Lifetime Rating for [PredatorHunter: 5.4000 |   | Ok I am going to attempt to redo that last battle report. I do have pictures but to say the least am not sure how to load them up.. Overall it was a good game but I personally think that the Protoss were built to dominate Zerg. If someone would be so kind as to show me how to load the pictures and/or the HTML thing that you spoke of I would appreciate it. Ok now onto the redone text only.
1vs1 At Ashrigo
I started as Brown Protoss in the upper left corner and my enemy was White Zerg in the lower right corner. After I had started a Pylon I decided to scout to find out where my enemy was and also what race he was. I searched the upper right corner first and then proceeded to move on down the line. I found him in the lower left and he had two hatcheries and an extractor when I found him. I stayed in his base for a short time but moved out because my probe kept trying to attack things. He did notice the probe and did ask if I wouldn't rush. I really wasn't wanting to get into a long drawn out game but said ok and I didn't rush him. My first defense was three cannons on that little lip (if you play Ashrigo and started in the upper left you will know what I was talking about). Of course the reason I did that was that controll of the high ground can save you in most cases. Unless of course them manage to overwhelm it. I continued up the tech tree to Dark Templar (Dark Archon) and Templar with Psionic Storm. I was also slowy reaching to get Reavers and try to attempt the Reaver drop.
To further bolster my defense, I placed 2 dark Templar into an exit near my base and had them hold position. I also set a Templar behind them for the storm. My thinking in this would be that if he attacked by ground without support I could kill most of his men (with storm) while they (his men) continued to pace back and forth not getting to my Templar.I did end up placing a few cannons on low ground so that even if my Templar were unable to finish them off cannons would still provide a constant attack. While I was busy setting the defense up he was in the prosess of hatching Mutalisk. I got 2 reavers and loaded them both into a shuttle. (yes i know most people use one reaver and one dragoon. However I find that with the splash damage and high damage amount that a reaver is capable of it costs the enemy more money to have two reavers unloaded on them.) I used an observer to scout his base for the best possible entrance into it. I found that the lower left side had nothing but a pack of overlords in it. I sent the shuttle down and unloaded reavers behind where his drones should have been, he did ,however, pull his drones out for an expansion prior to this attack.
Since he began morphing mutas right as I dropped the reavers they were able to deal significant damage before the Muta's hatched and brought down both reavers. Since I now knew he was using mutalisk I was wanting to get Corsair ASAP I was running short of minerals in my main and expansion base so I expanded to the farthest down expansion while he did so to the top most. I also got a stargate and began to warp in the corsair that way I could defend the imminent attack. The attack came from my right side. He didn't go after the few probes I had remaining there instead decided to get the Templar Archive. I had a Dark Archon sitting there and I casted Maelstrom (which I had researched for just such an occasion.)
While the mutas sat there I started moving Templar into the area and I casted Psionic Storm on them. I was also moving corsair in from my expansion base. The storm lasted until his mutalisk came out of maelstrom and they chased the templar that cast it into the cannons two dragoons and three corsair. Since they were already severly damaged by the storm they were unable to do much to me. They did manage to kill a Templar and Dragoon.
After this attack I progressed farther up the tech tree and began to warp an Arbiter in as well as two more Reavers, more Dark Templar, and more Corsair.
After these were doneI planned my own offensive against the expansion that he had. I started out by sending an Aribter, shuttle with a Dark Archon and two High Templar in it. I used the Templar to Storm his drones and hopefully cause a little rucus. After the first storm he sent four Mutalisk which met up with about six cloaked corsair. Then he tried again with a small group (3) of Devourer’s they too died to cloaked corsair. Seeing that his expansion was as good as dead he let me kill it rather then waste men trying to defend it. I finished it off by recalling a group (5) of Dark Templar into the base and letting them have fun.
After that I sent my shuttle, arbiter, and corsair back to my base to prepare for the final attack against his main base. The dark Templar killed the expansion base and they went home too. I tried a risky tactic and sent the shuttle that carried Templar and Dark Archon down to his main base. I also sent a shuttle with two reavers in it and an arbiter down. He caught my arbiter with a few mutalisk (5 of them to be exact) so I used Stasis Field to hope that it would hold them long enough for me to attack. I sent the shuttle with Templar in first. Unloading its contents the Dark Archon casted Maelstrom on a group of overlords packed in the corner of the map. The Templar then proceeded to storm the immobile overlords. After the first storm I cast it again and managed to kill a few overlords and at least mess with him for now. His mutalisk came out of Stasis feild shortly after and I was forced to cast it again I used this chance to get my men out.
After that I gathered all of my men capable of flight and loaded in shuttles and prepared to finish him off comepletly. I sent corsair in to get rid of anything in the air. They did the job to perfection. They ran into that group of mutalisk but by that time I had 12 corsair and the mutalisk stood no chance. I unloaded the reavers and they began to tear into the base. While doing so he took a gamble and launched an offensive consisting of guardians to my main base. He also sent a few Devourer's to attack my corsair that were protecting the reavers. I stopped this with storm and (4) corsair and he was left with nothing. He did kill all 3 cannons and templar and dragoons. Again I recalled Dark Templar (7 this time) into the main base and then the game was over since he was left with no overlords for detection and had no spore colonies and he also didn't have a spire anymore.

I hope that this one was a little more informative and again if you could tell me how to load the pictures and the HTML thing it would probably help any further reports that I may post. On the flipside if you don't think I did a good job then tell me so I don't waste my time anymore Thanks
