Talk:Base Locations (Apocalypse)
It's nice to see the base layouts laid out like this. Turns out there are a lot of really useful layouts to choose from that can easily be defended, despite requiring the base to be very specialized. It's just the large blocks (usually under slums) that don't work very well. Easy level in particular has a lot of small but really nice choices, even the Heavenly Towers slum block looks like it can be split in half down the middle and leave the top half for a repair bay. Wouldn't want to protect it from an air skirmish though!
One thing we can add later is to note which layouts are randomly selected for your starting base. Not sure how random the base selection is, as I can only remember getting 3 - 4 common selections on each restart (like Warehouse Two for the superhuman map is almost the default base), but not some others. -NKF 00:46, 17 November 2009 (EST)
- Yeah, with 1 or 2 exceptions, the Slums are not worth buying. They are usually more expensive and the extra space isn't that much. I had already thought about adding which are the most probable bases but i'm only aware in Superhuman. Hobbes 05:14, 17 November 2009 (EST)
Are these base calculations for area correct? On Medium, Warehouse Seven looks to me like 32 units of space (4x8) minus one for the gravlift - but this shows 36. Hades Block is the largest by my calculations, with 6x6 = 36 units of space for building (minus one for lift) - yet Area is listed as 25. Would this make all the area cost calculations incorrect as well? --Alloutwar 14:44, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
