I know there are some NS strat guides out there but has anyone made a strat guide for every map?( the basic official maps caged,nancy,nothing etc.)


I have made a huge strat guide for NS one I beleive would help a team win plus some others.

The Strat Guide I made includes overviews of maps with key places marked for mini-base setups

Rines:

relocation tactics, weapon rushes,plain rushes,turret and mine rushes,seige rushes etc.

tf and turrets at every entrance into rine base works well on eclipse,nancy,nothing,tanith,caged etc.

forward mini-bases at every marine capped res nodes 2 tf's(upgraded to seige),turrets,phase gates,armory and observatory for seige scanning and comchairs (incase original base is wipedout).All this res depending

flanking positions and more

Aliens:

Rushes- skulk,gorge,lerk,fade,onos

offense tower spamming at key parts of map- in hives and everywhere else plus setting up def and off near marine bases and in vents etc.

flanking positions-hiding places etc.

gorge Bile bomb rushes,spit rushes,lerk spike rushes,spore rushes

Fade acid rocket rushes etc.

Sounds like a good idea, I suppose. The only problem is that there are an infite number of strats you can use on any given map, so it would be impossible to cover them all. However, I like the way you've tried to come up with something for both sides. I'd love to see it.

This reminds me folks (thanks chaos!) -

Anyone wishing to submit a link or download to NS strategy guides to readyroom.org, please feel free to do so. I really want to add a stratgey section with plenty of resources for new players. I'll also be happy to point to other site's strategy guides as well, to help boost your hits <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> .

Uber Strat Guide v1.0

Marines: Jp/HMG rush = win

Aliens: Prevent JP/HMG rush by any means, chew RTs and slow the Marines teching up long enough to get a second hive.
NOTE: if marines are good enough you ain't got a chance in hell.

Can't wait for 1.1 <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

thanx Misfit,Mons and the rest <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> lol

<!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> Well it might take me alittle time cause the strat guide is big and plus
with overviews it may take alittle time uploading or whatever, I'll try n see what I can do,I don't have a scanner but my dad does.I'll see what I can do about transferring them to my dads comp then drawing/marking all the places for minibase setups etc then sending them.

Due to past comp probs I can't use MSPaint or photoshop pro or something cause something messedup alot files and rendered paint useless but I can still view pics though.I can use MSPaint on my dad's comp.


Also sorry that I have no idea how to do links or download links or upload stuff to sites that'll host stuff.


the strats I'm currently working on are for ns_atomicmass21 all the others r done.

One thing I'd like to see is the 'squad tactics' that all ye people speak of. I dont find it surprising that (according to Grendel or someone complaining in the beta forum) vets dont use 'squad tactics'. I dont think they know what they are...I sure as hell dont. Do you just like move together and all try to hit the same thing every time? And wouldnt moving close together mean skulk food?

If someone can gimme a link to a site where it shows the tactics that real soldiers use, thatd be cool too. I just wonder what these are and if they actually apply to ye average game of Natural-Selection.

Would be kinda interesting to try out RL tactics in NS. But it just might fail disastrously, after all those were made for fighting humans. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I think the stickies in the "Frontiersmen Strategy" and "Kharra Strategy" in the forums would more than enuf complete a decent strat book.
Map specifics, may need further yet validated searches.

CobraChaos

Some of the stuff I put together is some stuff that is allready being used,and the other strats are things that I have tried personally (made up),and most of them are successful.

Well for starters go check the stickied posts in Frontiersmen stradgey <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Infected_Marine

Uber tactic = relocation outside of alien spawn. Single most powerful tactic ever in NS (for rines). Nothing else needs to be said.

<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Most of the stuff I put together is for "Marine Domination of the map"

leaving aliens with like 1 or 2 res
