This thread is designed to bring out the defensive creativity from the fellow players of Cortex Command. How long can your base defense last, and what features does it have to better protect you? How fast can you kill monsters? How easily are your soldiers hurt? How appealing is your base? Post your base designs! (10 minute sand fortress);   More to come!

Rofl at the shell casings. Reminds me of Hot Shots 2, where the guy completely covered himself with shells. Ill post some pics later. The possibilities are infinite in the editor. I usually make my base have landing pad for rockets, 2 vertical walls just slightly away from the base to give some time to get organised and I either put my brain in an underground complex, and sometimes in a tower with few gunning positions. |

Here is one of my Normal Bases. This is on Horiz Land, Took me Ten Mins. Pic One: 1. Sniper on Roof. Has good veiw of the whole battle field. 2. Soldier armed with Machine gun. Lookout point means that he can shoot out and not have to worry to much about being killed. 3. Rockets Ready to be launched. 4. Bomber is there in case the bases defenses are breached.  Pic Two: 5. Two Soldiers Guard the Brain 6. Another Bomber. He is there for the same reason as the first. 7. DO BRAIN!  Pic Three: This is basicly just a Mirror of the Other side of the base.  Pic Four: Spy Post so I know whats going on around the map.

I put a closed tomb at the bottom of the map, then put some horizontal walls with turrets on them above there. |

No pictures... But a description. It's a single brain. With a closed chamber around it. Yup. The perfect defense.

I improve on Grif's idea by putting none but a closed tomb and brain jar at ... the top of the map  . Squished right up there too, so it's impossible to land anything, and hard to hit unless you jet up and fire through the wall.

They did before. But now they wield a new power: Teleportation! |

My design is pretty much like Orindell's, except there are 2 layers of those lookout points, the upper one having the roof removed so as to allow it to be used to shoot down dropships and rockets. |

I've been fiddling around with the bunker editor for a while, and have chosen a real bunker design - as opposed to just hiding the brain 'somewhere' on the map . Despite seeming simple, it's actualy one heck of a stronghold. The turrets prevent any skeles from piling up and creating ramps, the miner provides more than enough income to start ordering more expensive equipment and the blast door is a cheap, yet effective way of closing up the brain room. A door mod would be nice for that top enterance, but ya can't have everything .On the plus side, you can actualy make this for under 1000 oz. Edit: Here are some 'used' screenshots ... the ratio of deaths to frags is 2:141 :p

How do you change direction of placed units? |

You cannot at this present juncture. The only way to do so is to have two modules that face other directions, like Grifs in-wall turrets |

Wait - if you mean changing the direction an actor is facing, you can just hold down the 'fire' button to move pixel by pixel. It'll switch orientation after moving in one direction for a couple pixs. |
