Poor Grangers !
« on: April 06, 2006, 10:56:48 am »
Just wanted to say a Granger's life is very, very boring.

- low hp, low speed, no or very little combat potential.
- bases become fully developed very quickly, because there's a hard limit on how much you can build. Once the limit is reached, you have absolutely nothing to do. As far as I know, you can't even repair anything, at least it's not documented.

in NS, builders at least can perform support roles with web and healing spray. Oh, and the acid spit is much better. If I remember correctly, you can't evolve to dretch, so you're forced to spend some points.

A granger can evolve to dretch at no cost.

So it's always a good idea to spawn as a granger, check if the base need new buildings then evolve to dretch for a short and bloody life and restart the cycle over and over gain.

That is the alien way.

Humans can have a specialized builder since he can actually repair buildings.

u can use grangers as offense as well... when they evolve to adv grangers just follow some dragoons and tyrants and shoot down jetpackers that they cant reach... u dont have to keep building in base ya know...help out the others by making their life easier by building closer spawns...

u guys focus to much on the cons of these critters instead of looking at the pros and utilizing them...

You're right. I would also like to emphasis that one should never play the same class (granger, dragoon,etc.) for a whole game. It's more sensible to follow a simple rule of thumb.

In a non-emergency situation, always spawn as Granger.
Then, if you feel the base is well defended, evolve as Dretch and go hunting.
Else, stay to defend the base.

If everyone follow this simple rule of thumb, the base will always be defended and there will always be attackers.

Would you rather have them being shot? I'll take a base hugger over a feeder anyday.
