My first PAC map. For veterans it might be easy, but it's not as easy as it might look. Have fun! #PAC #play as creeper #CRPL

Great to have another PAC maker! At first I thought this would be pretty easy, but it definitely turned out to be a battle. Great job!

Stumped. I can get the 7 zones in the NW but I can't expand from there.

I personally used spores to work my way across the north side (make sure you time them to go at the same time). It took 5 spores and a bit of time. Once I got to the NE, I made both of the PZs there into spores and aimed them south until I was able to take out the first CN. Then it was just a matter of powering through to a few more PZs with amped up emitters.

Thanks for the reviews and thanks for the AWESOME play mode!!

For all who fear to get into mapmaking for PAC maps. It's fairly easy to get started, just try it. I thought for myself, it would be much more complicate ;)

For the map,...

Spoiler

as zimmer said, just try to go from top north west to the east side with spore towers. After u get the outer PZ's go south and beat the map! 8)

More maps might come ::)

One for shure!

I wasn't able to do this--I could kill things but I couldn't hold terrain because the PZ cannons would keep killing my digitalis.

I had the entire top covered with digitalis. Once I got to the middle PZ I put an emitter in there to help with spreading the dark blue digitalis. I had to watch out for nullifiers but it wasn't too hard to keep that one. The PZs on the NE were definitely hard to get and hard to keep. It just took patience and continually sending the spores to different locations to keep the enemies from being rebuilt. When I finally was able to get dark blue digitalis under one of the NE PZs I put an emitter in it first in order to be able to get the second one covered. Once that was covered I put a spore in it, and deleted the emitter to replace with a spore. Two spores are enough to move South and spread your digitalis. This is NOT an easy map so don't be surprised if it takes a while to get those NE PZs.
