Lifetime Rating for [Xodus]: 6.0000 |  | Thought I should give this a try so here we go:
Map:
The ever so famous "Lost Temple"
Game speed:
Faster
Players:
Me ( Protoss ), DJ~French something ( I'll just call
him DJ, Terran )
I was looking for som BW action and ended up
creating this public game and DJ agreed to
join. I was a little bit worried when DJ asked
if we could do a 2vs1 comp on Temple, but I convinced
him that it would be more fun if we played a 1vs1.
Game time.
My Nexus spawned in at the 12:00 position.
I started with a pylon on 7/9 support and then
2 probes, gateway, 2 probes, gateway and a
zealot as soon as the first gateway warped in.
I sent this formidable warrior on a shift+right click
tour from 3:00, 9:00 and finally found DJ at 6:00.
Buy this time he had built a bunker + 2 supply depots
way out near his 2nd natural mineral only expansion.
After taking some pot shots from the marines stationed
in the bunker I decided to leave Mr Zeal there to keep
a close eye on DJ's future action plans. I was thinking
drop time, DJ's main must be scattered if he is trying
to build a choke out here :)
While Mr Zeal was carrying out the scouting task I
keept spawning more zeals from the double gates rallying
the guys at my ramp and I also smacked down an
assimilator and a cyb core.
Mr Zeal had not been around long when an SCV prowled
by and lured him on a goose chase, i noticed this action
and saw that Mr Zeal was way to heavy to be able to
catch the SCV, so I commanded him to stay put.
During this time I also started an expansion at my
natural. I didn't want DJ to see this so i commanded
2 zeals to intercept DJ's SCV. Doing some nice turns,
not noticing my expansion, DJ's managed to move the
SCV past my troops ( sigh ). He got a good peek of
my main and saw my robotics bay warping in. Well I
quickly ordered up a shuttle asap and loaded 4
voulentary zeals into it.
During this time Mr Zeal didn't report any agression
what so ever. I ordered my shuttle to take the western
route,passing the northwest island, the 9:00 natural
and the 9:00 main, but there was no mining activities
in progress. Mean while I warped in more zeals and
some goons ( without range upgrade ). I also started
the speed upgrade on my zeals in case he was gonna
tank push me.
I then targetted DJ's peon line and dropped the zeals
on top of it. I could only hear the sound of psi blades
as I turned my attention to the newly warped in templar
archive.
I ordered production of two DT's and some goons, and at the
same instant I get the message that DJ is attacking me.
This proved to be true as DJ was eliminating my zeals in
his peon line, not before I had killed close to 8 SCV's,
tough :) The production in his main was halted for now.
Mr Zeal was still untouched during this drop.
The shuttle returned and I loaded it with 2 DT's and
2 ( now speed upgraded ) zeals. I now took the east
route, but yet again no expansions. Thinking of the last
drop, i steered the shuttle to the same spot as before.
"Lo and behold" there was some turrets there now, so he
had some spare minerals´left.
I took some heavy turret fire and managed to drop my cargo
with the shuttle in the yellow. I touched down right by his
academy and took it out quickly, he moved up some marines
and made my zeals eat led for lunch, but not before they
executed a couple of chops on his comsat. I followed up with
the DT's on the comsat and it exploded. As the comsat got
smoked DJ dropped out of the game.
Lessons learned:
-DT's rock if they dont have detection :)
-A bunker near the CC covering the peon line is healty.
-Protect your comsat !
-Dont spread your base to much.
-Zeals aren't faster then SCV's ( before upgrade )
