I very seldom enjoy - or even play - restricted/limited games.
This one was an exception and well worth playing.
Thanks.

Easy?!?!

No meaningful beams vs a bunch of spore towers. No guns. No terps on badlands. How can you call this easy?

It's not fair that shields take just as much damage from the very wimpy spores you are firing as they do from killer spores.

LOL! You want some cheese to go with that whine?
Look at the scores posted. Obviously there are ways to beat this in a 'quick and easy' manner.
Since you can't figure that out, why not ask for some hints/help?

Just so you know, I have no power over damage/health. I would really like to play with those numbers if it was possible.

It was fairly easy and really fun. The only thing you really have to do is slather every square tile in a thick blanket of anti-creeper, and build up a lot of redundant collectors to spread out the spores.

That;s what I did

This looks harder than it is. You can play this from start to finish at max speed with no pausing or stress. Once you build up AC to a level of 8 or higher, the spores won't hurt you. And if you're really overly-cautious on Sorrontis' maps as I am, you can build beams in the corner PZ's and let the whole map soak in AC just in case there's a nasty surprise waiting for you when you kill the inhibitor. Or you could save the game I suppose, but that kills the suspense. Flex a bit. Grit your teeth. This is a weird map that might start out a bit of frustration but after a while you will feel like Superman (or Supergirl) with kids shooting Nerf bullets at you.

This may be Sorrontis' least-evil map I've ever come across. No offense, m8! Still a fun map! ;D

i really like we can have such different approaches to mapping in this game!

i am forgiving to a fault, and you, my good human, are as mean as it is possible to be ;), and both of us are able to entertain people in this game courtesy of V! :) 8)

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Or me either!

Tek's maps cost me a lot less, though. My shrink charges $200/hr for an after-Sorrontis-map session. I've heard that swimming with dolphins can help too, but it's a bit too cold here for that.

New map for both of you when you feel like it. It's totally easy
