LEAVE THE CORPSES around hq/arc

[prometh]

They will pile up and protect it and its surrounding structures (GATES!) from damage. Quit removing them!

[RENGOKU]

If the Bug pile gets too big they’ll just climb right over it.

[prometh]

Exactly, and then they die on top of it, completely protecting it

[RENGOKU]

Right up until a tiger or something that’s not gonna instantly die gets on top of it and then you’re face-to-face with one.

Anyways, nuclear pack go boom.

[prometh]

Why would you be face to face with a tiger that climbed atop the HQ/ARC corpse pile? Be somewhere else, growing the pile. Like I said, the corpses will protect the structures they surround. Your nuke pack makes the team fail.

[RENGOKU]

I really doubt me putting down a nuclear pack to clear out the bugs so we can put up more defenses or make it so we can get to one place or another is making the team fail.

[prometh]

It's already happened

[RENGOKU]

if you had bugs surrounding your HQ and arc, you were already in a trouble spot.

personally I’m gonna keep cleaning up but your free to get mad at people in mission.

Oh no, the brain bug got another one...

[Urtho Rashkae]

if bugs come, they die.
repair, leave corpses.
next batch die and leave another layer.
repair, leave corpses.
next batch climb higher to deal damage, die, leave layer.
repair, leave corpses.
repeat...

eventually the bugs cant get down enough to harm critical equipment.

works in AAS since arc can be repaired.
not on Horde unless you can stack bodies without much damage to gain same effect.

What about my famous Bug BBQ! ; )

[Urtho Rashkae]

cant make an omelet.....

only the core shell is char free, gotta let the bug goo act like glue.

This actually seems to work. Just came from a game where we had a literal mountain of bugs and those corpses shielded the mobile HQ from so many plasma and inferno hits.

Works in Horde.

But I think they have to stack on top to get that effect. We created a corridor of gates leading them to the mobile HQ, but it turned out to be so effective between that and them just walking up a ramp that they all died essentially on top of the mobile HQ forming what I like to call, "Bug Mountain." Had at least 4 plasmas firing at the mobile HQ without any effect because the pile of gunners, warriors, drones, and tigers was so deep.

isnt game mechanics so much more fun than cheating.
