THANK YOU for including a "Pop All Eggs" button. I didn't find it terribly useful on this map, but it's a feature that is sorely missing from most LPAC maps. I hope others copy this feature going forward.

Love your maps, and couldn't agree more on the Pop All Eggs Button! :)

[alche]

oh god yes, the pop all eggs is sooooo welcome

[Hatsee]

Can you make the pop eggs button a bit larger?  In the future I mean.

Excellent map, and thanks for the "pop all the eggs" button!

Took me ~1h21mn I think.
I usually go for the factory but feared they would rebuild it and so I simply sniped the airbase before focusing on the specials in the corner. Then it became a fight for each AC-field and trial&error to know where eggs would work. I thought zeppelins would be the main hurdle but eventually even they couldn't keep up.

AC-boost is well-balanced. You can still up the blobs/spores/skimmers if you want, though infinite resources and zeppelins makes that kind of pointless. So all of my boosts eventually went into more creeper.
AC-boost also made an AC-spawner a mid-goal, which really helped give the map some pace. I always had a short-term target in mind. Likewise, the power-ups transferring to new turrets helped keep up strategy by providing new targets of interest.

Late game started to get grindy mostly because of infinite energy: I should have sniped that crate dozens of minutes ago, that would have saved me so much time. At the same time, the amount of AC makes it hard to handle eggs: you really have to pile them up at some point for them to have an effect. While that crate was in place, eggs/rocks did little and it was all about creep output, which is more passive.

It might be the first PAC map where I used the pause.

this map and your other one is broken. not getting option to pick difficulty or get any resources to start attacking. (eg eggs, rocks, boosters)

You need Verizon 2.4 of the game.
