Title: The Best Way to Make a Base
Post by: mathchamp on August 10, 2008, 02:56:00 am

There's that worst way to make a base thread. How about the good bases?

How about an example from Escape (it was 1v1 and aliens never reached s2):

|                                                |
|                                                |
|                                                |
|               :turret:              :turret:             |
|------------ :turret::turret:  :turret::turret:------------|
                 |              |
                 |      :turret:     |
                 | :medstat:    :human:   |
                 | :armoury:      :telenode: |
                 | :reactor:      :telenode: |
                  ----------- (forgot some of the exact building locations)

Changed to this in S3:

|                                                |
|                                                |
|                                                |
| :dretch:                                            |
|------------ :turret::turret:  :turret::turret:------------|
                 |  :tesla:     :tesla: |
                 |     :battlesuit:      |
                 | :medstat:          |
                 | :armoury:      :telenode: |
                 | :reactor: :defcomp:  :telenode: |
                  ----------- (forgot some of the exact building locations)

of course if the aliens reached S3 it would be easily sniped.

Here's one from Orion 1 Beta 2 (lots of people use this, or anything based on it)

         |-------------------|

no rants getting there, but again, vulnerable to sniping at S3 by adv. goons (took two adv. goons against two humans to eventually take this down, 1 ret at a time. Humans were s2)

1 vs 1 and 2 vs 2. I don't need to say more do I?

the base is good, until the granger reaches dretch stage.

You forgot to put tents and paraffin cookers in the human bases.
