1) explore map - important to see where rush will come from. also see what level of production your opponent is at (how many VTS he have?)
2) match your opponents production - build equal amount of VTS so you can build units just as fast.
3) try to counter-attack away from base - keep the fight away from your buildings to minimize losing them. DO PROTECT HQ.
4) defend the flank - watch for attack from side/behind
5) build defensive units - cyclops + rocket troops
6) adapt to the rush - build the unit that will easily destroy what they rush with. |

Dr. Slimjim's guide to surviving against rush attacks in 100k limits:
1. Make three VTSs and DON'T start making broadswords after you make your three eagle scouts.
2. Make an R&D and research VTS ASAP. While this is happening make a generator and another VTS.
3. Make many hydras and make more VTSs to get more hydras.
4. If you did this all superfast (and you really gotta do it superfast) you will have an adequate defense against a broadsword rush attack.
5. Above all have your three eagle scouts constantly scouting the map!!! It's mega-important that you do this!!!

Your basing your defended on maps that are fairly large. Playing maps like tight budget, crazy or unlimbit where the teams are based fairly close to each other is hard to defend. Even that arena unlimited FFA map I played last night is rushable

For these maps you mention, the trick is to rush. if you try to defend, 90% chance you lose against a good player. so just rush.
ya the defense strategies above work for larger maps (100k limits)

I remember when I used to be one of the best at crazy, you could defend rush attacks easily cos you had 4 hq, you can build fast and still pwn by upgrading. That map you could rush faster by upgrading than not.. Lol.

Defense is one of the best strategies on unlimbit! Get to limit reached and make as wide an arc as possible so there is no way they can flank u, then in the time before try attack u can make your buildings in a nice position.

the main stragergy for unlimbit is to build as high up as possible. get the advantage of the high ground luls
