Enjoy :) Made this for myself but if you enjoy harder starts and mowing down structure with blue particulate then you might enjoy this.
One of the best maps ever! I like harder maps and really enjoyed this one, 10/10 from me.

Understatement.
LOL... At least I warned you? ;)

Indeed, you warned us.
I liked heavy use of benign particles on this map, I don't see that too often. Out-of-reach amp gem factory is a nice touch - more amp gems are probably not required for final assault, but it's a good choice - I can ignore factory and try to attack with what I currently have or, if I'm not being successful with my attacks or I just don't feel powerful enough to even attempt these attacks, I can set up defenses and wait for tankers to supply factory with energy. That's a really nice idea - if you are not good enough, you can trade your time record for more potential power, making final assault easier. This way, better players get the challenge and better times and worse players get better chance to complete the map, not being stuck in standstill after battling through two-thirds of the map.
I intended the two gunship pick ups to be a similar item for people that may need just a little more firepower but I think they fell flat. Pretty easy push once you can get them(in my opinion) and they didn't really perform how I thought they would either when I tossed them out there.

Very weak gunship for so hard map with 6000 red particles. And shortage of all resources. :-\
