I sure wouldn't care to hear a little survival hint.
Multiple tries and survived 4 Spore attacks, but then my time was up.
Thanks,

The start is a wee bit brisk, I must admit. But it worked out quite well in the end, with 25 minutes or so.

Start: grab power syphon, grab left island, build 7 reactors. *don't* waste power trying to neutralize the red herrings.
1 sprayer and 3 mortars to keep the horde at bay. Built forge sametime.
*sacrifice* full sprayer to make aether syphon usable, grab that 250 for the forge. Invest all into power.


From there onwards, it's a pretty straightforward slog for power then territory.

Aha!
Thanks for the advice.
I will make another run at it later.

I went for early forge, terp, 2 reactors, loads of collectors and sprayer and mortors. Also took the left island but terped a little base for the three CNs in the middle. Terp was very important throughout.

Really fun little map, nicely ballanced.

loved this map

my time was closer to 15 hours, than D0m0nik's 15 minutes, but I don't care. This was great!

Aha!
Survived thanks to GGA.
Now I see that it can be a 10K instead of a Marathon.
Too early for a beer (if that's possible), but I might take a nap before a re-try.
Thanks for the help!
