So, I thought I'd do something I've always wanted to do, and have a lot of fun doing it, too... Create the ultimate fleet of carriers. Now, I'm sure you all have wanted to do this at one point in time or another, but I actually got around to doing it. In total, I got 108 carriers. I would've had 120, but I had to leave my friend's soon, so we thought we'd just stop at 9 full control groups of carriers. And how's this for interesting: StarCraft stops counting once you get over 1000 control, as seen here.
At that point, I estimate that I had about 1050 control for Protoss, 864 in Carriers, the rest for 3 dozen Dark Archons and a bunch of probes. Of course, this whole thing wouldn't be possible without the ever-impressive Mind Control, allowing me to steal all 108 carriers from my buddy - he just rallied them to the center in groups of 12, and my DA's took turns stealing them. I then filled them up with interceptors, upgraded them to 3/3/3, and grouped them.
(Though if you ask me, it would've been more fun if it weren't just me, my friend, and a dumb comp)
Here, we can see the evil that was my carriers at about the time I had to leave my friend's. That would be them in the top right. The triangle on the right was a whole buncha pylons, 15 if I count right, providing me with most of the food I needed to feed the DA's. Also on the right, was the crippled comp... yes, it was cruel to surround his minerals with cannons, but that's just the kind of guy I am ;)
"What about the fleet," you ask? Well, here's some nice pics of them...
To the left are the carriers heading north to my buddy, after taking a pit-stop to clean out the comp's nexus. That took less time than surrounding the thing with 3/3 cracklings (allied) and then un-allying. Downright evil.
Below, there is another shot of them, as they attack my buddy's base. Note the shadows below the fleet. Note the alt-text.
While I'd like to keep going, I don't quite have the quality of shots that I'd like. I said I had to leave halfway through, right?
Anyway, we did save the game, and when next we meet, we're gonna try getting me the other 12 carriers, making a full 120 (at 960 food), and then pit them against the ultimate defences money can buy on BGH... And since each of us has all 3 races, we can just make all the defences we want in one map ^_^
So, when we get that one done, please don't hesitate to stop in and visit again.
