Tactic:

step 1. spam room full of cysts, whips, crags, shift and billion eggs and little more cysts.

step 2. wait till marine commander uses scan.

step 3. laugh when marine commander's game crashes and kill disoriented marines.

works, atleast for me randomly happens to me when i freakin command marines, sometimes it doesn't sometimes it does.

    Oh
    Well umm
    Okay
    What do you want said
    How about...
    "Yeah great strategy I think I'm going to try this as the alien commander!"
    or...
    "You're totally right, the game is hardware intensive, and placing an amount of structures well beyond that which is strategically feasible in a small area can lead to problems."
    maybe you wanted,
    "This game sucks how come it has any problems?"

    All viable responses.

    "Too many entities" should kick in at about 10 cysts 5 crags in the room.

    I still think the best alien strat is:

    1. Research Camo.
    2. GG

    Had this happen last night. We had take Departures and Generator hive, tried expanding into Locker Room, but the comm had placed too many cysts, crags and whips. Could not drop the hive. Goofballery.

    I find that double clicking to select anymore than 3 ARC's and start moving them around is a sure fire way for the game to lock up or the UI to stop responding to mouse clicks.

    Hahahahahahahaahahahahahha!

    This made my night.

    "works, atleast for me randomly happens to me when i freakin command marines, sometimes it doesn't sometimes it does"

    Oh boy, hahaha!
    This is some Sun Tsu ###### right here.

    EDIT;
    I came up with a new one in the same spirit as this thread.

    All the marines on the marine team stand on top of each other in base. When the alien team rushes, they will feint from how stupid and odd it is.
    Kill the aliens with feinted players. Win.

    Sometimes it doesn't sometimes it does.

    one valid tactic is to place alot of cysts so marines can not expand to a certain location.
    they get distracted, cannot build and your team is able to take them out.

    but after around 30-40 cysts shades and whips I was not able to place that one harvester, and no way of getting rid of cysts.
    and my whips were blocked off...
    <3 the pathfinding of anythin...

    stupid...

    I guess this is a good reason to allow for removal of alien structures by the khammander. So for that feature has been left out on purpose, but I guess there's good reason for it.

    But no need for it. Just set the entity limit per building. Instead of x entities per room, allow 1 hive, 1 harvester, x cysts, y craigs, and so on...
