<div class="IPBDescription">Somethign needs to be done.</div> Ns_cage(I think) is a awful map, in the sense that marine have a huge disadvantage.

these include

-Nozzles too far away for the start point
-I think there a bug that allow alien to go into vent after they've been welded
-The map has way to many level, and pipes and overall clutter for the commander to be effective while placing things down..

Maybe a new version of the map can be released in a later version?

    ive won my first matches as command on this map, because its small and easy to learn.. and i had no probs w/ placing buildings or securing nozzles, after all there are only 4 nodes which are not inside a hive/ marine start.

    Caged is one of my favorite maps, a very useful Marine tactic is to use jetpacks and strike the aliens from the vents. If you look carefully, there's a vent near every Hive..

    Caged in my opinion is the best early commander level. Its small size and realitivly simple design make for an esaier time finding troops and organizing attacks.

    Cage is one of those...make or break maps. I think as a small simple map it's a good one to learn on. It can be diffucult but like all maps depends on the team and commander as well. A poor commander can be held up and helped by the team however...a poor team, even a good commander can lose.

    If you're having trouble on the map, like a lot of people are, try this guide that I wrote:

    It may help you out a bit.

    hmmmmm... I love caged. Having played on both the marine and alien side, I'd have to say that the resource nozzles are about equidistant from the respective spawn points.

    After vents have been welded, there's usually still an open side of the vent. For example, After the marines weld the vent that leads directly into their spawn, I usually go skulk, leap across the base, and hide in the vent... then I evolve to lerk, get some upgrades, and spike/umbra attack the base (or spore cloud if we have it). This could explain your 'bug', but Aliens are definitely not able to get into vents from the welded end post-weld.

    I've lost many times on caged as an alien. The commanders don't have any trouble building things if they know what they're doing.

    If you have issues with a map, contact the mapper and give him feedback. Do not drag it in the public.
