sorry dude, but this map sucks. You have around 30-40 seconds to establish something not even called a base before digitalis overwhelms everything, can't contain that amount with only 3 blasters.

Yeah, I tried giving strong hints, but that doesn't always work. Build 4 snipers and make a "pool" of AC up north. You'll need to land your snipers in creeper several times so be careful not to lose them. And just in case it doesn't go without saying, you'll need to land both CN's up north too. One at a time or both at once - it's up to you.

Hope that helps!

Yeah, I must confess I'm just dumb, lol. Sorry for the rant, this map is indeed pretty easy when played correctly.

Nice quick map. A little tricky, but nothing crazy.

Would've been easier if you'd allowed guppies but I'm guessing you were intending to make it a little more difficult. I can appreciate that.

Thanks for the map! =)

Eh, it's different for sure but I dunno that I'd say it's better. Yours can be done multiple ways whereas my version can pretty much only be done using one tactic. But I'm definitely glad you like it better, that's saying a lot! =)

this one is too tricky for me. i know how to flatten initial base. i know how to make it full of AC. but how to move out? no idea. please give some hint :)

Build only one moveable thing that the spores will attack (blaster or terp). When the spores launch at it, fly it over to an area you want covered in AC. Fly a CN to that area once it's covered in AC and then start nullifying emitters.

Bonus hint: Spores won't target snipers, so you can land near some runners that give AC when killed, let the spores target one thing (like a guppy base). They'll provide AC, and the runners will to. You can use the guppy to fly around and nullify things.

The main thing is to understand how many fully-loaded spores landing in one place produce AC instead of creeper. Once you realize that, you should be able to figure out the rest. If not, there's always tic-tac-toe.

What a great map! I needed a few restarts. Then I noticed

there weren't many creeper lying around in the north. I built four snipers... lots of flying around... lots of shooting... until the chain reaction finally happened... then there was more than enough ac...

Thank you so much for making my map so much better... even if it took much longer.

Heh heh, yeah that's the way I played the map the first time - saw that route and figured I'd try it. Always love your maps, so thanks for the compliment!
