A simple map that makes use of something we usually forget that exists. Don't look the score, I've played in x4 most of the time and it certainly can be done much much faster. Requires some play at x4 to gather enough aether for upgrades. No CRPL.
Rain seemed pretty weak, i just went with the forge cannon
It requires high AC capacity upgrade and a lot of guppies transporting ore to compete with the singularity, but still pretty funny to use. This is my first map of the genre, the next ones will surely be more balanced and cooler. At least having 24 guppies transporting ore and a rain of 3K per CN was pretty fun, but requires way too much time spent on totems to gather aether. I guess a pre-start with high AC capacity upgrade would be necessary for those kind of maps.
Perhaps you could give Aether packs to bootstrap ... or high-level Totems.
