You are dangerously close to having a monopoly on maps rated "1", dude! Grats! First time through I only saw the spore danger then realized my base was getting overrun with creeper. Duh.
For this map, I think just having the spore + creeper danger would be sufficient to challenge most players. Throwing those pesky runners in the bottom increases the difficulty even further.
I can confirm that there are no tricks, and you can actually choose one or more ways to survive. For instance, to attack creeper you can spend 100 energy on one sprayer & 2 ore mines which then will require no energy, or you can build 2 reactors, which will provide roughly enough energy to power a blaster or other weapon. Do you build more weapons or more economy first? If you lose this map, you answered that question incorrectly. Thankfully, you can always save the game and reload and choose a different answer.
Thanks for another challenging map!!
Thanks!
