Cell Phase Tips
Sep 17 2008, 11:58 AM EDT | Post edited: Sep 17 2008, 11:58 AM EDT
Let's share our best cell phase tips and tricks. We can discuss them in the discussion forum on this thread, then put the best ones on the spore cell phase tips page: http://www.sporeillustrated.com/page/Spore+Cell+Phase+Tips

Here are the first two I added:
* If you want to be an omnivore, add both kinds of mouths and put them all on one end (usually one mouth in the middle and two of the other type just to the side of it. This allows you to eat any type of food fast.
* Adding big spikes are a good way to defend yourself. If they stick out far enough, a quick spin move when you are being attacked will slice up the attacking cell.

Also if you have elictricity put it on you back and you can take out big cells by spinning at the last second. 10  out of 13 found this valuable. Do you?

yes weapons are good to get more food if you are an omnivore or carnivore and they are good to defend with. If you are an any of the three types of cells(herbivore,omnivore,or carnivore,) try to get as much speed as you can so you can run from other predators or chase your prey better. 10  out of 12 found this valuable.

Some more tips after a bit more expierence:
Omnivore
Dustpaint's mouth tip is true - one in the middle and 2 on the side (I prefer carnivore in the middle)
Once you get the omnivore mouth (which is actually a great attacking mouth) when you go suck someone up, you can spin them around and use them as a shield to an oncoming predator.

Carnivore
The omnivore mouth i find is the best carnivor mouth
It is easier to play late cell stage as a carnivore, but harder in early game.
You want a balance between attack and speed (see my other post for a good build)

Herbivore
Harder late cell stage, but easier early cell stage
You practically only want speed so just put jets on first, and then when you can afford it put on 5 flagella

General
When putting on body parts, shrink all your body parts to the smallest size and then place them, this way you can fit more parts closer together and get them exactly where you want them, then you can enlarge them again( use mouse scroll for this)
mating is a good way to get away from a predator
Spikes i find are the best weapon
jets are the most cost efficient speed booster, but flagella are the best (IMO)
Do you find this valuable?
