... it is not what it looks like.

[Loren Pechtel]

The best I did was ignoring all the preemptive targets and simply focusing on expanding my base.  I survived the first two 25 spore waves but I was in the hole on power and couldn't recharge fast enough, the next one had a spore die just before hitting the back of my base and the next one wiped my base.

[Martin Gronsdal]

Better call?

[Helper]

Ghostbusters?

I need to call somebody. I'm trying the slow build up at the bottom center base but am not optimistic.
When the Spores start flying, I'm going to be dying.

Help,
H

Not only a Helper but also a poet!

That rhymed, sailor!

[Helper]

Indeed.
Thank you.

If I were less erudite, I wudda said 'gonna' instead of 'going'.  ::)
(Not sure how well that translates.)

Great map AlexX! a tricky start as always, and I see the Berthas have run out again  :P

Some hints: I found it best to

Spoiler

just establish a small perimeter around the bottom base, and then concentrate on getting guppies up to the middle two islands to clear those.
Then you can have many PZ beams to take care of the multi-25-spore nightmare!

also, to help things along, don't forget to:

Spoiler

get a couple of snipers (soon after) to the small islands in the L shapes to start the AC party

First Hint:

Spoiler

leave the start-point as soon as possible

20 mins game time and two hours actual time and I can finaly relax and not micro manage guppies, that was a tough start!!

he again...

again: you have to play the game according to the developer's rules. Yellow card!

are you to the left first or to both sides?
at first i had more digitalis on both sides next to the path and a few bugs... and there where no islands
