After giving it a thorough consideration (and receiving some help from the side) i came to the conclusion, that it would be impossible to tweak this mission to be both easier and more balanced experience for the general audience without sacrificing some parts of both fun factor and gamesense requirement (which is kind of a bummer).

I'll preserve and tweak some of parts of the mission for a less serious event though.

Thank you for your feedback, that's kind of what i expected to hear.
Had a lot of fun watching the demo too :D
I'm not entirely sure if i should dumb everything down and make it more tamed and ordinary or just remake it into a meme mission for next april fools event. Once i have some free time, i'll update the thread either with reworked version or a closing request.

Thank you very much for your time, your patience, and your feedback.
It was an interesting and engaging experience for me.

I'm pretty sure the last part of the last wave dragged out as much due to how fast giants were killed compared to regular robots. That never happened on tests with potato's discord members or with my friends, so i never noticed this problem.
P.S. Sorry for numbering all the different versions :)

Hmm... I'm pretty sure i upped damage bonus vs buildings on that boss. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it should be close to 200 damage per shot. I'll look into it, as well as other problems listed here or appearing in the demo file.

As for bison army idea, earliest version of the mission had something similar to that aaand... i really appreaciate the suggestion, but i'll probably go with something else :D

Thank you for your feedback and for your time.

I'm not entirely sure if i managed to fix the pacing issue.
