I'll add some good advice:
When someone is killing one of your buildings, by all means, stand as far away from him as you can and range him (especially if you are a chaplain) ... this will take off about 1/8th of his health from him while he successfully kills your building. Then when you are out of ammo, run into him when he's on his 3rd swing and get killed. This will allow you to respawn with full ammo ... if you repeat this 8 times, he will die.
Also, when one of your team mates spawns a malph. By all means, fire at him. This will make him feel like he is being attacked and he will be a better meat shield to you.
When you see an enemy malph, run up to him as fast as you can (dash works great) and let him kill you in 2 swings. This gives him more health, and lets the game end faster. The more of your team that can do this, the faster he gets health, and the faster the game will end.
If you see a vote occur, ignore it. It will go away after a little while.
DO NOT under any circumstances engage in a meelee fight. You might loose. Instead, stay back and use ranged damage to hurt your opponents and the dumb players that are fighting nose to nose. Only when you get low on ammo should you go fight meelee. But all you should do is hold down block non-stop, and when that fails, start to run away. Chances are they will not chase you because your uber towers will stop them. Eventually you must die tho, this replenishes your ammo. Unless you can find an ammo depot or a mana fountain, this will replenish your ammo so you never need to get into a meelee fight at all. If you only play builder, it helps with this, you can get your own ammo replenished and never need to fight meelee ever. IF some idiot tries to engage you in meelee, run to your nearest sub/garrision and spawn into it. wait for a little bit until they go away, or spawn somewhere else. This is the best way of winning.
Also, don't forget to repair the buildings! When people are attacking said building, if you repair while they are doing that, it will take longer for the building to die. Giving them more money for attacking it, and using your team gold to repair it. If you are repairing and get attacked, dodge away, put down a turret or shooting tree, and continue repairing the building. Do not under any circumstances, attempt to get into a meelee fight with the attackers. Chances are you will die, and will not be able to repair any longer.
If you are a builder, be sure to put your shield down next to your towers. It will stop all the other new players on the other side from shooting at your tower. This will let your tower live longer while you repair it.
If you see a building going up by the enemy team. DO NOT rush to it. You might get engaged in a meelee fight and die. Stand as far as possible away from it and shoot at it a bit until more players arrive that can also shoot at it.
If someone is chasing you and you are low on health, run back (even if it's half the map) to your closest sub/gar and spawn back into it. Then spawn somewhere else where they are not at ... make sure you buy a health pot tho, so you can get all your HP back. This will prevent you from dying. Except for if you are out of ammo, then run in and let the closest guy kill you. This will replenish your ammo.
If you are being chased. put down as many gadgets as possible ... if you drop your ammo depot, they will attack that because it's worth 150 gold to them, a turret is also worth that amount to them, and the mana fountain, or health shrines ... they will always attack them first because they are worth gold to them, this gives you precious seconds to get away from them, or allow you to range attack them while they destroy it.
If you see red dots on the mini-map ... DO NOT spawn there. That's where the enemies are at. Better at this point, to spawn somewhere else, so that you can repair your buildings as much as possible. Then when there is nothing to repair, start running through the middle of the map. Nobody should be there, and you will be able to live longer.
NEVER read the chat log. it's full of retards that don't know how to play anyway and are most likely yelling about something. It's useless and should really be removed from the game. Besides, if your following all these rules, you are doing the right thing and don't need to communicate with your team anyway.
If you are commander. Be sure to give up about 1/3 through the match. Tell your team that it's hopeless for them to fight any longer, and then just watch what's going on. You have the best view in the house. If you find that you have 30k or more gold, don't worry, it's still hopeless. Continute to tell you team that. DO NOT put down any towers, because that will make the game last longer. Keep saying how hopeless a victory is. If you happen to get impeached ... be sure you disconnect immediately so that they don't know how much your feelings got hurt. Also, be sure not to check the replay and see if your team won or not ... it was hopeless remember!?
Hellshrines are like automatic wins. If you are commander, as soon as one of your players are near the Hellshrine, place it as fast as you can. There should not be any builders around it tho, it will build slower if there are. Tell your team to defend it so they can win while it builds. If you don't see anyone use it, don't worry, about 10-15 minutes later they will, and they will be happy that you built it so early.
If you are commander, DO NOT build forward subs/gars ... your team likes to run so they can see all the pretty trees. it gives them more time to be alive. Better to use that gold building towers all over your base. Besides, if you build it, it might die anyway. 3500 gold is a cannon/static spire right!? Why waste it on a spawn point for your team when towers are uber and help you win.
If you are commander, and someone asks to be healed, or rezzed. Tell them you can't. They don't know any better anyway. They don't know that you really could revive them. Then tell them that every time you rez someone they die, and tell them they are stupid for asking for a rez. Even more so, when they are in the enemy base and ask for one, tell them that they should be killing the 1 red dot at your base, so you will not rez them. The players are stupid anyway.
Speaking of stupid players, tell them all to donate all their money all the time. Explain to them how it's their fault the academy was destroyed when it was placed in front of 6 enemies, and that if they knew how to defend, they would have legos. Tell them to donate their money for a new academy or pred den, and when you have enough money, build a tower instead. They don't know what the hell they want anyway, and since they can't defend, a tower will be better than tech anyway.
Build all of your tech at your expansion bases always. Then tell your action players that they suck for not being able to defend the expansion, and that is why your tech is gone.
And finally, if you choose to become commander, be sure you build at the closest gold mine you can to the enemy, and put down your sub/gar when there are at least 5 enemy dots there. Don't worry, you will have about 9 guys as builder to be able to build it and then repair it after that. Don't worry that it will cost about 7,000 gold to get it down and healed, it will be worth it when you have a spawn there for about 2 minutes. Once said garrision is up, be sure you put down as many towers as you can before building tech. Towers win games.
