<h1 style="margin-top:15px">OVERVIEW</h1>
|
||
<img src="quick_start_files/hive_icon.gif" style="float:right"><p>Natural Selection is a multiplayer-only Half-Life mod. In it, players join one of two very different teams:</p>
|
||
<p><span class="label">The Frontiersmen</span> - elite marines using advanced technology and weaponry to take back human ships and bases. Victory requires intense teamwork, and excellent tactics.</p>
|
||
<p><span class="label">The Kharaa</span> - ferocious alien creatures with amazing evolutionary and biological abilities, who hunt and destroy any and all intruders to their new territory. Victory requires skillful adaptation, and deadly combat proficiency.</li></ul>
|
||
<h1>GETTING STARTED</h1>
|
||
<p><span class="charlie">[Charlie writes about tech requirements, downloading]</span></p>
|
||
<h1>GOALS <span class="sub_h1">(VICTORY)</span></h1>
|
||
<p>To win, the Frontiersman must destroy all of the Kharaa and their ability to respawn. Kharaa respawn from hives. Each map has three potential hive locations. The Frontiersmen must destroy any active hives, and then hunt down any remaining Kharaa. When the last hive is destroyed, the Kharaa begin to die - though as long as there is one Kharaa out there with enough resources to build a new hive, the battle isn't over. When the last alien dies, the game ends.</p>
|
||
<p>The Kharaa must destroy all Frontiersmen and their ability to respawn. Marines respawn from infantry portals. Infantry portals can be built near any command console, in any quantity desired (though they cost resources -- typical numbers range from two to six). With the infantry portals destroyed, the aliens must prevent new ones from being built. There are two ways to accomplish this: by killing every Frontiersman, or by destroying all command consoles. As long as there is one marine, and one command console, the Frontiersmen have a chance to turn things around. When the last marine dies, the game ends.</p>
|
||
<h1>STARTING CONDITIONS</h1>
|
||
<p>The Frontiersmen begin the game at the Marine Base. This is the same location on each map. They start play with one resource collector and one command console. Note: until an infantry portal is built, marines won't be able to respawn. Starting weaponry for a Frontiersman is an LMG (light machine gun), pistol, and knife.</p>
|
||
<p>The Kharaa begin the game at their first hive, which is randomly selected from one of three fixed locations on each map. They start play with one active hive and one resource collector. Each Kharaa begins as a Skulk (for more information on the five species of Kharaa, see the Alien Species section).</p>
|
||
<h1>THE POP-UP MENU</h1>
|
||
<p>The pop-up menu is a quick and intuitive way to access commands for both teams. Knowing your way around the pop-up menu will save you time <20> and might just save your skin.</p>
|
||
<p>For the marines, it's used primarily for communication - asking for orders, urgent equipment requests, or reporting combat conditions. The advantage to using the pop-up menu for these tasks (as opposed to typed or voice communication) is that your requests pop up on the Commander's display, at your location. The pop-up menu can also be used for actions, like selecting and dropping weapons.</p>
|
||
<p>The Kharaa also use their pop-up menu to communicate with teammates; but it's also how you spend resources to build, evolve new abilities, and change species (see the Kharaa sections below for more info).</p>
|
||
<h1>RESOURCES</h1>
|
||
<p>Frontiersmen need resources so their commander can give them goodies like sentry turrets, grenade launchers, jetpacks, and armor upgrades. Kharaa need resources so they can create new hives, evolve abilities like cloaking, and scent of fear, and change into new species of Kharaa like the thundering Onos, or the winged Lerk. Both teams use resources when they build anything, or improve their capabilities. This makes securing resources the key to victory in all but the quickest of games.</p>
|
||
<p>The marines and aliens distribute resources in slightly different ways, and use them very differently. There are two methods of acquiring resources:</p>

|
||
<h1>THE COMMANDER <span class="sub_h1">(AND FOLLOWING ORDERS)</span></h1>
|
||
<p>At the heart of the marine deployment is the Commander. From inside his command chair he has a bird's eye view of the action - choosing what technology to research, deciding where to build, equipping and healing your team, and guiding the marines to victory. A team without a commander, or that doesn't work very closely with one, is almost always toast.</p>
|
||
<p>The Commander is in charge of spending the team resources. This means you'll be asking him for things fairly often (like health packs), but keep in mind: he can't give you something your team can't afford, or you haven't researched yet. And he's usually doing ten things at once - so while getting a shotgun might seem vital to you, it might not be as important as dropping health packs for the squad fighting for their lives in an enemy hive.</p>
|
||
<p>The Frontiersmen are at their best working together to carry out the Commander's orders. Following orders doesn't just lead to victory - it usually puts you where the action is, in the spots where the game is won or lost.</p>
|
||
<p>Any marine can become commander by stepping into the Command Console. There can only be one Commander at a time.</p>
|
||
<h1>MARINE WEAPONS & EQUIPMENT</h1>
|
||
<p>Your Commander can equip you with new weapons and gear by researching the appropriate tech (which costs resource points) and then dropping the new weapon for you (which also costs). Here's a list of the available weapons and gear:</p>

<h1>KHARAA BIOLOGY</h1>
|
||
<div class="todo" style="float:right">[pic of hive, (active and inactive?)]</div><p>The Kharaa do not have a Commander - they have the Hive, and Gorges. Gorges are a species of Kharaa that can build chambers, and start new hives. Hives respawn dead aliens, and heal any aliens standing nearby. With every new active hive, all Kharaa species become more powerful, and gain access to new evolutionary abilities. Choosing your species and evolutions allows you to adapt and try different strategies over the course of a game.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h1>KHARAA SPECIES</h1>
|
||
<p>There are five species of Kharaa. All players spawn as Skulks. In order to evolve to different species, you'll need to spend resource points. If you have enough resources, you can change species as often as you like.</p>
|
||
<p>When you change species you'll cocoon into an egg, and a meter will show the remaining gestation time till you emerge as a different species. While gestating, you are helpless.</p>
|
||
<p>Each species lends itself to different roles in combat - all of them important. If you die and respawn, you lose your evolutions and revert to a Skulk - which makes the more powerful species more costly to lose.</p>

<h2>Kharaa Chambers</h2>
|
||
|
||
Every active hive allows for one kind of chamber to be built (with the exception of offensive chambers and resource chambers, which can always be built).
|
||
|
||
<span class="todo">[Def Chamber - w/healing affect, and each one built allows another level of defensive evolutions, max 3]
|
||
[Movement Chamber - w/adrenaline and transport affect, and each one built allows another level of movement evolutions, max 3]
|
||
[Sensory Chamber - w/cloaking and hive site affect, and each one built allows another level of sensory evolutions, max 3]
|
||
[Offensive Chamber - attacks like turret. No evolutionary impact.]
|
||
[Resource Chamber - gathers res. No evolutionary impact.]</span>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Kharaa Evolutions (Upgrades)</h2>
|
||
|
||
There are three categories of evolution: Defensive, Movement, and Sensory. To get all three, your team will need three active hives. You can only choose one evolution from each category. If you die and respawn, you can choose again. Evolving a new ability also requires gestation time, though far less than changing species.
|
||
|
||
<span class="todo">[list evolutions]</span>
|
||
|
||
Example of evolutions and chambers: at the start of the game, the Kharaa decide to go with Movement as their first type of evolution. A Gorge builds a movement chamber, and the movement icon flashes on each player's screen. For two resource points, the players can now use their pop-up menus to choose celerity, adrenaline, or redeem. Whichever they choose, it will only be at level 1 until someone builds another chamber. Movement chambers can now be built anywhere, for offensive or defensive purposes. When a second hive goes up, the team will then have to choose whether to go for Defense or Sensory chambers.
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2>Hive sight</h2>
|
||
|
||
Where the marines have a Commander and upgrades like motion tracking, the Kharaa have hive sight. When you first play a Kharaa, turn slowly in a 360<36> circle. You'll see ghostly circles appear. Some will be your fellow Kharaa, on the other side of the wall, or the other side of the map. Others may be hives. You'll be able to see them move, and the rings will get larger or smaller with distance. This is your hive sight. You can also use hive sight to scout the enemy. Anything that one Kharaa sees, all see.
|
||
|
||
Hive sight icons:
|
||
|
||
<span class="todo">[list of hive sight icons]</span>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Waypoints</h2>
|
||
|
||
The Frontiersmen Commander uses waypoints to gather troops together, help them get around the map, and send lone marines or groups of them to important objectives. When you are given a waypoint, you'll hear a voice say "Move to your waypoint, soldier!" If you turn in a circle, you'll see the waypoint on your screen, looking like this:
|
||
|
||
<span class="todo">[pic of waypoint with random distance/room/order]</span>
|
||
|
||
A waypoint gives you its distance in kilometers from your current position, the name of the location on the map (unless it doesn't have one) and any orders associated with the waypoint (build/defend/etc). The distance will go down as you approach, and the waypoint icon will grow larger.
|
||
|
||
If you're lost, or your Commander asks you to go somewhere you're unfamiliar with, ask for a waypoint.
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2>Ammo and Health (Frontiersmen)</h2>
|
||
|
||
Frontiersmen can get ammo two ways - if the team has an armory, it will provide unlimited, free ammo. Just stand next to it and hit the use key. The commander can also drop ammo packs, but this costs resources.
|
||
|
||
Frontiersmen can only be healed by health packs (which also cost resources), and only the commander can provide them. The only way to repair armor (and structures) is with a welder.
|
||
|
||
<h2>Ammo and Health (Kharaa)</h2>
|
||
|
||
Since the Kharaa's weapons are biological, they don't have to worry about ammo. They do have to watch their energy bar, however - when it's depleted they won't be able to attack. The adrenaline evolution, or standing next to a movement chamber increase how quickly energy renews.
|
||
|
||
Kharaa are healed by standing next to a hive or defense chamber, or if a Gorge gives them a hit of healing spray. Finally, the defensive evolution regeneration allows an alien to heal itself. Healing restores health first, then armor.
