What is most hard? How disable evil Berthas? Or go through islands?

[Portelly]

The Berthas.

They start firing and i'm only at this point.

I'd like the full hint!

[Oblivion]

Yes, Id like the full hint. Not sure how a single spore can reach the berthas.

If You going fast to this poin You can disable 3+1 evil Berthas. Then will be usual hard battle.
At least if You place Spore Tower in this point You can kill even active Berthas (but it need time).

For me very interesting opinion of RrR, Ratboy, Rogacz and gambit. Are You used long distance spore attack? Or not?
If possible, please, comment.

No, details in the spoiler.

I actually ignored the left side and went for the 3rd bottom island, from there I was able to launch a few spores at the Bertha. Also I destroyed the Relays there to starve the bottom for easy destruction.  I had larger emitters away from where I was actually moving so the Bertha would usually target them.

Another amazing map!

That was tough but fun.  For those who are curious, as long as you get that lower spore set up you can beat the map even if the berthas get built. However, it takes a LONG time! :)

Yes. It was designed originally.  :) Important was that Bertha will not appear again in comparison with pre-build Bertha.
