I was hoping that you might consider some of the suggestions that were offered in the forum for your first game.
I did a quick "4x" for a couple of minutes to see what would develop.
50+ Sp;ores at about the 2:17 mark and no access to a Totem (and only two Totems in a 256x256 map) made up my mind for me real quickly.

Every map maker has to make the maps they chose, but most people aren't going to play a 1-2+ hour map if they have to slog through it.

I wish you well in future maps.

Did you read the mapmakers hint above H?

Those spores should never fire!

Hi. Thanks for your comments.
You got early acces to 750 Aether.

Most of the Spores could be cleanout very quick using the guppies.

Hey D -
I did see the hint about Guppies - and - I started the game way before your time was posted -  :o
I fully support map makers choosing everything they do about a map - and I like difficult maps - but artificially increasing the difficulty through limited game pieces is not something I enjoy.
That's why I don't play PAC, GSM, and Puzzle maps. I never figured out how to play them, so I don't.
Those are all some of the highest rated maps in CW3, just not my cup of tea.

Right now I'm over playing (e)'s DMD map #100 and I better get back to it if I want to "temporarily' have the best time.
;)

I wish I'd seen this map back in the day.

Any map with this much energy, land, and aether available at the beginning can easily be turtled.

In under 3 minutes, you can have more than 100 beams ready to go and survive all the waves of spores.

Use guppies if you'd like - but as Han Solo said, "I prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around"

Great map! Thanks for making it!! =)
