heh, my suggestion about anti-structure gorges fighting turret farms got through to the devs? or is it just a coincidence? i for one am glad to see that aliens now have the ability to counter turret farms before bile bombs (other than brute force that is, but if there are more turrets in that farm than there are aliens you're in trouble!)

good call on this one devs. its the elegant art of tech and counter-tech and counter-counter-tech etc, that makes a game strategically addictive and fun.

I think Gorges role has been planned for a looong time and there have been several suggestions along the way. I think this is all good [speculation] Now Kharaa can probably destroy turret farms pretty easily as long as they work together and Skulks cover Gorges. [/speculation]

sounds good, aliens need more teamwork, although its gr8 to see the gorge/fade/lerk team in action

i shall like it if the gorge isn't limited to a sit-back-and-build-fatty.i mean, they got 100HP and 50AP and can take more than DmG than a skulk. still they can't survive a rambo who trys to get a 'uber' knife kill on him.

as a gorge...because I seem to end up balancing teams alot and I am one of the few good gorges out there. I end gorge rushing and battle gorging rather often. Most often it's supporting the rest of my team which is amdly wandering the map trying to aviod getting killed. Since at times getting more then 2 aliens in the same place at once is very hard I end up assualting whole bases by myself once in awhile...which is really funny sometimes. I can't wait to see 1.1 and what kind of goodies they are going to give us. Which I will promptly hate as a marine.

The commanders have to sit in a chair and cant fight at all, so neither should the gorge (Who can already fight)

Because we all know that aliens == marines. (sarcasm, BTW)

Teehee, fear the fat. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Hey, even in 1.04 a battle gorge should be feared. With two hives, a rushing gorge that healsprays, drops offense chambers, and webs like a madman is seriously hard to take out. Even harder so if he has adrenaline and redemption at third level.

WTH?

a gorge does something so the marines can't build at a certain area? woot for aliens getting another power boost...

or am i wrong..somebody please explain this <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
