I admit to being stumped; can't seem to go NOWHERE NEAR fast enough.
When timer runs out, I still have at three chambers of queens to smite...
I'm assuming that means I have to go far enough north, but I don't have any clue when to do so, for it to be helpful and not just get me stuck right away.
Attached screenshot is my "best pace start"; if it is JUST efficiency, is that good?

Yeah, that was the first tactic I've tried, with the same result. You have to do something different.

I did try that even before... Given how many arrows there are, two spawns need to happen, but then some leftover roaches block 4-5 pairs of queens, so not ALL get funneled and it doesn't seem to lead to anything useful :(
How can I actually have all the queens go down?
Or do I need to do some crazy hybrid solution...??
