Hard start. Important things first...
Some hints:
Spoiler
first wipe out the sporetower in the northwest
Spoiler
use a guppie to do that
If you're looking for a real knock-down, drag-out fight, this is it.
It took me a long time to establish the starting point with enough power to hold off the Creep and Spores, but things started moving after that.
A couple of times I overextended and got burnt, but just went back to the latest save.
A good one to bookmark and come back to at a future date.
Thanks for the fun.

thx & thx 4 playing.tooks some time to make the start medium hard but not impossible :-)
Interesting start indeed. 3 options for me:
Spoiler
Land CN and collect bertha
Use a guppy to take out the 15 spore
Use a guppy to collect aether packets early before they are lost in creep
The problem is they all delay the start up of your base and that makes it quite a tricky choice which is cool. I managed the last two options together but took a few attempts.

Spoiler
Land CN and collect bertha
I didn't even know this was possible
For me many possibilities a good map does make!

Thanks for the advice, Yoda.
;)
Seriously, I have this one bookmarked and will try some of your tactics when I take another run at it.

Very cool challenge. It's entirely possible to beat this without killing any of the spore towers at the start.
I appreciate that this map has multiple approaches. It's fun being backed into a corner and having to blast your way out.
Thanks for the map! =)
