Obviously the pools provide protection--but I can't see how to get enough to survive, especially when that 10-spore tower comes online.

the 10x spore-tower must never fire

In my opinion, another great map, AlexX!
Neither very hard, nor easy.
Honestly, a proper fight!
I like most aspect of it.
Berthas could be included, though.
I actually missed them!
The fight would also be shorter then.
Occasionally, I was missing something else.
Read the first letters in this message! Please!

thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, we have different opinions about Bertha. I only have 20's emitters. this is also relatively quick. it took me a little over an hour. D can probably do it in 30 minutes. But it's great that you always take the time for feedback.

did you see the first letter in each line? ;)

I loved the map, my feedback is partly joke and partly true.

Fun map with a challenging but not impossible start.

I do disagree with your comment about the 10x spore tower, however.

Spoiler

I started in the very bottom of the bottom middle island. You have enough time to build up a little bit and destroy the emitter in the middle of that island. With a beam on the resulting PZ plus 2 or 3 more you can defend against the 10x spore tower plus the smaller ones until you can eliminate it.

Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your approach.
Of course it is possible to catch the 10 spores - but why would you do it?

Did everyone start at the tallest bottom island? Not counting killing the spore tower.

Yes, but I didn't kill the 10x spore tower until after I had the starting island completely controlled.

Nice map Alex, would of worked well with AC or normal runners.

Spoiler

Bottom island for me and then take the 10spore early and use the island for connecting to other islands.
The key for me was snipers on PZs to maximise the AC then collect that AC by breaking the digitalis and using a sprayer set to disarm collecting the AC

[close]

30 mins very much possible, I messed up a bit and forgot a nest at then end and forgot to protect a PZ relay when the digitalis went down.

I'm not going much faster using this route.

Loren - would you like some tips on how to speed up your game? Attach some screen grabs on this (or any map that you have completed) at 1,2,5 and 10 minutes and I will compare notes with what i do differently. It would be interestong if a few of us did this to see the different approaches.

nice idea. I make a new map and post my approach.
