Post by: czaja1026 on April 22, 2006, 02:58:26 pm

Hey ..
This is maybe small problem but if 1 alien build shovel (that shell) any other alien ca't build it too .. Delete that please 1 alien should have 1 shovel (grangers of course :P )
Oh btw: Can u add buildable , destructable walls ? 4 blocking enemies something like barricade but look like wall and harder to destroy :P

You can indeed not build more than 1 hovel. But on the other hand a hovel is free (though about as useful for hiding as a nuclear reactor for growing plants).

Use Hovel as free wall. It's second toughest building after overmind, and has very fast regeneration.
(if I remember correctly, 370 life and 20 regeneration)

Sitting in a hovel is asking for trouble - don't do it. Remember, hovel is available at stage3. Even assuming humans don't level up faster than you, your hovel will be attacked with pulse rifle, grenades, lucifer cannon. Its safer to just hide somewhere.
Hovel could be somewhat useful if it was available on stage2, and/or regenerated granger/nearby grangers.

I've never actually seen anyone use a hovel ... I've never used one either ... it just doesn't seem useful ... sitting in a little box waiting for the end. Maybe if it were mobile it would be of some use ... like have one of grangers inside drive the hovel around (just add wheels), dodging lucifer balls and pulse rifle flack ... and it'll be damn fun to drive, and it'll be about as fast as a gretch :D

Heh, now that could work. Too bad you can only have one hovel, otherwise one might organize a racing contest :).

Actually I saw some grangers get into one once, then it was promptly blown away with a grenade. :D
