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

Added everyone that's in EU from the OP. I suck pretty bad at this game though, they put me to bronze league. :v: And the very first match in the bronze league was against a silver guy... I won that one though.

[QUOTE=Strikebango;23756590]Does anyone got some tips for Protoss vs Terran on 1vs1?[/QUOTE] Make sure you build enough units earlier on to defend an early marauder push or reaper harass. So many players lose to the early Terran MM timing attack just because they don't build enough. You can get away with a small number of units if you have a small ramp/choke and sentries, but unless you are pro this will be hard to pull off. It is easier to delay your tech/expansion slightly by getting more units, you will be using the units later on in your own attack anyway. Fast void rays can be really good and force the Terran player to build more marines than normal or vikings. The benefit of doing this is if the Terran player does not notice your stargate and goes mass marauder or tries to tech to tanks it is pretty much an instant win. It does also open up phoenixes mid game if they go mech as picking up their tanks is super useful. You will also have a stargate already this way if they go cattlebruisers, drop a fleet beacon and build carriers if you have the economy. The carrierd should do well as long as you have plenty of stalkers and HTs. When you are teching to high templar make sure you get it at the right time, if you have only a small number of zealots and stalkers then don't tech up just yet. HTs are designed to augment your existing army not hold their own. Once you have them storms will rip through MMM armys and feedback will do well against ravens, cattlebruisers and ghosts. Archons can be useful once your HTs are out of energy, they do a lot of damage, they are also pretty good and taking tank shots. The most important thing you can do in this match up is scout, you need to know if the Terran player is going mech or bio and adjust your unit mix accordingly.

Anyone up for any kind of match? 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, vs AI or Custom? Just send me a message to: [QUOTE=onox37;23654225] [b]pdkm931[/b] Username: Pdboy Region: EU Char. Code: 401 [/QUOTE] ^Before asking, it's from the OP.

Heh, now that I'm not at home I find all possible good data editor tutorials.

I found out where I can get the Civilian and other Campaign units and buildings. NOW I can really start using the editor.

Anybody have any good tips or all round good tactics for protoss ? It's my fav race and I'm new to starcraft.

I got on golden league but I have no chance there :(

I am not very good at this, got it yesterday. Going to start playing multi player soon, might never get out bronze league.

After sucking down a few qualification matches, i changed tactic. I use 4gate rush and 2gate phoenix rush. Both of them are awesome and i'll try them out.

[url="http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Main_Page"]Liquipedia[/url] is a rather good place to go for info on strategies. The articles for the units usually have some good info on how and when to use them, too. It's not very fleshed out yet, but it's probably a great start for beginners.

Hmm it's now this or mafia II... Tought choice.

Arggh, battle.net account ain't working. Really want this game.

[QUOTE=Paravin;23757696]man the fuck up[/QUOTE] bawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, no its just very cliche.

My friend's trying to activate a guest pass but everytime we go to [url]www.starcraft2.com/guest[/url] like it says to activate, firefox claims it's an unsecure connection. Help?

Im trying to use the steam overlay in SC2, but when i use it i cant connect to battle.net, is there any reason for this? am i the only one getting this? Multiplayer works fine without the steam overlay but i would like to use it!

[QUOTE=Angua;23759327]Hmm it's now this or mafia II... Tought choice.[/QUOTE] This.

Anyone got any tips for [quote] One Shot, Fifty Kills! (10) Kill 50 units with a single Penetrator Round in the "Belly of the Beast" mission on Hard difficulty. [/quote]

[QUOTE=Angua;23759327]Hmm it's now this or mafia II... Tought choice.[/QUOTE] Well this game is already out so...

I can't seem to find a decent area to get all the infested terrans lined up. [editline]05:41PM[/editline] Fuck my automerge

On the second area there will be just a giant swarm of infested terrans pull back to a narrow valley and get everyone away then just wait for them to get close and use the penetrator round

Thanks, I'll try it when i wake up tommorow. Also, just got [quote]Hurry Up: It's Raid Night Complete the Wings of Liberty campaign under 8 hours of total played mission time on Normal difficulty. [/quote] Even though i did it all on Brutal =( [editline]05:50PM[/editline] Oh wait i didn't, i remember one of my saves broke. [editline]06:03PM[/editline] k night guys

I wonder how the choices are going to affect HotS. Hopefully they will, because they really didn't influence much in WoT other than a cutscene and a unit. Also how are we going to get around with the Zerg? Overlords are incredibly slow and I hardly see the Hyperion housing the swarm. Maybe we will get a Leviathan?

Ok, my terran army got destroyed by a group of 9 or so stalkers, 2 or 3 colossi, and 1 immortal. What was I supposed to have built? Mass marauders, siege tanks, and vikings? Ghosts? Thors?

Thats why she has to regain control in HoTS [/sp]

Which makes no sense, so first we return her to human (in like 6 missions too, felt like it was one of those "In the previous episodes" due to how fast it all was done), then for some reason she can still control the Zerg (again, it makes no sense if she's human now), and then we have to get her powers back (which unless I'm mistaken came from the Zerg genetic improvements, so if she's human how the hell will that work?). I really do hope the writing will improve in HotS.[/sp]
