Aha!
A quick look tells me this one is going to be even more fun.
Will give it a go later.
Thanks,

Great map, extremely difficult start. I am glad that I won but very unhappy with my time. I'll have to do this one again! ;D

Doesn't make any difference for me, when the big towers come on line I die, I simply can't generate enough power.
some screenshots if needed
Spoiler!
That is one busy game!
It starts out really busy trying to beat the monster Spore attacks, and after you get that under control you have to start running multiple attacks on all the islands.
A long and fun map.
Thanks a lot.
H
great that you like it
You get pretty sneaky with some of your Emitters and Spore Towers.
There were some that I had no clue how to attack and had to resort to 'Floating' the CN to power up the Nullifiers.
Need a break and a cup of coffee before trying another one today.

Don't forget the sneaky guppy trick where you can land a guppy and build a nullifier in the same spot.
Explain that Dp please

Aha! I wasn't being aggressive enough at the start.
that's usually my fault too

The one where you send a guppy and then a split second later return it to base. The guppy still flies to the destination but you can place another unit in the same spot. There are a few maps using this trick lately.
You have to be fast. So fast, that it's better to pause the game, send guppy, then tap unpause/pause twice almost as fast as you can, then send guppy home, build what you want and unpause again.
Homeless Guppies and magic Nullifiers.
All y'all are trying to teach old dogs new tricks (but I sure could have used that one here).
Might just have to replay this one.
Thanks,
H

After all these years I learned something new! Awesome trick, thank you.
Tip: press the letter n to advance a single frame while paused. One frame is all that's needed to activate the guppy before telling it to return to base.

could you not just use "n" and advance the game one frame or maybe a few frames? 8)
