What Island did you guy's land on anyway? I landed in the middle island  :D

Also was it challenging? Did I go overboard with the runners? Any of you made any mistakes on this map?

Just commenting even though it is a bit late. Not sure if DevilWarrior79 still checks forum, but the feedback could also be useful for other mapmakers.

The number of runners totally killed this map for me. The lag from that many active units made the map unplayable on my computer. So I didn't really get to see how your ideas played out, because just building one collector took minutes even when running an energy surplus. There is absolutely no way I am doing a 250x250 map at that speed. And that is a shame, because it looks like you took the time to do a lot with this map.

I'm sure the map runs a lot smoother on a spanking new gaming PC, but the game is from 2013, so I'm going to count excessive lag on a PC with a couple of years on it as a design flaw on a map.
