#3. Posted on August 09, 2007 02:05 AM. I remember back in the day when I actually posted here. Lucky for you blokes I'm back, for at least a little while. The structure looks alright. It has it's ups and downs, as most things do. @ 20, I couldn't disagree more with the campaign screen. I just want to play the missions and learn the storyline that way. I don't want to deal with subplots of the Hyperion and have KOTOR style conversations with other people on board. Might just be me. Anyone think I should return to my re ...

#12. Posted on May 20, 2006 05:11 PM. Not bad. I havent commented on strats for awhile but decided to comment on this one. It is basic, but does a good job of being basic. Common things that even pros sometimes forget aren't a bad thing. Its good to refresh our memories of the basics every now and then. Being fairly well written, the only large suggestion I have is to make it longer. Perhaps a few more tips could be included, because there sure are more, but that's not too important. I'm going to say Good. -sniper ... Click here to view this comment. |

#21. Posted on April 30, 2006 11:02 PM. I LIKE this strategy. Im finally back from a little StarCraft free vacation and can respond to some strategies. This was not bad. I am a fan of early goon rushing. Not if it isnt supported with Zealots though. If your enemy is zerg and has a good number of zerglings, the goons are gone. Sure, the reavers will help, but while the reavers kill the goons, out pop the hydras. Things could turn ugly. BUT WAIT! Things can turn ugly with every strat.

Do they have to beat you with thier strat to prove it is good? Anyways, this strategy is nice because it is short and effective.

#40. Posted on April 13, 2006 04:44 PM. Well this was not a bad strat, nor a great one. The choke defense is very concentrated as Grim mentioned. If any enemy is sneaking around behind you, things could get ugly. I would suggest perhaps some patrolling wraiths or valkyries and some extra turrets. Also maybe a couple SCV's next to the choke defense for repair. The offense for non-island maps is not too bad. The basic tank push is also great when accompanied by vultures.

The section leader can just be a regular member of the group unless the voting is very close or something. Then the section leader can make the official decision. Also, if the section leader likes something that no one else in the small group likes, he is overpowered (I think "veto" is the word). Now this is sounding like a political system...

#42. Posted on April 12, 2006 04:12 PM. You think so? Sure, I am satisfied with StarCraft as a game. That doesn't mean I don't want a movie. Perhaps Blizzard could create a new storyline? Things might get confusing but they could easily change units and make it really cool. I just thought of this plotline... A small Terran Force is flying in a BC when it gets heavily damaged and crashes on some unknown planet. The only survivors are some marines, ghosts, a few medics, and perhaps a general.

#52. Posted on April 02, 2006 04:54 PM. Zerg players do not have to mass. I have won many games with only 3 or 4 hatcheries. One at each expansion. A Zerg player will not certainly lose without numerical advantage. Once again, it all comes back to micromanaging and APM. One problem with the Overlord hunting strategy though. Most Zerg players are used to playing against this. They will most likely build extra overlords just to be prepared. I'll give this an average. -sniper ... Click here to view this comment. |

#58. Posted on March 16, 2006 10:41 PM. This is a pretty good strat. One thing I picked out though was letting your opponent know what the enemy is doing. Shouldn't you always do this and not only when you are practically dead? If I see an enemy expanding or mobilizing etc, I tell my team immediately in case they don't know about it. One quick thing I would like to add is when you are Terran and successfully have your lifted CC reach your allies base, don't steal their resources. They can use them more effectively than you can. ... Click here to view this comment. |

Having an arb back at the base for retreat isn't a bad thing. If you get in a situation similar to yours, you can recall back to your base and stay safe.

For example, 3-4 reavers and around 12-15 zealots. How much does this army cost? Lets see, hmmmm the reavers are 600-800 mins and 3-400 gas. But wait, the scarabs. for only 5 scarabs, 125 mo ...

For example, another way for Terran to see other cloaked terran units. EMP the little blurs and no more energy means no more cloak.

This strategy is most effective if the burrowed units are farther away, out of normal positions for comsat etc. Also, leaving some overlords around gives the hydras a chance to destroy enemy detectors.

#81. Posted on February 15, 2006 04:06 PM. Well I'm going to agree with Grim on this one. As not forgetting things is one of the main differences between average level players and pro players. This could possibly have some use but it is very limited. If you know the map you are playing on, you can see on the minimap where things are on the map and know what they are from their position. For example, it is easy to tell the difference between an expansion and a small group of units on the mini map. This strategy could definitly not hu ... Click here to view this comment. |

I dont think any strategy needs to be written because it is easy for a newb to win a comp stomp rather easily.

#84. Posted on February 11, 2006 12:00 PM. A rather well written strat. I am not much of a Zerg player myself but this still makes sense to me. You told everything to get in advance and then how to take out those pesky tanks. My favorite part though, was including what your opponent might do and supply the counters. Well Done. I personally thought the burrowed zerglings around the Defilers was a new original idea! I had never heard it at least.

I played at fastest for about a week and then went to a LAN party with some friends and no fastest was allowed.

And Grim, the only reason I would not use the shuttle is because nearly all Terran players will have tanks supported by goliaths or marines or some anti air defense. To use a shuttle to drop through those defenses could get tricky. Possibly requiring more forces than you currently have available.

This just escapes me. EMP can help in any losing battle to turn the tide giving your units a chance to win. If your playing a toss that has 6 carriers and you have 6 wraiths and 2 bc, you are screwed. But not if a well placed EMP knocks out those carriers shields, then the tide has turned in your favor. -sniper ... Click here to view this comment. |

Once it is safe back in your base, it can rest there for the moment. Any good terran player would build a new science vessel right? That is just another one to mc.

With the zlots in the shuttle, the time of the zlots rushing towards the target and getting attacked is reduced.
