Darkness:  :smile: yeah

but if base is protected ... by lurkers or stuff - reavers wont live long.

What i really like is 12 siege tanks, and some valkyries over it ... total destruction.

Anyhow starcraft(broodwar) is great ! there are soo many possibilities ... so many good tactics available... Im playing the broodwar singleplayer over again. :grin:

Actually, I've found that, even in Broodwars, a fleet of 16 Protoss Carriers with about 3-4 detectors are near invincible unless they are constantly attacked. But to be double sure, I always try and have 32. Safety in numbers, I say.

And if you want total confusion, add two Arbiters (Those ship cloaking vessles) make it complete. I've rarely lost with my fleet like that. (I think I was overpowered once. I was attacked by 3 people at once, and I barely survived.)

Ok, I got the images Joey, sorry it took so long to get them up.

Unquoted:
Tidus and Yuna
Butt-face

Quoted:
Tidus and Yuna kissing
Tidus
Description shot
Butt-face

If you asked me, they just look like shots from FFX movie sequences. What is it Joey? Has someone just recorded themself playing through the whole of FFX onto VCD or something?

Yes. And you should see Tidus when he is in the palace of ordeals. You get 2 see the options.  :grin: If you want them(the VCDs), I can try to send it to you, but you have to wait until the CDRW that I ordered arrive.

nah . . .

Carriers aren't good unless you know how to use them.  They take to long to build, I could have 3 times as many scouts as carriers in the same amount of time.

(and 16 Scouts will own 16 carriers.  Easily.)

Reav drops are great.  (especially if  your opponent doesn't have any fast air units.  You can really mess his base up. :grin:)

As far as tanks go . . . that's my favorite terran strategy.  (although I'm not very good with terran.  I try to mimic my one buddy who owns with tanks when he uses them, but it just hasn't worked.)

Joey:  Hyrdra is short for hydralisk.  It's a commonly accepted term.

Sephiroth3D: then, to use some tactic stuff. Plague to your carriers. EMP shockwave to empty your shields. Acid spores from devourers. Ensnare. Maybe some nukes.
I like zerg becouse there are soo prety tactic. Ensnare with plague is great.

I only use resource cheats during the single player games. I use invinciblity if I'm getting mad-rushed by 50 marines and all I have is 2 Zealots & a Dragoon.

Oh, Tactics? You want Tactics? Try a fleet of 32 cloaked Carriers and 64 Illusion Carriers! You waist your energy with my clones, and then my real fleet carefully takes your threats out, then Boom! Your whole army &/or base is under attack! (Especially your SCVs/Drones/Probes!)

Have a Nice Day :grin:

Seph: by that time anything could happen to your base ( ... nuclear launch detected ... )

We all should test our skills in sc someday.

True, but that's what detectors, Dragoons, & Reavers are for.

If you were making Carriers, you wouldn' t have enough units to overcome the fury of Mirex's swarm, Seph.

What you should do is (if you're playing Temple) put 1 zealot and 1 probe ON the ramp, and then surround the top of the ramp with dragoons.  Get increased goon range, that way the dragoons will attack his units, and they will just run around mindlessly trying to get the dragoons.

Scout often, if he's going Muta/ling, go Archons.  If he's going hydras, go Fast z / goon range, etc.

Ah - Reminds me of the good-ol'-days...  Post one thread, and end up with something completely different....  Love it!

Never heard about FFX the movie!  Is it possible to get it if you live in the UK?  :???:  If so, where please?

Who though that The Spirits Within wasn't all it was cracked up to be?  Don't get me wrong - I like it, but the hype was too much!

Anyway - Have those screen-grabs been posted anywhere?  I'd like to have a look at them.

Basicly, it's not a "movie" per se... It's a collection of the movies from FFX.

Aha - Cheers.  I'll just wait until the game comes out then.  

That quote of yours - It's probably one of the best lines in the film!

Yeah. I really like it. I think it's almost a motto for the people of this era, what with all the terrorism, bombing & anthrax stuff going around. Not understanding, but not having to understand...

It works on a lot of levels...

If you're Zerg, Hydras.
If you're Protoss, Carriers.
If you're Terran, Battlecruisers.

If you get enough fast enough... you win :razz:
