some micromanagement at the beginning
I suspect someone more skilled could have killed more of those towers before they flooded but I finally managed to expand fast enough to get enough defenses up to weather the storms. Once you reach that point it's pretty easy.
The key with this one is

send over a sniper to the far right to set off the AC bug chain. Then use sprayers and guppies to bring ore back to the CN.

I don't see how to exploit it but the top left of center likewise.

I do think the game (and others like this) would be better if you could identify ahead of time which bugs carry creeper and which don't.

u got a point... but u don't need the ac 2 win/finish the map. i think such things makes the game more interesting

Yeah, my first try i didn't know about the AC bugs, beat it after a few restarts. The pile of AC over there doesn't really make that much difference.
Yeah I must admit, now it is no longer a surprise my frist run through is build a couple of snipers and send them off at 4 speed without any consideration for the base. Once I have worked out the bugs I restart.
To clarify, I like the idea that some bugs give AC. I agree it makes the game more interesting. But I like to plot out my strategy ahead of time. In this map, I tried a sniper on the bugs close to the starting point to see if they had AC and it was of course worse than a waste of time; it was detrimental. I guess I'll try Domonik's approach of an initial start that is only to find the bugs with AC. Thanks for this and all the other interesting maps, AlexX.

I'm just getting ready to try this (after bombing out on the "easy" one).
The X man mentioned in an early map that he "always" has AC bugs in his maps, it's just a matter of finding and exploiting them.
Here goes.
