Phases of the game - Game Opening


Certainly each game is different, but in general terms Allegiance can be broken down into some basic phases where certain actions are going to help your team almost every time.

Game Opening

This phase starts at the launch of the game and ends about the same time that the map is fully explored and the first set of constructors have planted. During the game opening the most important thing is to fully explore the map so your commander can begin forming plans on where he will place your techbase and second set of constructors.

Equally important is to escort your opening constructors. Most of the time, the team which loses its opening constructor will lose the game.

  • Find every tech rock, every helium rock, and every aleph.
  • Set up probes to detect enemy miners and enemy cons. Extended probing is best accomplished after the map is complete, however.
  • Find the enemy mining sectors so your team can attack the enemy miners.
  • Defend your miners as they come under attack.
  • Pick up tech and bring it home.
