not worth it?
What's the right balance between AC, reactor, and sniper investment?
Should I try to flood as much floor as possible, how much cannons/mortars should I combine with that? Or is it just not worth it, a single sprayer and invest in snipers instead?
Lots of decisions, and get a single one right and you'll get your "neenaneenaneena you failed again" much later, and you don't even know what exactly to change.

I'm currently at the point where regardless of which of the three starting areas I start with, I can't ramp up energy quickly enough to build enough snipers, so I get overrun. I can let the CN face-tank three or four robots, but I always end up with a maximum of three working but under-energized snipers and at least a half robots still inbound. I could survive that, maybe, but the robots still spawn so much creeper that even if I got everything sniped in time the flood would likely overrun me anyway.
