ok this is sort of a successor to my 1st spore spam, but it was inspired by a recent map in CS, "Don't Err" by Jerdog... i really liked that one, but needed more symmetry!

I am not getting the best start out of it, but I will find the solution. It a good map, challenging, and it be rewarding when i figure out the right way.

The only teks map I can't do, after surviving for a while, an extra wave of phantoms came and put creeper on all of my reactors. How in the world do you defend against that many phantoms?

hey dude!  8)

it's been a while since i played this one, but it is possible to get enough beams up (with a few in power zones) to hold out. 

also get aggressive, you will need to hold a lot of the central landmass to have enough power for all those beams!

let me know if you are still stuck and i will hopefully have more advice, off to replay that one now  :)

hope that helps!  8)

Still having trouble with this map, always in the red compared to strong creeper coming at me and the threat of over 1000 phantoms (spores) coming to claim my reactors.

hey dude!

so what sort of time is it you are getting overwhelmed?   and roughly how far have you got down that central corridor?

you need to be pretty aggressive at the start and try to get a few kills so yuo can whack a few extra beams on the PZ's.  I have more or less both sides of the corridor are lined with beams, while the central spaces of the corridor i put reactors on.  Focus on range and power upgrades, and have some sprayers on always on in case a spore or two gets through.

hope that helps, if not let me know and i will replay and do some screenshots!  8)

thanks dude, glad you enjoyed it!

i have thoroughly enjoyed a bunch of your maps too, not completed many lol, too many things to do in a day, but i have at least got to a point where i know i can win from on about 50% of your maps so far! ;)
