Void. A world that will take more than one try. Once you learn the method, victory will be easy.

Got it on the first try without a problem other than the lag and I never felt appreciably threatened.  The creeper never cut through the wall and it only got close because I encouraged it to do so.  I also knocked an hour off your time and I'm sure I could have done it faster had I been willing to maintain two strike groups--the game time would have been less but I strongly suspect the clock time would have been more.

I get excited when I see "A world that will take you more than one try." And I suppose I could do a lot better the second time around but the map is pretty straightforward. Lots of creeper. And unlimited Berthas. You can finish the map using only Berthas, AC, and the totems. Using a Thor always makes me feel like I"m cheating.

Pro Tip: There is aether in the fort. Don't do what I did and only use the aether from the totems in the upper right for the first 20 minutes and then realize "Oh hey! Check THAT out!". Just sayin'.

Cool map - I do like massive amounts of Creeper & Spores. Thanks for including a backstory too - always helps break the monotony of just beating a map.

Difficulty-wise... if Sorrontis' maps are a 10, and an insta-kill inhibitor map is a 1 I'd say this is a 7. You can't go to sleep on it, but you don't necessarily need to pause or save it.
