I liked this map a lot!

[D0m0nik]

Yeah really good. Sometimes this type of map can be very linear but this one can be done in so many different ways. I didn't go top left until the last minute and then noticed the totem!

Would have been nice to see more action bottom right but didn't detract from a top notch map.

first unit I killed was the

potentially nasty spore tower

Thank you both. I will now try to play the map "normally". So far I've only been in developer mode :-)

Are you the mapmaker Rennervate?

How did you intend this map to be approached?

yes... I'm still trying to figure out the best way. I've restarted probably 50 times already. I've decided to always stop at 40 minutes and try another method. Unbelievable how fast D0m0nik was again.
maybe he'll tell us that one day

I built the base on

the white spot, but killed the 8 spores spore tower first, or rather made it possible to kill it

My focus was just to get the maximum amount of reactors built whilst defending from the spores. I didn't expand much at the start, just took the few islands to the bottom left of the CN landing spot and got the forge up and running. I sent a guppy and a few cannons top right to get the aether. The key with this one is not to overstretch, to properly turtle is actually the fastest way!

nice

[Martin Gronsdal]

in general I don't like maps with limited aether scattered all over, where you have to make it possible to fly the CN to get pickups and solve almost impossible riddles, but this one, somehow, I did like a lot!

Thx. I tried that similarly. but I can't come close to your great time. I'll try to optimize then :-)

we agree on that. it wasn't my intention at first to create such a map. but then one thing led to another

my comment was a joke, take a look at my maps and you'll understand  8)

your map is very good!
