Interesting CRPL. This map reminds me how much I stink at playing, cause I just could not finish, no matter what I did I was always overwhelmed by spores. It's why I make maps, rather than play them. And why when I post maps, almost everyone gets a higher score than me.

There are quite a lot of resources there a time of <15m should be possible. My advice for the end
Spoiler
Use everything you can to get to the bertha tech to put on 4 PZs and the reactors tech. Build lots of reactors and mortars and don't forget the AOOs.

I don't even see that this is possible.  Love to see a video or some other demonstration.

Just got round to this one, it is one of those maps that needs a good hour or two to devote to it!

Excellant idea and execution, enjoyed it a lot. Those emitters felt like so much more than 100 though! Very satisfying to have the perfect, clear circles amidst the creeper.

Agree that 15 mins may be possible for EA-Alter but 21 probably very close to my maximum, I was flat out for most fo the map but did not use all reactors.

Not to spoil the party Karsten but I suspect, as map maker, Willbir set a generous time to give us all a chance!
