Hints - if wanted:

Spoiler

-first focus on energy-management
- guppy needed 2 takeout some sporetowers (I recommend paying particular attention to energy management here and prioritizing it in the context of "sporetower-time")
[close]

...more hints if wanted

That chain reaction took some effort to get going but worth it!

The major spores can all be taken out early.

You probably know that: sometimes when you have designed a map and then you play it for the first time,  you are more concerned with your design ideas than the actual game...

Based on prior maps, I built some Snipers and sent them out searching for AC bugs.
I was surprised to find there were none to be found, so started doing my normal build-out/attack.
About 20 (game) minutes later, I found out I made a mistake.
(As I recall, the last time that happened was in about 1963 and involved...well, never mind.)

Anyway, taking a break for some yard work and will start this one from scratch later.

Thanks X. You've developed a winning type of design and it is fun to play.

let me guess... 1963... you invented the tape recorder before Phillips and scrapped the idea because you thought it had no future

Trying this one again and still looking for the right start sequence.
Anyone have a screen grab at the 3-4 minute mark?

Thanks,
