Map #77. That is why Spore Tower with 7 spores. Not dangerous! :)
But be careful with very strong runners in right/up side of map. ;)
Good luck! :)

How deep do you intend to take the nested sevens?

Awesome map, I took my sweet time to enjoy playing it. You see, I don't play to win, I play to enjoy the game and the challenges, and you made my day. Thank you.

Thank You for so kind comment! :-[ :)
I also like this map and played several time to enjoy and one time for best score. ;)
I am not evil, but right/up runners very evil... How it was? Difficult?

The top-right runners were a non-issue for me.

Spoiler

When I got a few freeze/AC AoC units, I used them to easily take the top-right area. Once I had that, terped the power zones to make room for berthas and it was smooth sailing from there.

Yes. You are right! This is one of the build-in trick/option of map! But not only one! ;)

Thank You again! After Your good comment I started to create new map. :)

But how big difference in opinion! Just now came evil hater and rated this map "1"!
And he stopped my intention to create something interesting... :( :(

As has been said before: Ignore the ratings. Particularly, don't stop building an interesting idea purely because one person disliked a previous map. Difficulty causes chronic low ratings.

stdout · April 29, 2016, 09:27:32 PM

Definitely don't let one (or even a few) 1 ratings discourage you. Your maps are excellent!!!

You are right. But to create a game mapmaker (at least I) need good feeling/mood. :) And "unfair play" kill it.

P.S. To haters: "If you don't want to read the book, then don't buy (download) it. But it is not necessary to burn it!" :)
