That was the vent and final score on ns_bast. Until the end when BatBat went in to take out all their turrets with an Onos and get the last fiddly bits up, we were all gorges.
I had enough defense towers built in those vents within' range of myself, that I took down two Marines that jetpacked up with HMG's by myself, as a Gorge, without being able to really use Web because I'd been littering their base with it from the vent.
Yes, with just spit. With their commander dropping health on them about ten times total.
I never died. I was regening like 70hp/sec from the def towers, and had level-3 carapace.
That was the BEST game of NS I've ever played. Admitedly, they should never have let me get INTO that vent, but... *grins* Skulk->Gorge->Webzilla for no reason but to annoy them. To be honest, their mistake was stopping to attack me back, I was just webbing them to try to get them to stay in base. It worked. *grins*
Evil Aliens Tactic #69: Web their base with ten to twelve defense towers healing you, screw damage, go for annoy!

Gorg?s are one of the most useful things in offense. Building towers, webbing and healing fellow attackers. Two Gorg?s healing each other are a good team.
When i go to attack as a Fade or Lerk, i always want to have a Gorg behind me, backing me up. I really respect people who play Gorg like that and i always become one when there is need for one.

... and then the fades came in
In the beginning the aliens need to harrass or kill of marines to make them do either one of two things
1. Kill marines and make them lose equipment
2. Keep them from expanding
if you can accomplish that you got half the game won

Good fun, but I must confess, without Gorgs aliens suck.
Are U shootin' my Gorg?

Once I felt the hive was secure, went on an offensive towering bender. 1 to 1 ratio on offensive and defensive chambers, with the occasional movement chamber for emergencies. Eventually locked the marines into their own base and had a nice heal farm for the assaulting fades and onos.
I think I was in the top 5 for kills come the end of the round, too <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Am i right that you get the kills for the offense chambers you built that kill a marine?
I?m rarely a Gorge because it?s rarely needed, but when i am, i often get kills even tho i?m far away from any marine.......

correct!
gorge power!
but since I had a ranged attack, weak as it is, I'd still stand outside the heal farm and shoot what I could, when I could.
LOL just remembered -- one time, I rushed the base as the gorge, and ran away as soon as a trio of marines came after me.
I headed back to the heal farm, and a cloaked fade materialized behind them and shredded all three. They were so focused on me, being the PITA that I was, they never even <i>turned around</i>!!
Beautiful ambush, perfectly timed and executed, it was a golden moment <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

None of them were from an offense tower. That vent, had a paired stack I used to climb up ENTIRELY of defense towers, nothing else.
And the only kills I got were from my Level 4 Babblers at the very end. Until that point, I was getting the Marines to kill THEMSELVES both with their grenades bouncing back out of the vent, and by hitting them with so many webs, sewing them down once they hit one, that they'd kill themselves rather than wait it out. :-)

Dang I want that siege cannon nerfed.
Grenades can also knock out a defending gorge with defencive turret support too.
is run to where you want to setup as a skulk
go gorge
build a dchamber, ochamber
basically get a line of offensives backed up by defensives... put some dchambers behind terrain so they dont get hurt as much.
once you max out
or the marines attack switch to fade and just pummel and harass them from your nice offensive base..
marines can never take out a farm of dturrets and oturrets with a fade guarding them since they gotta kill the fade first and he's just getting healed.
you can blink to them since they really suck at close range.. and if you got scent of fear, say and are lobbing bombs they get damaged and you know exactly where they are so you can throw more when they come to the corner to spam :.. both ways work.. even better though.. just have 1 of each! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yes, I had THAT MANY defensive chambers, they had three people lobbing GL's up at me, several of them hit me, I was healing around 70 points a second between armor and health. :-)
Most games I'll go skulk early on, then proceed to gorge, build a few defensive towers in a strategic position, then make "annoyance" runs at the marine base. Mid-game I might go fade to take out an expansion, but once the 2nd hive goes up, its pretty much gorge all the way!
btw, the spit doesn't take 10-15 hits to kill a marine, not sure where you're getting that. Usually 6-7 will take him down, without HA ofcourse.
