Cybernation... oh boy. I tried the UV Max record route of [Tatsurd-cacocaco] with fast monsters, only to fail miserably. It turns out that UV Max required MOVING the cyberdemons around quite a lot, to delay killing them until you have the BFG. This is definitely the fastest strategy; the problem is: FAST MONSTERS. The cyberdemons just don't move at all; they continuously fire; and fire as soons as they see you. After the chaingunner room it is almost impossible to go out the door, with 4 live cyberdemons, and move them arround to go to the mancubi room. They killed me 100% of the time, and believe me, I tried!

So I went for the slow strategy, using the route of [blob1024, 2014]. This means slowly killing the first 2 cyberdemons with plasma so things get easier later. This was a lot safer; but still not easy though... the completion rate of this map with this strategy is still about 1% of all runs.

I optimized a few things from the previous run; I was quicker moving the cyberdemons around; saved the soulsphere for the last moment where I really needed it (instead of getting it from the start); and also managed to cause more in-fighting in the last fight with the cyberdemon, the mastermind and all the revenants, and this secured me a 30 second time-save.

Obviously this route can be optimized even further; and with some luck it should be possible to go below 6m10. However, if someone manages to pull this out with the regular UV Max route, that should yield a sub 5 min run.
