I have read these BR´s long now, and Finally decided to make one of my own, so this is my training example, just to test how this "report submit thing" works...
I guess there will be better ones later when I have figured out how these things work...
Below is an img of the map, if it gets there...
Map FADING REALM (luv it)
Players:
ApocalypseBrood ZERG UPPER LEFT RANDOM
Lasse_Kongo PROTOSS LOWER RIGHT RANDOM
Greetings.
I am Hydrasil.
What I am and why, you can read here:
Hydrasil
When we landed on the planet of Shakuras, I sent my drones to work on a mineral patch nearby and I made my hatchery spawn some new ones. Since I had no idea about what my enemy was doing, I went for a 8 overlord and 10 spawnpool.
I had no clue of whom I was facing, but my hunch said it to be the Famous protoss Judicator: Lasse_Kongo.
Strange name, but the Protoss are a strange race...)
As I slithered around the area, a small insect came at me and buzzed about how happy it was that we had come. Apparently they had come there with the terrans during the Kerrigan wars and now when all there was left was the impenetrateble shields of the Protoss. The insect landed on my upper torso and tried to penetrate my hard carapece with his small teeth. I sent him quickly to the Overmind in the sky, to roam forever in the Heavenly Hive.
Anyway, I sent my trusty overlord Owen to scout, and he/she/it found the Protoss base from above. He did not want to reveal himself to the Judicator because I did not want to let him know who his enemy were, and so I had the advantage.
The few things Owen saw was a few Zealots and I directly changed my build order to a lurker rush.
After some time, without visits. I started to wonder where he was and what he´s cooking?
(Do Toss cook their food? do they eat?)
(or do they just feed on Honor?)
I wanted to find out, so I sent 3 lurkers and 5-6 Hydras to keep him contained at his ramp. But what they were to discover was that he had built a forge and some cannons up at the ramp and a few hydras lost their life being bombarded from above.
Damn, now I cant keep him caged up as a lab-rat!
But then my trusty Overlord Owen advised me.
RAAARRGGHH TIRSJKKAAAH!
(zergish for: Drop that bastard!)
And so I did.
I sent 4 Overlords all named vinnie to the back of his base loaded with 4 Lurkers and the rest in Hydras.
The drop was a success. I managed to kill all his drones and a few zeals + his extractor, but his nexus stood due to the arrival of 2 giant LARVAE!!! (it was reavers)
This should have warned me of a drop but I had recently discovered that he had another exp at the middle left, and I was busy expanding myself so I forgot about them.
I noticed I had 3500+minerals and 3-400 gas so I thought..
ADRENALINGS!
And rejoice!
His 2 expansions was guarded with a buncha´ goons and a few cannons.. HEHEEEE!
My 5 groups of lings and a hydra group finished them off easily.
It was then that I recieved a warning from my trusty Owen, howering over my expansion.
UUURRRGGHH! RAWWRLWW LARRVEA!!!
(Zergish for: Ohhno! Flying reavers!)
Thats´s right. My upper right exp got hit with 2 giant LARVAE from behind my mineral patches.
I had some Hydras there and a sunken, but they only took care of one, luckily my newly hatched Mutas flew over and saved the day.
During that i sent the remnants of my army to test his defences and I attacked from up the ramp and from behind.
But he had lots of Zeals there with 3HT and 3DA.
The DA´s "persuaded" one of my HT-sniping queens and every one died...
But now he was contained.
I quickly sent down my new forces to camp outside his base and there I burrowed some lurkers and kept him from escaping.
I now switched over to air and soon a large army of Guardians and Mutas with queen support flew outside his base.
I tested his defenses some, but he had good micro and his spellcasters did their job.
I killed his ramp defence with a hit and run tactic involving queens and guardians.
When all outer defenses were down, I just sent in everything I had in a mass.
Zergligs and Hydras took the damage and then the Mutas and Guardians took down any cannon still standing.
My losses were minimal, though I lost a few zerglings when they searched Lasse_Kongos chambers inside his Nexus.
Apparently they found some bottles with the inscription "Absolut Vodka" on. And not even the all-eating zerglings can drink such an live on..
LESSONS LEARNED:
-If he had mutated his giant larvae he could have spawned ENOURMOUS Zerglings and such.
-I talked to him afterwards and he said he could not decide what to build when, so he just built it all, while I for example built zerglings when he had much goons and mutas when he had much Zealots. Also he had no idea where I was and found the expansion by luck, he did not know the map. Thats when recon is SUPER important!!
-That Swedish Vodka rulez!! All ye malt liquor and beer drinkers you can go to Castle Anthrax!!
-If you are Zerg, be nice to your fellow bug, cuz´ I got a huge headache after I killed the poor creep. It must have been the big giant Overlord in the sky who punished me!!
-The Zerg language is hard to comprehend... almost as had as the french standing on a wall...
-By the way, if you meet a frenchman standing on a wall...
watch out for a flying cows...
-By the way again.. Mutas look alot like flying cows..
Greets.
