How to win Alpha - Redlemon - Runnerup?
This map too small and spores too much!
Help me, please!

I did it like this. From this point base should be secure from anything and you can proceed however you like.

Ah, that was a fun mapIt's quite hard to get a foothold on that map. Me, I decided I didn't want Runners around, so I put myself between the Digitalis-making Emitter and the top-right Nest. The top nest would only get connected in 7 minutes or so.

So be really tight at the start, maximise Collector coverage before even thinking about Reactors, stop resupplying your weapons whenever they keep you from building up. Once you get a Power Zone, you're safe, although the bottom-left of the map is a pain to clear (in a good way).

I still had a save of my first PZ, so here's a picture at 5:29.
