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

[QUOTE=Auster;23846820]Finally, you got it done nice work![/QUOTE] Thanks, turns out the problem was I had fucked up big time with some of the trigger's Actions. [editline]02:30PM[/editline] [QUOTE=LeonS;23846838]Mobile ground AA, I like it.[/QUOTE] It's overpowered as hell right now, [B]all[/B] STs start with that at no extra cost. This was mostly an experiment though, not really meant for a custom map. [editline]02:31PM[/editline] [QUOTE=mercurius;23846923]Good job, can you make one with Tychus looking out of the hatch and wielding his minigun?[/QUOTE] Should be the same principle, just attach minigun Tychus and make it so the lower part of his body is inside the tank. Will try. Also here's a tutorial: [url]http://sc2mod.com/board/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=89[/url] (it's not very clear, so I had to look at the second image and work from that one).

Make a tank that fires Viking rockets at the marine's rate of fire

Is it legal to ask for a guest pass in here? If anyone has a spare I would like one.

Sure, no one minds it.

Thats so awesome! I may have to give it a go myself :D

That's awesome right there

Okay repost...I would like a guest pass. Can't wait to try out the editor! Don't have money for it yet :8

[QUOTE=Xera;23844592] - Series of commentated videos - [/QUOTE] That's the hardest I've laughed in weeks. I need a new hobby >:

Looks good nontheless, now we only need something to justifiy to put these things in our custom maps. Anyway, I could imagine these being used in side-scroll shooters. One controls the tank, the other one Tychus. I might go for a round StarChess II today if I find the time.

[editline]03:20PM[/editline] Also if I resized a Viking and put it in the turret of the Siege Tank the wings (and rocket launchers) would come out of the sides of the turret (while the main body is hidden). Oh well, will try that tomorrow, I've had quite enough of the editor for today.

Should I play SC1 before SC2? And how long is SC1 approximately?

[QUOTE=Talishmar;23847873]Should I play SC1 before SC2? And how long is SC1 approximately?[/QUOTE] I didnt, hasnt effected my playing experiance at all.

[QUOTE=Kendra;23845723]It's bloody cheap though. What's fun about using cheap strategies?[/QUOTE] It's a strat used in pro games. You should be able to counter it.

ok awesome game... server listing is crap, even warcraft 3's outdated server listings made more sense!

The only cheap tactic IMO is spamming void rays in the practice league. There are people who only play protoss and play all 50 games the same way just to make their e-peen bigger.

Platinum 1v1 is handing my ass to me. Why did I get put there anyway? D:

I'm trying to Proxy Pylon, done it once and it worked well :dance:. Why is it 'cheesey' though?

[QUOTE=Auster;23848263]Vikings/corruptors/whatever the protoss' version of AA is.[/QUOTE] I usually have a few of them in my base before I even get to a starport because I don't know what he's building because of the rocks.

[QUOTE=Amsay;23848444]I usually have a few of them in my base before I even get to a starport because I don't know what he's building because of the rocks.[/QUOTE] That's why the practice league is stupid. Skip it and play real matches. Who cares about ranking, honestly?

[QUOTE=Simples;23848389]I'm trying to Proxy Pylon, done it once and it worked well :dance:. Why is it 'cheesey' though?[/QUOTE] Because people who bitch about it are butthurt over losing.

[QUOTE=Xera;23848459]That's why the practice league is stupid. Skip it and play real matches. Who cares about ranking, honestly?[/QUOTE] I would have but I was playing on a friend's account, and he wanted to stay in it because he was a noob.

Built 5 anti-air turrets at the left side of a protoss base without him noticing, shot down 6 void rays and then took him out with 2 ghosts and a thor :D

[QUOTE=LeonS;23848463]Because people who bitch about it are butthurt over losing.[/QUOTE] uh no Cheese generally refers to an all-in strategy that relies on surprise to win a game early without serious resistance. A successfully executed cheese attack will catch the enemy early in their opening, while sacrificing early game macro. Players able to resist the all-in push of a cheese build can often expect an early victory or at least a strong advantage going into the mid-game as the opposing player must make significant sacrifices to early game economy to properly execute the cheese. straight from the TL wiki
