<div class="IPBDescription">Some one start a poll plz</div> I have a proposal:
Multiple (2) gorges are a valid tactic at the start of a game.
Now I never get to try this on a pub server as every one starts calling you a n00b - etc - its crap - your crap - kick him etc.
How many people think multiple gorges are a valid strat?
Not sure if this is the correct place for this post - can some one create a poll for this question.
i.e 1 Gorge is the maximum, 2 gorges in possible etc
All the servers I play on seem to think that one gorge is the only option.

1. A good idea - because they have seen it work <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

3. A bad idea - because it always fails <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Most of the time I'll gorge after the second hive is being built without asking (gets you kicked sometimes but it doesn't matter). It's a simple matter of being able to add and knowing how much res your team has and what upgrades. Of course, if you suck at gorge or don't know what you're doing...hehe...
Start off with one gorge, once he places the first resnode someone else gorges too.
They both build res nodes for a while until they have 3 or 4.
Then one gorge saves for the hive, the other builds more res, chambers, and *gasp* supports the frontline troops. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> If he dies well, hey, all that res above 33 just went to the first gorge. Faster hive anyway.
So it's a win-win situation. Personally, I'm usually the 'first' gorge on an alien team, and I don't mind if someone else gorges with me.

On a team of newbs you are probably better off with 1 gorge.
On a team of good players you *might* be better off with 2, depending on the situation.
Sometimes you need 4 just to stay alive.
