Yeah, that'd definitely work. I love timing the spores so they all hit at exactly the same time, but if every PZ also had a beam there's no way that'd work. Not a big fan of hidden units, but on a PAC it makes sense. If you don't hide the units, there area  lot more PZ's for the player to use which would make it too easy.

Thanks for the tip! =)

Great map! Thanks Martin for the tip.

Martin? I've never been so insulted in my life! Well, actually maybe I have. Ok, yeah now that I think about it I've been called worse but I mean still, that's pretty low. What's next? Sorrontis? =P

Very nice speedrun map, if you like that sorta thing.

I'm glad I didn't look at the forums first - managed a decent time all by me onesies on my first try. I see how Dom got his time though since I probably built about 10 nullifiers and tons of other unnecessary stuff.

If you like a good speedrun, you should try this one. If you beat my time, I'll buy you a faster blue turning looker idea.

Thanks for the map! =)

Just assumed he had beams in just about every PZ because they're all hidden.

Spoiler

On this map there were actually only beamers on the second and last islands, and they are all singles.

The one strategic element that's removed, unfortunately, is spores.

A single PZ beamer can be drained of energy by enough spores ;)

My strategy remained pretty much unchanged, just a bit slower.

Spoiler

A sneaky bridge in the top section to the second island and then barreling across the top once you have enough spores to break a PZ beamer

Totally agree with Johnny here. On this map, spores are amazing. At some point I stopped building emitters and switched to spore towers, just for the sadistic satisfaction of watching the enemy's energy get starved, so their beams sat there without ammo, allowing my spores to advance closer and closer to the CNs.

Oh, interesting. I didn't use any spores at all until I got to the final row. Maybe if he makes a third version of this I'll try some spores. Just assumed he had beams in just about every PZ because they're all hidden.

Just found this map, and it's definitely worth playing.

Judging from the scores, some players struggle with this map. If you can't do it the hard way, do it the easy way. Put all 3 of your CN's in the lower-left corner and just establish a base there. Get your tech up and hold out until you can push forward.

Great job recreating this battle, as best as CW3 permits!

Thanks for the map! =)
