You should have clearly let out the strategy questions since there IS NO single best answer. Hell, I don't even see my opinion as option sometimes. And in 99% of times you could just say "depends.."

Same goes for single tactics, but I bet Tane will already teach you ;>

best thing to take out in base rush? ... SO depends if Armory is upgrading or arms lab is wporking . or maybe if obs is upgrading .. or depends on if AA alrdy went down and u need proto to die .. AS blind said NO definite answer there .. and ur options for that one suck !

What blind said, basically. I'll give you one example, but it applies to many of the questions:

5. Best building to take out when baserushing early/late game

Conventional wisdom would be to take down the obs first, both early and late game. In most circumstances this would be the right choice, too. Sometimes however, it isn't, so it depends on the circumstances.

Said circumstances are: Is the armory upgrading or upgraded, how many aliens do you have in the baserush, is the obs upgrading, do you have focus fades, is there an active PG, and many more.

Early game it depends on whether you are trying to win the game with the baserush or just delay marine tech. It also depends on whether or not you're baserushing while they're nuking your RTs or if you're baserushing because the opportunity presented it self.

If you're baserushing while they're nuking your RTs or you're baserushing to win the game then and there, always kill the obs first. If you're baserushing just to delay or because the opportunity presented itself, killing the arms lab/obs/armory or even the IP are are all equally viable options.

If the arms lab is upgrading, you can delay a1 by nuking it which is great. If you kill the obs first there's a chance marines will make it back to base in time to prevent you from raping the rest of the base in time. Killing the obs it self isn't a great setback for the marines. If it's upgrading, it could either be phase tech or MT. MT delayed is a great setback, phase tech is a minor setback. Personally I'd go for the upgrading arms instead of the obs if I knew the obs was just phase tech (but that also depends, if I know the comm relies heavily on early map control with early pgs then...). If the armory is upgrading, the choice is obvious: nuke the armory and ruin the fast AA strat. If you don't have enough skulks to kill the armory before beacon finishes though, you have to kill the obs first. Lastly, killing the IP can be very effective too. If obs/armslab/armory isn't upgrading, nuking the IP can actually delay the marines a lot. Best case scenario they get several marines in the spawn queue before the new IP is up, worst case scenario they have to send one marine back to rebuild the IP which means one less marine in the field.

Late game things change a bit. Armory/obs/PG/proto/armslab are all viable options. Kill the obs if you want to take down many structures, but if the marines are near base or can just jump through the PG this is a waste of time. If MT is upgrading, if they're running to build PGs somewhere or if they have no other way than beacon to get back to base however, it may be the best choice to kill first.

If you have focus fades, nuking the armslab can win the game then and there. A good two hive focus fade can solo the entire marine team and win the game with focus against a0 marines.

If they have a PG in base, the best option may actually be to meatgrind the PG in base and THEN either kill obs, run out and nuke a PG on the map before they rebuild in base, or nuke another structure.

If the armory is upgraded or upgrading, it's an obvious target.

If the proto lab is upgrading however, it may be a better target than the armory. If you have two hives, it's best to kill the AA to prevent HMG chasers, but if you're stuck on one hive, it's more important to delay those jetpacks. Even JP-SGs terrorize one hive fades and will end the game there and then.

...and that's only a fraction of what can be said about the subject.

Exactly, but what you failed to notice is that you have 5 options to work with and you do not need to make own conditions.

Great Post Fana btw

LITERALLY_AUTIST

Fair enough, TrC, but I don't see how you can disconnect those options from the conditions ingame. Your question is based upon an "early/late game" scenario, but there are millions of different early/late game scenarios. I can't pick the "right" option without more information.

1E
2D
3A (parasite = 1st hive ability)
4E (competitively, OCs go in building hives that are being pressured or in all hives when facing JPs; on pubs, OCs go to major choke-points like EJ/WS on Veil and marines get owned)
5A (E can be correct if there is still only 1 Observatory in late game; B can be correct for the same reason and if there is no Observatory in the early game; C is possible but unlikely http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXEebrxAN7Y; D is possible if the armory is upgrading)
6B
7E (even walking can get you decloaked such as if you are near an Observatory or even if you turn too fast)
8B (armory up front for sgs+mines; question is vague - 'gone to spawncamp'? = 'gone to get owned'? 'entered the hive to spawncamp?' 'are spawncamping?')
9C (C is the only useful answer for the question; B is the best option even though it doesn't answer the question; these are all wrong anyway; correct way is to build an armory, drop shotguns, and win)
10D (D is correct if marines play badly and a fade goes up too fast; A and C is contingent on the playstyle of the marines while fast motion is going; B is similar to D)
11A (it's Bunnyhop or is this some derivative?)
12A (early-middle stage usually involves pressure on the second alien hive - at this point marine RTs are often left alone as aliens defend against marine offensive; B is correct if your team is playing defensively; C assumes your teammate has a clue of what is going on; D makes sense in case you need to build a PG in base or something else)
13A (any of the other options can stall the initiation and risk having each skulk going in alone; B just puts marines on guard; C and D are situational at best; E is too subjective)
14C (if you are 'baiting' for somebody else, C is right; the other options don't make sense even though E is loosely associated but is not a definition)
15C (draw fire and dodge - not run away; A for shitty skulks; B doesn't make sense since it is one marine; D doesn't work; E can be done with C)
16C (if the first marine does not check corners, the other marines assume that the corners are clear if the front marine does not get attacked - this sets the group up to get ambushed badly)
17A (most expendable soldier goes first)
18C (almost always - except if the marines at the front are not surviving; when something happens at the front, an ambush can often start simultaneously from the back)
19D (obviously you want to put the chamber in a safe place and far from the hive to allow for distanced lifeforms needing healing or quick movement back to the hive; A is safe but useless; B is only for hardgorges; C can be correct depending on RT position; E is the optimal place for 3rd or additional MCs)
20D (D is maybe slightly more important than E)
