After finally managing to complete it, there's an astronomical difference of difficulty on advanced with this map compared to any other map, this map on advanced is leagues harder than a lot of maps on expert. New and casual players are going to heavily struggle with this one and will never see the jungle map.
my problems arent in the beginning part, even tho as many said before, its not fair the mountaineer attack flying units while it's not supposed to, and also somehow, i've not tried but people keep telling me the nightguard can't switch with it, while its a 2 orb mob that cost exactly 150, its the exact limit, it should be doable.
if you want to make it canon then make a new variant of montaineer that can attack flying units, but otherwise thats unfair, otherwise i like the rest of the beggining part.
the problems for me start when you get tier 2:
1) there's just not enough breathing room in between waves to go and get ressources, ive never seen what goes on on the side with frost units cause for me, its not doable to build an army and go there while you also have to use all your energy on towers.
2) The amii monument is a cool idea on paper, until you eventually lose the top base and you're locked into tier 2 for the rest of the game, once it happens its a death sentence, and despite my best efforts with a friend its very easy to get overwhelmed there.
3) it goes with my point 1 but i think there are too many of those buildings you get to destroy to reduce the timer, and you never have the ressource to split between an army and your defences to go take care of it. And I would be ok with it if the option to make suicide attacks would be viables, but nope, thats prevented too with those auras on the gregories and said main building. for real, why ? getting there is hard enough why you had to add those auras ?
i've barely beaten it on advanced, (at 5 seconds from the end, my entire defense collapsed, cause no power and lost the amii monument, only reason i didnt die is because i had purple knight of chaos). For real, as a somewhat casual noob player i don't see myself EVER playing it on expert.
i really liked map2 tho
