3. IP
???

EDIT: Oh sry i found the com expirience close/delete it

If it's a siegemap.....always Armory and uppgrade armory first.

Then build all rt's that's available...then build 1 ip and 1 obs for Phase Tech. Next step is 1 armslab or maybe 2 depending on the map and start uppgrading weapons and armor.

Now you just have to wait for the armory to get uppgraded, when it's done build 1 protolab and research Jetpack or Heavy Armor at once.

While waiting for the protolab to finnish your JP (or HA), you should hand out some guns and build some defense at front with various turrets and sieges if necessary.

Try to lay as much resources as you can on your marines, but not to much. You have to afford some turrets and uppgrades to.

This strategy is typical for jp defending a siegemap. You can experiment with different strategys, for example if you are HA rushing, don't research armor, only weapon damage and maybe some catalyst to kill the aliens faster.



If you are commanding on a regular NS map (not siege) the strategy is totally different. You don't have near as much res to play with in the beginning. The best way to learn commanding is to look at other (good) commanders and practise on noob servers (if you are a noob). You can always get help from the other players if there is something you wonder about. Though if you ask a question about commanding on the Alien Breeder you will probably get ejected....

So I don't advise you to practise on The alien Breeder if you are new to commanding :P The games on Alien Breeder are usually quite "high-class"



Good luck in the CC m8!

The main thing for siegemaps is to build as fast as possible, every second counts, a decent commander can get the proto built and ha or jp researching in 3:05, and a really good commander with a good team can get it below 3 minutes, i have only managed to do this 2 or 3 times, and usually only just, like in 2:59.

Actually......as fast as possible isn't really the deal.
As long as you have JP or HA before the door opens, right?? And some maps got over 5 minutes before the door opens so to get under 3 minutes with JP or HA isn't that necessary :P

Its hard to be a good com, u gotta find ur own tactic.. but the basic is always 1 ip, 1 armory, and then whatever you like

Well....not on siegemaps.... then it's only 1 armory and the rest rt's :P

Do u know good bots for practising commander?

i think there is no best order...
you have to know the strategy you want to play as com. if you got a plan the best build order is variable. if you relocate you should get a new command chair asap. on siegemaps i would build a amory, all (or the most) restowers, ip, obs, ...

hm thats a nice idea but i actually know some good bots they are named RCbot but i didn't find the link and i don't wanna search it now :P
just google it 8)
@start you have to make the waypoints for the bots at new maps like the siegemaps but when it's finished they are very good if you need more information read the help text you'll need it ^^
