how do you do this? i just cant keep up with all the spores, they wiped out my base
What I would recommend to do in order to handle the spores is get your energy up relatively quickly and nullify the AC emitter to the left of the starting point. While the AC is nice, you don't need it and the PZ you get makes the spores MUCH more able to be handled. Then, build up some mortars to keep the Creeper at bay and use the nullifier to take out the closest emitter. Pretty simple after that as you should also be building energy while doing all of that. Then it's just a matter of continuing to build up and out.
I thought this was a really good game.
Lots of fun.
My approach was (as always) build power, build IMMEDIATE NEED defense (and ready only at the last second), attack.

Note: I found that AC Emitter near your CN quite valuable in holding back the Creeper during the first few minutes.
