(Shouldn't this be in the Other Games forum?)

Assuming we are discussing the first Starcraft, humans. They don't need to climb the tech tree to get anti-air capabilities. So while your opponents build buildings and spend resources on tech, you spam barracks + marines, and win. It should be noted, if it isn't already obvious, that I am horrible at RTS.

That said, the Protoss are certainly the most awesome.

[feannigvogten]

I pretty much just random.

[wizardasa]

Zkrib, the nice thing about Starcraft is the speed control. I can slow it way down and feel like a youngster again. But it is RTS... I hate RTS because of the speed aspect but Starcraft is different.

They have combo packs out now that include the follow on, Brood War. I just have the original here.

[ProomoSam]

Zerg.

1. Zergling Rush
2. Mutalisk/Devourer/Queen aerial assault

End of story

[provigil]

Queen isn't a high use unit, you just use it when the opponent has an **** annoying, high hp/shields unit you need ... taken care of. Most of the work is mutas/devourers. They can clean out a base in about 15 seconds.

If I set the game speed to the slowest setting it give me time to do all the stuff I need to do the most important of which are getting my very experienced synapses to fire.

[echocassidyde]

I used to play Zerg back in college. Muta rush = surprise raep!

[jstizzle]

Playing the Terrans now. The battle cruisers are just too spendy.

[timgillmoreeztf]

Zerg player Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack in the college days (2000). My favorite matchup was ZvT.

I dont play now but I've been keeping up with the SC scene from time to time on youtube. its interesting to see how competition evolves from time to time. I remember when ZvP was considered a free win~

Queens and mutalisks suck. 360 zerglings for the win!
Youtube julyzerg and his vids of muta micros. Those muta bombs are WICKED.

Besides, if theres one unit to be singled out in Zerg faction that's to be hated.... Its undisputably the Defiler.

[massons]

mutas take dmg like a ***** which is why u need to micro them well.

JM Defilers? The unit with no basic attacks, only "spells" ? I've spent the whole thread whining like a bratty, spoiled child that "I can't do it! " in reference to unit abilities. What the heck makes you think I can effectively use defilers?




You can still play this online for free, right? I vote for poly game this weekend.

You can still play this online for free, right? I vote for poly game this weekend. 1. Group defiler w/ few lings.
2. burrow
3. Pop out when distracted and DS/plague
4. Consume lings
5. Repeat 2-4
6. ???
7. Profit.

There's a patch for the original. I shall have to download it then. Any major changes that you know right of hand from the patch?

[standaman]

(pssssssssssssssst broodwar doesn't require a cdkey)

[BrandandGeneric]

How do you handle Archons as a Zerg player? Assuming they're well inland and thus Guardian-proof, do you need massive numerical superiority just to wear them down?

[draigenia]

A bunch of upgraded Zerglings do the trick too IIRC. Just make sure you attack from two sides at once, so you get an immediate surround, and minimize your losses.
