so, build things for about 5 minutes, set speed to 4x. then walk away for the rest of the time? Absolutely no gameplay.

I'm disappointed that you'd even consider releasing this map into Colonial Space.

I have mixed feelings about this one. On the one hand, I really like spore attacks - and the totally random spores are kinda cool I suppose. At the very least, it's something different.

But I was hoping for - and perhaps even expecting - some kind of increasing threat. To me, that would have made a big difference as it would force us to find the optimal balance between reactors, bombers and/or cannons, and beams.

And as much as I go afk in a lot of maps anyway, it was weird and kinda uninteresting to have nothing to do and be forced to go afk. Make a map like this that's almost impossible and that would be interesting to a few of us perhaps.

I do like that the spores don't always attack the base, so you have to be prepared for splashes. But the splashes were only tiny puddles that a flea couldn't go wading in, so they really weren't a threat.
