Hard PAC map with evil and clever Berthas.

Tricky start (hint in spoiler):

I uploaded screenshots for "spiral start" in forum of my first map:

That does the start but I'm up to six PZs and stuck again. Spores die basically instantly, the only emitter that can possibly make progress doesn't and now the berthas keep pounding it.

Nice touch the screenshot.

Spores are useless in the early game.

Juicy runners on the other hand...

Once you take out the Beam on the PZ you can fire a spore from the centre into the void to help take the first nest, then the chaos begins!

Now that might be worth trying. I couldn't keep enough of a connection to that nest to make it worth anything.

very difficult map just look at it can't do it.

multiple auto-berthas, yay!...said nobody, ever. Wish we could find a new trick past 'you have to do this map exactly 1 way, or you're going to get stuck and waste a lot of time'. At some point, realize it's a game and should be entertaining. Would love to see a map that could have 2, or heck, even 3! gameplay styles to win. Not going to get that here, I get it. Just something to strive for.
