I see several ways forward once you've gotten foothold, the problem is the 5 minute mark, what did your base look like right during that initial barrage?

some tricks you may not be aware of.

* PZ beam is not only more powerful, but more energy-efficient.
* PZ beam burns its energy very quickly. So swap in a fully-charged spare (or 2 or 3) as the first gets depleted.
  an empty beam sitting on a PZ is a complete waste of opportunity. In D0m0nik's screenshots you can see he has 3 beams allocated to each PZ for exactly this.
* with Converter AoO and guppy, you can take deep enemy territory. The deeper the enemy, the easier to take! (freeze AoO helps, but not actually needed)
* In this scene, you have about 6m15s of peace before the first spore wave arrives. DON'T build a beam on those yummy PZs, build reactor on the PZ and the beam(s) next to it, to swap in as needed. A PZ reactor pays for itself in about 10 seconds of operation!

In this map, you have ample time before first spores to either take nearby islands (thus spreading the spore attack over more defenses) or to build an impregnable turtle defense like I did.

The very first thing to do is build a guppy and send it to the top middle island for the Aether packet, you can harvest that before the creep gets it. Then use the guppy to fly round collecting AoAs. Freeze AoA on top of a convert is vital as it allows you to attack a biger area with 2 or 3 guppies and nullifiers.

Very glad to read your comments, D0m0nik-san.  :)
But why you use AoA instead of AoO (Artifact of Odin)? What is your idea?  :D

"whichever" should be not AoA or AoO but AoD - Artifact of D0m0nik! Ha Ha  :D

Great map!!

Was quite a challenge to multitask and find a good strategy among so many paths:

I ended up not landing guppy in creeper.
