Every morning there's somebody getting up with the strong urge for a long and heroic fight - Why not fight this cute little octopussy. OK, there are too much runners, too many spores, little space to start, strong emitters, limited tech, in general too much creeper on the map... But beside THAT...

Tough start but I enjoyed it, I love a big battle map though.

One CN can collect two berthas from the off. You can defend for the first few mins with one mortor and one cannon, all energy needs to go into reactors for as long as you can! Getting a forge and a guppy can wait a few mins but not much longer.

Thanks!
In fact I missed the first thing you've spoiled - but to be honest, I think *I* wouldn't take much advantage from that - looking at your great score, I believe that you could ;)

You can collect more than that but I wanted two CNs building reactors from the off!

Just finished it. Loved the very tight and challenging open. Would have preferred to not have such a slog at the end, but it was an enjoyable battle.

Thanks!
Yep, that was a slog map - Every now and then it just has to be 8).
