Starcraft II Megathread V.1 'Hell, It's About Time' - Games

I haven't got far in SC2 now, I just [sp]got to the world where you steal some terranize from the protoss[/sp] and I'm having a hard time to fight those protoss. How do I approach protoss the best way? I'm not on that mission now though, I've passed it. (I'm a noob, I know)

[QUOTE=GoldenBullet;23968645]I haven't fought many Protoss yet as Terran, I don't really know what they are capable of[/QUOTE] Not many people play Toss, it seems

I just got Starcraft 1 today just to play through the campaign. Pretty interesting so far. I loved the intro cutscene with the guy rocking back and forth.

[QUOTE=waylander;23968653]Once i registered my key it still gave me of option to download it and someone else said the dvd isnt required to play[/QUOTE] Nope, DVD is just for install as to play you have to login with your Battle.net account. But always good to have a retail copy if someone hijacks your account, as then you can give them the CD key and maybe help you a bit more :smile: Also good to have a DVD if your internet is slow.

Yesss... 10 wins in an evening. I'm nr 1 on bronze league! Probably get owned if i go up to silver though. I play protoss btw.

Wait nevermind [editline]04:33PM[/editline] FYI cheese doesn't really work against decent players

I always build backup if I'm spotted. I had to fight off zerglings with my probes, while I was destroying his base.

How is this not locked yet?

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23969121]You should probably work on playing like a decent player instead of playing retard roulette every game[/QUOTE] Maybe, in the future.

[QUOTE=Crimor;23969158]Spam marines and medics, instant win on that mission.[/QUOTE] I tried a mix with marines and good old goliaths.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23968842]Not many people play Toss, it seems[/QUOTE] Not true, terran and protoss are the most played by a bit. And I get that no unit can really counter mass void rays, so what the fuck do you do to stop that? You can't always just harass or stop them from getting them, so what're you supposed to do?

Yes. They are expensive and lateish tech so it's not really hard. [editline]04:49PM[/editline] Hydras and marines counter them beautifully so it's not hard to mass an army that can take them on.

Still no one in EU wanna go for some 2 vs 2? :frown:

Well tell me what I'm doing wrong then johnny [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?1ibgi4i2o3po9pd[/url]

Which one are you? [editline]05:09PM[/editline] First thing you did wrong was not scout. [editline]05:11PM[/editline] Next thing was only one gateway. Third thing was the forge, you should go cybernetics core then wing it, stalkers give you a ranged advantage over Zerg until they get Hydras. Fourth was that you had access to stalkers, than let the overlord stay, that's basically saying, hey, watch what I'm doing.

[QUOTE=Kylel999;23968236]If you ever meet a Zerg who [I]doesn't[/I] try rushing in a 1v1 you win. If you still manage to lose, you suck.[/QUOTE] I play zerg and don't rush, and I am in diamond. :cool:

Oh. Your build order looks good for Zerg, but you should be expanding quick, you need to take advantage of the fact hatcheries only cost 350, you need a good economy to keep pumping out units. You need to constantly be producing units to max out your pop and replace dead units.

You need to constantly be producing units to max out your pop and replace dead units.[/QUOTE] I've been working on expanding quicker, but keeping a small force to defend it, it'd be a waste to expand with no ability to defend it, no?

You expanded really late, and you're not putting enough units out. You're at 40 something supply right now where I am with an army of all ling and hydra den up and doing nothing. Also, you need to keep up scouting so you know what the fuck he's doing at all times. Or attacking. Something that gives you info. Zerglings are throwaway units that come 2 at once. Grab the towers with them. I'm flabbergasted by the dumbness of the toss player. Pumping out T1s with 1 gateway and no warpgates. Hilarious tbh.

You should have a lot more drones, I believe its 3 drones per mineral field as toss and zerg, a little less for Terrans due to the fact they get Mules.

[QUOTE=darkrei9n;23969949]You should have a lot more drones, I believe its 3 drones per mineral field as toss and zerg, a little less for Terrans due to the fact they get Mules.[/QUOTE] It's the same for toss, but when you put 3 on a field they only harvest at half capacity. However, optimally it's 24 peons on mins at each expo.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;23969940]I've been working on expanding quicker, but keeping a small force to defend it, it'd be a waste to expand with no ability to defend it, no?[/QUOTE] Metalopolis is a very safe expand because it's basically impossible to go for your main and dodge the expo since it's so close to the ramp. Well, maybe not VERY safe but fairly safe.

I know about the whole 3-3 ratio for the minerals/gas, but I keep forgetting to max them on each expansion. When should I be expanding? How early? 16 or earlier?

Last things you did wrong, you let him get to void rays, you also stopped expanding, you are zerg. You should own the entire map. Good job on expanding the creep though.

[editline]09:29PM[/editline] And yes keep getting expansions. You'll need them.
