As far as those upgrades, it would depend on human changes and if the other aspects of the aliens were nerfed. With the game as is, adding the changes would be the worst idea ever, with the exception of the advanced marauder zap. I say that because I see it forcing you to be pretty damn close, nearly touching. Marauders doing that would not be able to use their greatest strength, the wall jump, and therefore would die faster if they relied solely on their "zap aura".

Advanced Dragoons are already gotten in stage 2, I believe: correct me if I'm wrong. If they aren't, then making them available earlier could only serve to cause devastation unless the damage of those spines was lessened or some other means of nerfing the dragoon was used.

The basilisk having silent footsteps and a healing aura might be okay if the aura was small enough, but just smacking the tyrant's double-regen on it would be horrifying. Also, I personally think that should be an advanced basilisk thing, or the basilisks should stop being able to hold their enemies (which makes them not basilisks anymore, in my opinion.)

Of course, this all depends on human balances still. If the humans have similar increases and rearrangements of power, then it could easily be balanced out.

Heh, I suppose you're gonna do the coding?

Just play trem more, and get used to it... Lava is correct...

And chainsuits can take a rant down easily with good teamwork...you should actually try to be a rant sometimes... xD

Just don't go onto a big argument when you don't know that much of the game in the first place.

First of all: points to Breathe for talking and listening, people rarely manage both at once.

Secondly:

Unlagged gives me REALLY stupid connection glitches, like being connected but completely unable to move...

No it doesn't.
Please find out more about how unlagged operates before you blame your network issues on it.

By the way, Lava's references to basilisk healing auras etc. are probably references to mgdev - a server which hosts balance changes under the direction of Norfenstein, one of the dev team.
The balance on mgdev is actually not great at the moment, but it's in progress. There was a time when we'd have a game's difference in fifty or so between the teams, although this was largely because Norf would play whoever was behind to see what was causing trouble for them, and singlehandedly destroy anything the rest of us could throw at him

Thank God. Every post I see from him now is either pointless or annoying.


@Breathe: check out PureTremulous or Beergarden if there are people in the server sometime. There a good amount of high quality players and active admins.

[Revan]

Breathe welcome to tremulous

I am forced to agree with the others; you should play a lot more than 10 or even 100 games, but also ignore Lava Croft if you look at the archives you will find he is capable of nonsense to no end (and down goes my karma!)

[blood2.0]

ya play a lot then right the manual for us, please 

[Lava Croft]

Or even better, fix Tremulous' broken balance, like so many!

[Sakura-chan/Tsunade]

Btw breath whats your ingame name

Anyone know lucy? lucy

[Amtie]

She already said it was Breathe, if you read above somewhere.

[techhead]

The mara zap has a short starting range and a longer cutoff range before it stops. So yes, a skilled marauder can become a wall-jumping electric whirlwind.
Balance is somewhat skewed towards aliens on MGDev, but I blame in part the insane dragoon splash range. (It has been since fixed)
Also, turrets are stupid. But, they do have a kind of thuggish brutality when they realize there is actually an alien there.

the stats say otherwise (although perhaps "the balance is somewhat skewed towards norf on MGDev" is a more accurate statement)

The stats are purely based on WHO plays there. It doesn't really matter so much about the "balance" changes.

Breathe have you played SST? it is not the standard bp so I will get flamed for suggesting it but there are occasionally epic survivals (IMNSHO) of lone marauders that live alone for 10-15 minutes

[Despairation]

I believe Breate mentioned that she was moving and she would be back to the forums in a few months.

That is one reason I would never want to go there.

[Survivor]

Epic lone marauder owning is a sight to see. But on a server where presumably the other team has such an abundance of buildpoints and opponents it's quite sad.

[doomagent13]

SST is down to 200 bp from 260, so the bases are nowhere hear as hard to kill, but rather just take time and effort...  If there are just a few aliens left with about 20+ people on, we (the admins) usually lock aliens, just to end it quicker...  Anyway, with a decent number of players, the 200 bp works just fine.

[Dracone]

Not sure if by owning you mean simply surviving, but I believe that's what Revan is getting at. Marauders can be tricky on the run. Players skilled at making precise jumps with the mara can go some serious distances if they making the right decisions.

Draikonz and Anger both have the ability to do live AND own alone I'd say, although Anger appears to be gone from actually playing. But they are both very very good at certain trick jumping methods as well as killing with marauders.

[Survivor]

My point was more towards the fact that on a server with reasonably high playercounts and bp setting up ambushes for marauders who have no base to hide in or other aliens to hide behind shouldn't be hard, assuming that the humans still have their own base up and running.

[Dracone]

Right. Same is true for every alien class actually, ambushes will do the job on any occassion. Just gotta get the actual kill done. If you really have to take the time to set one up, like for very good rants, get weapons that suit your position as well.

Good story related to this:

Around February 07, when the original Zilla was still around, BodyOrgan was an absolute beast and quite literally ALWAYS dominated, no matter how good his opposition was. He still owns hard but isn't very active.

Anyhow, we were at ATCS one night, and the humans killed the alien base. BodyOrgan was the sole survivor, with a tyrant. I think he had roughly 70 kills and it was about 15-20 minutes in. So, on the human team, it's me and maybe 3 or 4 other Zilla members, with 3 or 4 other good players alongside us. So he had about 8 or so skilled players staring him down.

Well, we set up ambushes, brutal rushes, damn near everything we could think of. Nothing worked. Try new things, we got nothing.

SD came, and we went deeper in. Body was just going genocide on our asses. It felt like forever. We weren't even coming CLOSE to killing him.

Anyhow, at like 45-50 minutes, he eventually owned us all, killed our base, and won. He went like 30 minutes alone against, like I said, 8 or so skilled players and a good base and got up to 220 kills and won the game. I'll never forget that, we were so sad.

WOW, thats better than anything I ever did! that deserves an award of some sort.
