On bast, after 3 hives, I cloaked in the rotating door and voice commed to my buddy Bill J, "I'm gonna sit here invis. I'm gonna let those marines get a faint glimmer of hope when they attempt to go through this door. And I'm gonna be the darkness to put out that glare."
To which he replied "You, my friend, are an a$$hole."
To those marines, I toyed with, I'm sorry, but you made my day.

Plus, I like to think I tought a few of them to aim better. They actually managed to drop us skulks with celerity and carapace before we could even explode. That's like less than 2 seconds and damn good aim.
in a game today, it was a friggen fireworks show of xenociding skulks <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> after one got "lucky" and nailed 3 in one, their whole team decided to finish our base using ONLY xenocides. lol
but, of course, the next round, we had our revenge <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
gj w/ all those kills, man <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
When NS was released it was much easier to kill alot of marines at the same time, now days it looks like that specie can think and be ready for a little devil <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
I was lucky enough to hear that flashy "building created" sound in the next room, so I ran out to see what they were up to. What do I see but four marines huddled around a turret factory outside one of our hives. I scurried up the wall, ran across the ceiling, triggered xenocide, then dropped <b>on top of</b> the factory, and exploded. Getting five kill/death messages at one time is a sweet thing to witness, and it's even better to be the cause of them. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I loved it!! As soon as my claws hit the top of the factory, all four of 'em backed away a step and hauled out the guns. Just as they were about to start firing on me, <b>BOOOM</b>!!!
I really wish I had a screenshot..... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Then a minute later, I pulled it off. Now it's a reflex to hit f5.
My problem is choosing what alien type to play when we get 3 hives, all those abilities are so damn cool!
Babblers, fixed bile bomb, xenocide and spores are just sooo much fun.
It does really **obscenity** marines off when 3 or 4 of them get blown up by a little hive 1 alien lol.
Happy hunting, Mark
it takes a while from when 3rd hive comes online till the point where marine base is destroyed, as you probaby know.
mass-xeno is nice, but if marines are at least halfway smart they should start using their flashlight after the second group kill.
But a xenociding skulk on Nano-Gridlock took out *Four* HA + HMG marines on their way to put down the hive.
xenocide+mines=win
It was a group of marines on their spawn ramp on nancy. Building some turrets, hoping they would stop the infestation of fades attacking them.
