Wow! Most low rating of all maps!  :)
In this game important smart start and strategy...
Not so hard map!

Well I got to where the 7 spore towers first go off, nearly survived it too, will have to go back and be more efficient.

A very good map so far.  Yes, it is a bit of thinking to start with, my hint would be that you don't stick with your first CN, that is only used to build a terp to flatten a spot for a different CN.

You made the map.  You know the tricks.  You know exactly what you are supposed to do. 

For me:  life's too short to try again.  I really don't care.

As for ratings: I don't rate maps I don't finish.

Thank You for comments.
In this map I made only unusual begining. Thinking logically only one way to start:
build collector to get "terp tech", build terp with energy, send it to other area to prepare space for CN,
in the same time build one Beam with energy and move CN and Beam to prepared by terp point. :)
Then usual map with hard battle...

I enjoyed it and found it to be a very good challenge. The spores are a great challenge, the 7 spore wave is probably too much unless you have taken some PZs for beams though.

I had to restart this map at least 3 times which is something I never have to do which is a sign of a tricky map.

Would have been more of a challenge if the boss emitter was further to the left as you can just go down the far left using the PZs to take it quite easily.

I'm too slow for this map.  When the big storms arrive I simply don't have enough beams to stop them, nor is there space to build more.  Obviously I need to expand more but I haven't been able to.

Another old map of Yum's that's worth going back and playing, if you like a decent challenge. It's just a vanilla map but it's tricky and well-done.

Alter Old's score (as usual) is insane. I'm satisfied and quite happy to be in a distance 2nd place.  ;D

I bet several of you can beat my score, as we've all improved our skills over the years. Go for it!  ;)

And as always, thanks for making some really cool, difficult maps Yum!  ;D ;D

Somewhat tricky snipe with guppy, cannon and shield.
Took a few tries to find the strategy, and then a few dozen more attempts to beat alter :)

Wow dude, amazing time!

I've honestly never used shields unless forced to do so. Not exactly sure why - maybe because of how squishy they are. But it's obvious that they have a very effective use in this game.

Your persistence paid off, I'd say - Grats!  ;D

... maybe some of the other expert micro'ers will have a go at it too. :o

Nice golden oldie.
Bit of a tricksy start,
and its absolutely essential that you attain dominance before those 7-spore tower volleys start.

But aside from that, easy enough.

A nice, fun map in the old style. :)

Ha! I figured Alter Old would improve his time if he gave it a second run! Great score - I would really hate to play against you if this was a PvP game  :o
