Large area, square, marine bunker or fort in center. At the edge of the map, mountains, lot, and high, with caves in them. Also, a valley pass or two.
So we have a bunker, with a lot of empty ground, and then mountains around it. We fill the empty ground with... rocks, holes, debris, trenches, stuff!
Now, since we have: Caves, holes, trenches and mountain passes, there's a lot of places aliens can come from.
I'd say: Lerks flying from the caves, onos through mountain passes, fades and skulks from trenches, holes, and some skulks from the mountains.
Now, still, this would be too easy.
So after a certain time, aliens will start coming through the ground, from inside the marine bunker or fort. (boom! ground sinks, multiple aliens crawl out of the hole.)
Also, somewhere outside the map, there's a room where hives and chambers will be automatically placed after certain periods of time. (so aliens get stronger over time, more upgrades, more abilities.)
Try to beat those 15 leaping/xenociding skulks combined with 5 onos, 10 lerk and a few fades. Good luck. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

But that wouldn't fit in the ns story, since aliens are the ones attacking into marine space. And if marines were to attack, there would have to be an alien world.

I don't have to wait, just because i am certain that the BUS will not include bots not joining a team.
Ofcourse the BUS will include many things that help me in this project.
But the bot part will have to be coded, and i think i know where to find help.
