thank you for playing! also, thank you for the feedback, I appreciate that. Could you tell me which way you went? maybe on PM, or in a spoiler?
phew, that took a while.
1st play:
Started on the reactors, and was quite sad to realize - you can't keep your starting "bonus" unless you pick the forge. So, there isn't much "choice".
This ended up being a long and tedious grind, inching forward with a terp and cannons while not being sure it's even possible to complete, definitely not fun.
2nd play:
Forge start - things went so much better with upgrades, 4-5 cannons shooting instead of 1, beams reliably taking down the spores, more energy, etc
Edit;
Didn't play to the end, but bertha start also seems decent, though 2 guppies aren't much to keep it shooting, it helps a lot with pushing forward.
So it's just the reactor start that's pretty much a trap because the moment you start attacking downwards you need to abandon all those precious reactors

i did same as Lightforger :D first time got greedy for free energy, i gave up. 2nd time i knew knowledge is power haha.
Love this map. Don't look at the scores, since hard maps always have low score.
Liked this more than your other maps, because those don't have as much regular experience as this one. May be there are too many puzzle elements in other maps.

thank you for playing. Did you go down the Forge route?
Forge route is a no-brainer for a turtle. Very easy to set up a defense and then just let stuff run while I watch a movie. Only saved and paused the game when I moved the base to the middle. Thought it was a nice challenge.
Thanks for the map!
