Vertex 32 Posted May 23, 2012 Here are some Nuclear Dawn tips for some of the newer players! Commander Tips - Build to prime ASAP (most maps to one secondary aswell) - Build armory and research kits asap, making sure it doesn’t slow you down getting a spawn at prime - The bunker is a power station itself, plan accordingly - NEVER build power station before forward spawn - Always sell one base spawn at the start - With empire build 2 forward spawn and an armory before power station - Consider placing power station and some maps armory not in base - Always get your team infantry boost (when beside enemy base) - Always surround enemy base (never go in from one side) - Repair buildings as they build to speed up build time - Listen to your teammates (Chat & Mics) - Always be open minded listening to teammates advice and point of views - Use your “Attack,” “Defend” and “Resources” Markers - Seal off all tunnels with Rocket and/or Flame turrets - Get radar up near your base and enemy if resources permit - NEVER use MG turrets, use rocket turrets instead (less beside bunker) - When attacking enemy base build rocket turrets in Groups of 2 - Don’t use build flame turrets in enemy base, build rocket turrets to - Empire is Offensive (build according) - Consortium is Defensive (also build according) - Talk to your team ALOT (chat or mic) - Put a supply station beside every spawn you build - Double up some main spawns in the front lines - Double up relays (when building into enemy base) - Use artillery, power stations, radar, spawns, supplies, turrets on doorways, infantry and structure boost to create a proper turtle - Groups buildings (hold ctrl then click the building(s) and hit a number 1-9) - Click on artillery and hit “allow team to call down” - Group the artillery and fire all at once - Tell your teammates what buildings need to be repaired - Tell your teammates what buildings are being sieged - Use the mini-map - Heal your teammates with com abilities when resources permit - Poison enemy base to help your teammates get in there - Build a forward armory (so teammates can refill instantly) - Build forward power stations (don’t run all your power from base) - Try to avoid building in the open - Build a second assembler for increased build speed and building two buildings at once (when loads of resources permit) - Build to support your teammates - Change your tactics every now and then - Watch other people command before you try it yourself - Practice commanding on an empty server - Build inside buildings/walls whenever possible (metro, hdyro and clocktower) - For empire hydro build first relay beside the assembler and build over the fence Trooper Tips - LISTEN TO YOUR COMMANDER - Don’t spam grenades (one blows others cancel out) - 3 people max on a secondary for fastest capturing speed - Use pistol instead of siege weapon to kill an enemy (more damage per second) - Join squads (for damage, repair, and points boosts) - Keep getting resources for your commander (resources normally win a game) - Work together as a team - Repair the commanders buildings when needed - Watch for people shooting the commanders buildings - Look for flashing red on the mini-map as an indicator, for the commanders buildings being attacked - Hold the Primary resource point till your command can build to it - Choose the class that is most needed on the team - Backstab an exo in the back, while your running, with a knife for 1000 damage - Teleport between spawns (press e on a spawn then click on one of the locations on the map) - Help your commander out if someone is in base - Take a few teammates and stealthy siege enemy assembler - Capture resource points and kill enemy commander with sleath - Destroy buildings with exo Siege, BBQ, Grenadier kits or grenades ONLY (sometimes engineer or sabs) - Don’t shoot buildings with suppression exo - Use sabs to blow up enemy relays before they finish building - Assaults USE YOUR VISORS to detect and protect against enemy stealths - DO NOT scope your siege weapon, use extra ammo, or structure damage boost instead - You CAN NOT capture a resource point while in lockdown mode, cloaked or nano’ed - Run into prime while being captured by enemy to reset the timer - Grab an extra clip from the supply station before going out - Don’t nano when someone is healing - Slow down the enemy commander at the start of the game ex. Killing him, sabing his relays - Bounce the BBQ flame off more than one building at a time - Use BBQ through a wall to kill enemies inside a structure - Stealths and BBQ’s drop radar kits near enemy buildings - Engineers drop ammo kits for exo’s sieging - Medics nano people before they go into the enemy base or an fortified area - Medics drop med kits nearby area with one supply station, prime and nearby siege exos - BBQ’s and grenadier kits can throw/shoot grenades over some walls and hit enemies and their buildings - Aim mainly at relays when sieging - Only one med kit, radar kit or ammo kit can be placed at once Resource Extraction Notice: This section is outdated and completely incorrect. Primary -> 50 resources per second (while mining initial starting resources) -> 35 resources per second (after initial resources has run out) -> 5 minutes 50 seconds of initial starting resources Secondary -> 45 resources per second (while mining initial starting resources) -> 31.5 resources per second (after initial resources has run out) -> 3 minutes 42 seconds of initial starting resources -> Faster capturing to a max of 3 people Tertiary -> approximately 8 resources per second (while mining initial starting resources) -> just under 6 resources per second (after initial resources has run out) -> 1 minute 20 seconds of initial starting resources Bunker -> 20 resources per second Power Consumption Power Supply Bunker -> 950 power supply (Consortium) -> 1250 power supply (Empire) Power Plant -> 750 power supply (Consortium) -> 950 power supply (Empire) Power Usage Barrier -> 35 power usage Wall -> 50 power usage Supplies -> 100 power usage Spawns -> 100 power usage Mg Turret -> 150 power usage Rocket Turret -> 200 power usage Flame/Sonic Turret -> 200 power usage Artillery -> 225 power usage Armory -> 250 power usage Assambler -> 500 power usage Edit: I wrote this thread almost two years ago, and plan on improving soon. -March. 25th, 2015 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
