Alright... a little coffee, a bagel, maybe some cereal, a nap, maybe a walk around the block... otherwise, pretty easy... :)

Just starting myself...

Set speed to 4x and watch it for a few minutes, you'll see your base spot.

Good luck.

Perhaps the hardest PH map ever...

I made a few mistakes and got a slower time than I could have had

Spoiler
Forges are not targeted by spores - get some energy upgrades in early

I've got a good base set up but no clue what to do from there.  I think you bested me on this P.H

This map had me stumped for awhile. I finally beat it but I'm still not sure if I did it "right"...

btw pastor.healer how do you manage to keep such a pace at mapmaking? :D All your maps are really good (some of my favorites) and yet you seem to pump out several each week. I recently began dabbling in mapmaking and found besides the design itself that balancing and playtesting takes a lot of time. It would be interesting to hear about your process.

Spoiler
There is an area just to the north of the initial base where you can build a second base. Use a bertha and a couple of blasters to clear it out.

There is now a very low time posted - when I am still confined to the start location - congratulations to Miss Melissa who I suspect
Spoiler
used the singularity & a guppy to win

I keep getting wiped out on this map - energy is tight in the beginning and if the beam runs out of power briefly it has to zap two spores at once and cannot draw power fast enough. I suppose I ought to save occasionally

AMH.... I am happy that you got through the map!   I see it took you a long time (wow) but you persevered! 
Well done!  :)  Right now you are 1 of 7 to make it.  As you hone our CW skills, your times will drop
substantially.

You pretty much hit it on the head RrR!

Spoiler
I added a bertha to cut down the creeper but realised when I finished that there was no need for it, the key is having enough aether to give you a good window from the singularity

Not a huge fan of the singularity, but no way I was going to fight through all of that.

Spoiler
I think I had about 400 aether when I sent the guppy over to the NE inhibitor.  Keep dropping command nodes in the landing spot to the east as you can tap those two totems as well to speed up the aether collection process.
