Now, onto THE GAME!
Pre-Game
I slowly open my eyes, and realize my Nexus has warped in without complications to the upper right island. I go with 7 Pylon, 8 Gate, 10 Assilator, 11 Pylon, 13 Cyber Core then Robo Facility for quick reavers. I ask my Ally what his strat is, he says quick carriers. I decide we make a good combo, reavers and carriers :)
Anyhoo, I start a shuttle, while getting my Support Bay, then quickly a reaver, start the scarabs, and load him up while the scarabs build. I also start the Scarab damage upgrade.
I've got a Forge also, and warp in a few minor cannons, and 2 Dragoons, which patrol around the edge of my island for dropping shuttles. I start a Observatory while I pick my target for the drop. Purple. I move my Shuttle up along the very top edge of the map, and pass a pylon that just warped in, and sit around in the back edge of his base.
I drop the Reaver, order it to attack a neaby cannon, and after 2 shots, it takes out a few (4) probes. Fire again, more probes. 2 Zealots run over, hits one before they start doing damage, but he takes them out also. No he doesn't speak Korean, it's Chinese :) He yells at me as his armor starts taking damage and the shuttle picks him up.
Back home another reaver has popped out, and I order up 4 Observers and the Speed upgrade, knowing Expansions are the key in this game.
Mid-Game
My ally has 4-5 Carriers by now, and I'm getting some Templar for Dragoon rushes if I get dropped on, and get all 3 Upgrades for them.
Communication is the key in game when it's not 1 on 1! I learn quickly, Master Blank! :) hehe.
We decide we need to expand, and I move first, dropping off a probe at the center-right island (the big one) and start a Nexus, Pylon and Pylon. I've got excess money, so I throw up about 8 cannons around the base for protection, and my ally is warping in his Nexus and Cannon, but takes the Assimilator before I can "I need it more than you" Me: I guess so, with Carriers and all, I get the next one though."
Oh well, so I only get minerals. I can deal with it.
I do the "Maynard" maneuver (who thought up the name? some guy named Maynard?) and move another 7 probes from my main, and order them to start gathering. I order up some more at home.
I've got Observers at each island, watching for any expansion attempts. Blue tries first, at the small island to the northwest of his base, and I quickly ask my ally to quickly eliminate that threat. He does so, and takes out the Arbiter hovering over 2 Carriers, a Scout and the shuttle before they retreat. I tried to get him to attack the Carriers, because we could SEE them anyways thanks to my observer, but that was ok. I'm starting to get low on Gas, so I suggest we Expand again.
I take the island that blue tried to expand to earlier, and he leaves some Carriers to protect me until I get cannons up. Meanwhile my Observer at the western-most island (in between our enemies mains) notices some Blue Carriers headed into Purple's base. I try to follow, but see cannons, and am content to sit and watch for any expansion attempts.
A different observer of mine notices some purple shuttles headed towards my lightly defended base. I gulp and ask for assistance, and I also realize the dumb mistake of not having produced alot of units, instead relying on cannons at expansions and a few dragoons at home.
The carriers defending my expansion move north to help out as Blue's Carriers arrive on the horizon. 3-4 shuttles worth of Purple's Dragoons and a few Zealots plop off out of Cannon range. I have 5 defending Dragoons, 2 Cannons on that side of that base, and 3 High Temps with Psi Storms.
He rushes, I triple Psi-Storm, and wipe out a large amount of the Dragoons, leaving 3 and a Zealot up against my 4 Remaining Dragoons and 2 cannons. When the dust clears, I've got 2 Goons and 2 Cannons left. The Carriers move to the north of my base, where only one cannon resides, and begin attacking. The psi-storms come rumbling in, and are centered on his grouped up Carriers, doing massive damage to shields and armor. They take out my Stargate that I warped in because I felt like it, and head towards the next warping Cannon. My allies Carriers appear over the horizon, and all of a sudden Blue drops out of the game.
I am puzzled, but we continue on.
In 5 or so minutes, Purple simply states: I cannot win this one, you guys gonna let me ally, or ...
KitNorja : Kill
KitNorja: Hehehe, I'm an evil bastard :)
So we start towards his base, but he disconnects.
Good game to all, thanks for playing.
Now, onto the cheesy pics... only 2 :(
This is what my based looked like from the get go, only at the end there were a few more cannons next to and around the cyber core. He attacked this area from the west.
My second Expansion, watching as he disconnects...
...also, the pics are always broken on my BR's because it puts an after each name of the pic (ex: screen06.jpg") so the pics break. And it puts a next to each apostrophe... why? Can someone fix these for me? Thanks. |
