<div class="IPBDescription">The Marines "Wall" Building?</div> Think about this fokes, Backup CC's are Big, Unweildy and build pretty fast, they also have a TON of HPs so much so that it takes ten seconds for a Pair of Onos +Fade to kill one even when primal Screamed or 39 Seconds for a Single Skulk
Now then they Cost 30, They are big... They easly get in the way...
How about using them as a Walling element?

Its more expensive but its pretty damn hard to get through a CC wall with Acid Rockets...

but if we were supposed to do that, the Marines would have another structure known as the "big block" which would be a giant cube with lots of hitpoints and just sat there to get in the way. There is no big cube.
The thing is that <i>all</i> marine buildings use the 32*32*32 hull. The CC may appear big, but you could just as well try building a wall of Tfacs - and watch aliens gnaw through them because the turrets can't fire through.
(oops evidently there is an existing thread on the thing i was talking about)
Thats a loong time
However, it seems like it would be more of a useless tactic that would just extend an inevitable end, and that's kind of lame. So it would be more as a joke move or maybe a sly trick up the sleeve that could actually be used to win 1/1,000th of the time.

Wow. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
Once bile bomb starts working again though, smart Fades won't be attacking them with acid rockets if they have 3 hives.
then, what is the cheapest way to get a marine blockade? There has to be a "Best building" Cost/Health wise to make a wall.

But couldn't a skulk just hop over that and munch at the TF completly safe, guarded by the CCs? It'd even be hard for a marine to get a shot at him. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

o god....grinn is so true.
btw...blackout's post has its points but these people are after a cheap and efficent wall. but until i find a reason to use a wall, i would save that extra cash and upgrade or build a few extra turrets. extra weapons and stuff would be much better.

Yes acutal the best part of the CC wall stack is the fact that you can easily build turrets on top of CC's I've gotten three on a CC once by watching where I placed em
Quite fun for the Fades to hop the Corner and face 10 Turrets and ALWAYS ten turrets as they are on top and around <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
