no tricks - but use runners blood to win ;)

I must admit I do not get this map.

Runners die on the right, releasing AC
I gather this AC, redistribute it to the left.

But.
The digi on the left conducts creeper towards me, and the dying runners there drop creeper.
This incoming creeper is GREATLY more than the AC created by the runners on the right, so I have absolutely no way of winning the battle of attrition.
None of my weapons can kill digi, so I cannot prevent the runners from reaching my island.

Tried this map several times, each time I die when the creep on the left becomes so deep that event he runner nest on the right gets swamped, despite every runner there dying and making AC in the process.

What am I missing?

Maybe less attack is sometimes more? But if you remove the threat in a different way, you'll fare way better?

Tell me if you'd prefer a more precise hint

I didn't gather any of the AC... if you just
Spoiler
don't kill the runners on the left
[close]
than it
Spoiler
doesn't produce so much creeper
[close]
and then you can
Spoiler
overpower the creeper with your AC
[close]
and have a chance to
Spoiler
win the game
[close]
.

Instead of gathering AC, you can just figure out a different method to clear the creeper away from the emitters and figure out how to power up a nullifier to kill stuff there.

Really not a tricky map, and a decent map for the old "Start it, Walk away for an hour,  then Clean up" strategy.

Thanks for the map!  ;D
You disagree with this sentence, don't you?
