I can't emphasize enough how excellent this is, Flatline. I hope you can find some time to make guides like these for other levels and hopefully the good guys at PNS will host them all. This had some points that I myself had not even considered, and I've been playing this map many months more than regular players could have. Cogent, organized, and complete. Great work.

Wow Flatline, that was very informative. PLEASE write more, that is if you are any good at other maps <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I wonder about your building locations though. If you cram all of your buildings together, I imagine if the enemy gets 3 hives they can do a lot of damage with bile bombs and xenocide to them. I suppose though that you deserve that if you let them get 3 hives <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo-->
BTW first post on here and not my last. I need to learn more about this game so I decided to get on the forums to learn the better strategies.

I'm thinking of that one map with the eclipse hive, computer core, and the other one. The marines have a nice big base with the entrances with doors both on one wall on either side of the resource node.
edit2 - i see now you look at the scores and the map name is there <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

I'd like a guide to nothing or nancy, or maybe eclipse. I haven't played those maps much (memorizing bast and hera takes time, y'know!), and everytime I play on them I get stomped by players that know the map better than I. Just a small request.
My bast guide has not gotten a lot of progress recently, as finals are painful, oh so painful. I'll see if I can get some work done on it. If anyone has some good screenshots or maps that they would let me use, please email them to me (<a href='mailto:narfwak@yahoo.com'>narfwak@yahoo.com</a>).
I think someone needs to do a guide for marines on nancy, it seems that whenever the marines lose its because they cant walk 10 ft without a skulk chomping their intire group to shreds.. oh wait scan should fix this.. mebbi I WILL try comming on this map <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Nothing has got soo many tricks for sieging in it, its worse than hera.
Well right now it looks like the next guide I write will be over ns_nancy - but like I've said, I don't know if I'll have the time to get it up anytime soon.
great guide, this is one of my favorite maps. The best challenge is being an alien against a good commander, i LOVE doing that. Anyway, where did you get such a nice, detailed top down picture of the map? I sure would like a copy for each stage.....
This will help my clan alot. Thanks <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
