The map itself is nice, but considering the average win time is ~2-3 hours, maybe a bit unbalanced.
I lost patience the first time, but was compelled to come back: you see the path, you're just not sure how to tackle each obstacle. The second time is when I finally learned, after all this time playing Creeper World 4 PAC maps, how the shield-push-thingy works. So after beating the map, I ran it a third time and got it done under an hour.
I have to praise this map for its balance. You can brute-force it with creep, or you can really strategize, in which case it does incentivize using about the whole arsenal at our disposal; and even then there are multiple paths to tackle it. Plus, the use of anti-creeper "traps" and terraforming did make the map evolve over time.
As fa as PAC goes, and Queen type aside, this might be the best map out there.
Its really long, but pretty easy. I beat it with nothing emitters and crimson, with a few floods here and there.
