Text File Description:
"It looks as though someone is still alive. A terminal informs you that another invasion is imminent but you can subvert the portal to the crusher. Alas the reactor has been flooded so you will have to drain it in order to restore power."

Very unique map concept. Basically when the map starts, a very very tall lift starts to lower which acts as a timer for this massive wave of enemies to teleport in, including like 8 archviles. I think it goes off at about 5 minutes on Ultra Violence. Thankfully, getting the blue key and blowing through the rest of the map is very doable in under 5 minutes, and the wave will activate earlier if you get to the bunker room faster than that so you aren't stuck waiting. If you do nothing and wait for it to go off, they will teleport both on the bridge and the crusher room, so getting back to the bunker room will be basically impossible if you're still across the bridge. One of the switches turns off the bridge teleporter though, so they all just spawn under the crusher. The crusher itself is slow as hell and not a very time efficient way to kill everything, but it does make the map incredibly easy if you do just want to wait it out, they will all die eventually. I don't think it can happen on GzDoom, but if you do this on other ports you risk getting the all-ghosts bug from an archvile resurrecting crushed corpses, and you don't want that, so its best to use all those cells you get and take out most of the Archviles first with the BFG, although it is significantly more dangerous even just peeking out the door. I would probably rank it higher if the teleporter were a little faster, and if I didn't have to spend so much time waiting for lifts.
