Had to make a thread about this. Just finished a 3 hour game as alien commander on the mineshaft map. Acquiring a third hive seemed nearly impossible though we had more resource nodes. What made this insane was that the majority of the team were either oni or fade and with a few gorges. Half of their team had exos. How we ended up winning was that because they had so many exos it made their beacons progressively weaker until they couldn't get their exos from sorting (which we had just lost, but had gained repair shortly before, allowing me to spawn a couple onos eggs to recoup our losses) to counter our counterattack at their main base at operations. That crippling loss devastated them to where they had to face a herd of angry oni and fades with no upgrades at depot while vainly trying to base race us with a few exos. It didn't end well for them, however, it ended well for us as I can now go to sleep feeling like a boss. The whole map was just a shitstorm of losing sorting, countering and claiming repair, losing repair and countering by reclaiming sorting and so on.

This also made me a firm believer of the Shift-->Crag-->Shade (which I never got to build) build.
