We found Enemy's big plant. But it's strict security.
I'm guessing a lot of people don't like difficult maps, but this gem is a fine test of omni skills! In hindsight, I'm wondering if perhaps the map is designed to be first captured on the bottom and then the top...? I took the top first because that's where most of the ships were being produced, and it was also a safe-ish place to park the HQ once it was clear.
The single amp gem is a bit harsh (can't count the number of times I had to switch it from rock burner, move speed, etc.) - I'm not sure it would've made the map a lot easier with 2 amp gems but it would have prevented the constant switching.
Or maybe we were supposed to actually use our ships, in which case I did this map the wrong way. My ships ended up being cannon fodder for that one gun that seemed to one-shot just about any ship anywhere on the map. That was fun, just like "Let's go, Charles Manson!" :P
Thanks for the map! ;D
