    -=Bump for those who still don't know=- Btw, the demo is ONLY humans, so theres no beasts in the demo, but it's still fun when you get to swing an axe around and basicly chop someones head clear off. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Very cool, thanx for the info. I've been watching this game a bit and I didn't want to go out and buy it right away without playing it a bit first.

    Although I probably won't buy it anyway, I'm flat broke after buying Halo for my PC. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Np, btw a bit of a tip, use incenerator on the Legionair if you're a nomad. It works pretty good if you can keep out of range of that huge axe.

    Legionnare + marksmans bow + 3 medpacks = I killed the enemy team ^^;

    I literally ran into their base from 1 direction while the rest of my team came from the other and I wiped out everything in my path which is kinda funny considering it meant they ignored the huge assault trundling in from the other side and some of the things in my way were actually buildings.
    The worst part is they didn't even kill me <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    That's what I do, I save 1 or 2 medpacks for a quick retreat when I run low on health. Legionannares are the onos of this game for the human side. It's just so fun smashing your axe agianst the enemy. :]

    I like savages... Legionannares are just too slow. Yeah, their attacks to huge damage, but thats not too great considering the slow rate of fire and slow overall movement.. I've gone one on one with a legionannare as a nomad and won. Actually, now that I think of it, I often win one on one against Legionannares.. Its too easy to dodge their attack <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Thats why savages kick butt. They are faster and still do quite a bit of damage.
    Of course, being an NS player I usually stay back and help build/mine/seach out mines during the early parts of the game, so I don't often have enough money to go legionannare as soon as everyone else does. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Good game, kinda a pain to get people to listen to the commander as they're all off creeping to level up (like me).

    Lotta enemies heavily guard one side of their base with loads of towers, while leaving the other completely undefended. I ran by one of their assaults on a fortified area we controlled, went the opposite path that they were coming from, and waltzed right into their base. I was only a nomad though, so I got out of visible range of their base and told the commander to start setting up an assault area for us all to spawn from and mutilate them. But we were being attacked and he was busy, and I noticed that it was time that I should probably go to bed. Instead though, I'm posting here...

    I just played the demo for a few hours and thought it was pretty fun. I caught on quickly and won the first time I went comm. The commander doesn't interact nearly as much with his team like in NS, since the comm can get what he wants built with controlled workers and players can get what weapons and such they want with their own money.

    Basically all you do as comm is climb the tech tree and build garrisons/towers when your team advances far enough(advancing = being able to kill, respawn, repeat better than the enemy), didn't see any real tactics but didn't expect any either since everyone is nub. Of course theres that frustration when half your team sits around the base creeping while you lose the garrison in the middle, similar to how you would get frustrated at people humping armory when you're losing phase gate to a hive.

    Though if you're the kind of person who thinks a pump-shotgun is out of place in a futuristic game like NS, then you're in for a shock when two catapults advance, guarded by a group of huge brutish looking warriors, with crude armor and giant axes...then one of the guys pulls out a laser gun and another blasts you with a rocket launcher <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It's a decent game but I don't think I'll be buying it.

    This...game...rox0rs.... I love jumping up and down at an extreme rate chopping at the red ore... the commanders like "uh...you ok?" HEHE ME CHOPPA GOOD SIR! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    easy way to become nigh on invincible quick is to build everything you see XD
    The minute comm puts down a building go whack hell out of it with your weapon and your experience will skyrocket.

    As for nomads with flamethrowers they're good when the legionarre doesn't know what 'sprint' is and doesn't make any effort to dodge, I took down 2 as a flamethrower nomad myself but took out 3 flamethrower people when I stormed into their base. Just make sure you use jump and strafe at the right times and they'll barely hit you; though I'm really convinced the reason I did so well was because I was so high level and they were only low levels and most of them couldn't aim very well so I think they were new gamers =/

    Still, it was one heck of an ego boost <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    And after there aren't many buildings to build (or any time, really), you can go off and hunt for those monkey creatures, they usually stay in groups and respawn quickly, so you sit there and hack 'em down until you're at a suitable level. (I got from level 2 to 11 doing this, there wasn't much else to do that game).

    I donno why but when I go Savage I suck, I die VERY easily but when I go Legion, I last A LOT longer, Also I find spinning while swinging the axe helps sometimes.
  • homerxhomerx Join Date: 2003-04-01 Member: 15094Members
    I just finished downloading it.

    The game looks decent enough, but I bet it will be better when the Beasts arrive. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

    the key thing is to get your experience up so you get the armour and stuff... even a legionare gets big bonusses for being level 8 compared to level 1 =3

    I definitely find the quickest way is helping to build stuff but grimm's 'kill the monsters' thingy works too if your comm isn't a construction fiend ^^
    mining will also help you gain xp but it tend to be pretty slow going (you only get a bit of it when you take the resources to the nearest stronghold/whatever so if it's not right next to it it'll take a while <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    It'll give you a waypoint to the nearest Stronghold/Garrison.

    I usually end up killing creatures cause most commanders are like "You fight, I'll build, it's useless having fighters do the work when I can just use my workers"
  • GeminosityGeminosity :3 Join Date: 2003-09-08 Member: 20667Members
    if a comm told me that I'd just make faces at them and build anyways; nothing raises a warrior's levels quicker than building. If they want units that can fight well they'd better just leave us to it XD
    Shame repairing stuff doesn't have the same benefits... infact I'm not even sure you get any experience for doing repairs at all =/

    Well i downloaded it and i've played it for a few hours today. Whilst it's not fantastically great, it's still really fun to play. It's a shame that teamwork is pretty minimal, i think in all the hours i played i got about one or two waypoints from my comm, both of them accidents.

    But nevertheless it did seem like fun and i'm considering buying it when / if it gets released in the UK.

    Its a very fun game. Beasts are so much more fun in my opinion though so this is kinda unfair...

    It's very fun indeed, though I wonder why they didn't do melee in first person.

    Something I find quite annoying is everyone throwing themselves on the Monkits to get easy exp even if they have 500+ XP and are legionnaires, instead of leaving them to the lower levels and protecting the front.
    It's more combat intensive than NS, but I still prefer NS. This is more.. barbaric, for lack of a better term.


    Also, I find it quite buggy, but that's maybe just me (I spawned a couple of times invisible, a couple of crashes etc...)
