Desc:
A #PAC map with islands. Or ships trying to mine ore? Maybe a secret creeper research facility gone wrong.

I don't get how to start. None of the PZ are reachable (or at least I did't find how).

any advice ?

[GuiZe]

Same here, I can't seem to find how to reach a new PZ before being countered by AC. Any help please ?

Finally beat it :

First, you a have a limited time before AC floods the starting point. At this point it's too late.

The first PZ is the one at left, downmost. To reach it (several attempts and reload required), I had to play with fields.
First,, I target south west, not to the PZ, but just under the "square" (around the direction of 7/8 on a clock).
This will put some creepeer paquets out of reach of some canons.
This small load of creeper may then be sent to the PZ.
Alternative loading creeper at the very bottom of the screen then pushing it to the PZ eventually, if properly timed and with a high amount of luck, the PZ will be digitalised.
The remaining of the map, is not easy, but does not have a hard point like the start.

globally, I liked the map. Except the start which is too difficult, it's well balanced.

Thanks, I was able to reach my first PZ just after posting my message (guess it brings luck !)

Spoiler

Funny, I took the right PZ first, instead of the left one

This map I got stuck at a later point than the start, thanks for the early game walkthrough, but I am surrounded by space and 4 beams sitting in powerzones with either 2 guppies to recharge them and 2 more with cns to recharge them. Converting almost every emitter to making phantoms does not make enough phantoms to deplete the powerzone beam and preventing me from being able to cross the void.

Hint:

Spoiler

beams have limited range, even on a powerzone

This one is an actual solution to your problem, which could be something you didnt know about pac maps

Spoiler

you can land a spore on the void and spread digitalis there

Absolutely crazy hard start, followed by a ton of fun rampaging through the rest of the map. I might drop the initial difficulty just a smidge, but man I had a great time once I got my legs under me.
Thanks for a great map!
