Starcraft

Hrmm, I kept up with the two other Zerg players on the board, except that I started producing troops before they did, and they both opted to build another hatchery instead of making troops.

Interesting.
 
There isn't a replay for this one. As far as I can tell, Starcraft can't record Team Game replays.

Team FFA on Theatre of War. I chose a Terran Zerg Toss combo (sounds like a title of a bad game!), I set teh Comp to double random (would up being Terran), and Sam played Zerg Random Random (wound up being Zerg Zerg Toss). Some random guy ("XD") joined our game right before the game started; ended up on Sam's team. Game started and he lagged and left.

Having supply for two extra SCV's (thanks to my probe and drone) kinda threw my initial build off a bit, but I got my choke lined up with bunkers as soon as I could and staffed with marines and firebats. Got rushed by the comp, and the damn SCV wouldn't repair the bunker as it got attacked. The AI made it difficult for me to expand into the next resource drop, which threatened to become an issue, because I was already starting to run low on minerals. I finally got some tanks out, slapped down a bunker and started my zerg build. They started coming at me cloaked wraiths, so I had to slap up a turret and sac a couple marines to get it off. Once my zerg was a done deal, I was able to defend the drop against the ai's non-sieging tanks (thank goodness) and ghosts. Sam was getting nuked by the AI, and I began to aggressively expand my creep, preparing against air attacks. Before things could get going, I got nuked, lost a tank and some creep. I started my Toss build in a fresh resource drop, built 48 zerglings and rushed the AI's main base. Sam was busy attacking it's first major expansion; when the dust settled, it was down to me and her.

At this point, my offense was pathetic; I sent the remains of my zergline horde to her base to pick up some of her troops. They said no, we don't do one night stands, so they killed each other (zerglings vs. zealots and hydras = pwnt zerglings, though they got one or two zealots). Meanwhile, I resumed my creep expansion, only to lose it to Sam's waves of troops. She favoured that particular route, so I went overboard and completely covered it with photon cannons, dropped in a couple lurkers, and watched her troops get pwned every time. Meanwhile, I built nukes and picked off squadrons of zerglings with well placed launches. I floated a command center to the map's perimeter (unconnected to the rest of the map), and started three more bases to cover my lack of remaining vespene and minerals. Sam finally found an alternate route of attack, exploiting a mineral patch I was harvesting. A pack of zerglings and the sunkens and tanks backing the patch put an end to that. I kept up my nuke harassment campaign, much to her ire, picking off spore and sunken colonies, opening the way for attack. I sent in 24 hydras, 12 zealots and 12 marines and cleaned house; tanks attacked her Protoss base. In the end, she was down to one lowly pylon. I built six nukes, six ghosts, cloaked them...
 
I got bored and gave up :D

And I didn't have any easily accessible resources, so I was just cranking out zerglings until I ran out.

It was a lot of fun, though :D Had I planned my first rush of Bick's base a little better (i.e. had all of my troops there instead of spread out everywhere) it might have been a little better, but who knows?
 
If that first rush of zerglings was only a small portion of your forces (which I can believe, considering how many squads I nuked), I probably would have been fucked if you did a massive surge. There's no question I would have survived, but the game would have taken a completely different direction.
 
Chyeah, I was nearly at max forces when I rushed you :D

But I only rushed with 1/3 at most of them.

That's my problem, I'm too unorganized :P
 
Well, I just logged onto Garena and was in the process of sending you a message when you signed off.
 
I'll re-load my gamedisks tomorrow and crack my knuckles practicing. I'll play a game when I'm warmed-up in a few days. Anyone wanna play?
 
Sure :)

I haven't played in a while, but I'm up for it. Just let me know a time, and I can most likely be there.
