Wheres the hives gonna be and the commander console and stuff?

Looks quite good tho, if a little small, but some more info would be nice:)

Terawatt_99

well, i've started building it, and i've made a couple of decisions as to where stuf'll be, there's gonna be an APC in the helipad/courtyard, which is where the marines will start, the hives will be in the cargo storage, the small room at the bottom of the stairs in the first security check, and either a small cave in the lower cliff (assuming all aliens will be able to climb walls) or an extention of the vent from the elevator shaft to some kind of abandoned furnace room under the control centeralso, the plan isn't entirely to scale, it's actually so far a lot bigger tanh it looks from that drawing...

thats nice level , but is there all hives connected with vent system ?

pielemuis

hmm looks good, nice layout. You should update this layout if you've decided where you gonna place them hives and stuff.

Ravenous

Ohh nice layout. Nice colors and arrows and...sorry ? Im suppose to comment the layout ? Alright!

Should be a little easier if I knew where the hives were but so far so good <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

ok, here's the right one...

Ravenous

Those Hives might just be a little to close to each other. When the aliens have 3 hives isn't that a major advantage over the Marines ?

I made the third hive on my map a little harder to reach.

Comprox

All the hives should be equally easy to reach and the same timing to each hve (approximately). Your furnace room hve looks alot closer then the other 2, and the three of them do look a little crammed in together. Also the top left hive has only one entrance making it easily defendable.

Moleculor

The hives are -waaaaaaaay- too close together. Move them to opposite ends of the map.

And the three hive thing is a necessity. You can't have any more or less to be an official map. The aliens get abilities according to the number of hives they have, and the number of hives they have determine how much RP they get in injections.

quick update, i've changed the layout of the vents so that the command center is inaccesible by the ventilation system, i haven't done anythin to the locations of the hives as of yet, and i think i'll as another exit from the furnace room hive, but i'm not sure where to...  maybe a service elevator shaft with a busted elevator at the bottom so that marines can't get in? or should marines be able to enter the hive?

Comprox

Um, of course the marines must be able to enter the hive. Only way they can win is by killing the hive <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> You map looks a little small for 3 hives and marine, maybe expand it out to the right some?
