For EotS, I can't stress enough, 3 bases >>>>> flag running!!!!! 3 bases outscores 1 base with constant capping.

My strat is to jump off from start, head to DR, heal up, check to see if horde are coming to me. If others are with me, I go as soon as i'm full hp to BeT. If not, I ask for help at DR and then go to BeT as son as we get control of DR.

To get BeT, horde will often not have many people there, as everyone loves flag running (lol noobs) which means you dont have to fight, just run to the back of the base, bottom of cliff, and cap. Then that's it. You can defend BeT and DR easily with 2-3 other people, other 8 can hold MT.

Games are more complicated than that, but that's the general outline. Also, greatly helps if you say to take 3 bases and not run flag before game starts. Some won't listen, but some will, just be polite and don't respond to trolls. Once you start winning points with 3 bases, even with enemy flag capping, you just remind people to hold 3 bases to win.
