I tried using the right side, but got eaten up pretty quickly.
Do you have a screenshot at about the 2-3 minute mark?
Thanks,

Spoiler

Dont='t have a screen shot but I started with two CNs on the right and quickly supplemented with AC guppies from the left.

Excellent map.  10 from me.

Sorry, I didn't save this map but you only need one CN on the right side - I think I built an ore mine and a sprayer right away. After clearing a little space, I moved the sprayer behind the CN to let AC pile up a bit.

The spores do very little damage, so the only thing that should die from a hit would be your power supplies. Since the targeting is random, when you get a chance you can fly a guppy to the left AC pool and build some collectors to draw fire. They won't die in the deep AC.

Anyway, not that you need to use this strategy. It makes it challenging, but not challenging enough to save or pause.

If someone wants to remake this map with only 1 CN available and the only landing spot on the right side, I'll play it and save it so you can see a screenshot.

Ew, that would be hard.
With 2 CN on the right, one has enough energy to build defenses before the creep overruns. But just one? owch.

Still, it might be doable. And having access ( even if indirect) to near-infinite AC is a very potent tool.

[Johnny Haywire]

Yeah, it's doable with only one CN. Not easy, but just gotta manage your initial energy efficiently.

What helps in this map (besides the crazy pool of AC) is that the spores are very weak.  ;)

There are spores?

I sure didn't notice.

(okok, i saw them. and ignored them. even a thin layer of AC protects, so  pfffht! to the spores )
