Yeah I never use the singularity weapon in my runs. If/when I make a new map myself I'm considering disabling the singularity weapon, along with other things like disabling collectors and limiting to only 5 reactors (so if you want more power, gotta build reactors on power zones and research upgrades in the forge)

Was a fun map!

Oh yeah, it just occured to me I never hovered the help icons. But that's because I had played the map several times and already got that 17 minute time before I made this video, so already knew where the things were. It is for sure a really good tool first time playing a map though!

People want to feel powerful so be careful with limiting them :). In particular I'd feel bad for limiting the energy as it would cause the map to take longer without really becoming harder. It also limits what people can do when waiting and makes capturing territory less rewarding.

I don't use Singularity when play-testing my maps as I don't want to make my solution dependent on something that recharges very slowly. But I will allow it for people that struggle and people that want to cheese :).

I put the Help Bar hint as a comment under your YT video for those that want to learn more :).

Glad you liked the map :).
