5* would read again. 1base 3port BC: new pro strat. The ULTIMATE strat. HOLY SHIT :o :o :o

Actually, I think I have the primus guide in a box somewhere, which is similarly hilarious. Always remember: a Zerg without Hydralisks is a Zerg that is losing.

Scouts are notorious for being avidly used in conjunction with Shield Batteries.

in that neither is used
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

First of all, thank you for an entertaining thread

But if you ignore the weird "strategy", that site is actually really nice. There are plenty of posters on TL that don't know the basics this site covers:
- Zerg stats
- Terran stats
- Protoss stats.

I've seen people copy and paste those strategies you mentioned as their own by the way, quite hilarious :p

OMIGOSH, I found something that is used today!

Zerglings with Dark Swarm/Consume
Use Dark Swarm over an enemy force or base and a group of Zerglings will be able to reign freely beneath the cloud. Produce masses of Zerglings to get the full benefit of the Dark Swarm and use multiple Dark Swarms to quickly cover an entire area. The Zerglings will be able to quickly move from target to target while remaining relatively protected from enemy fire. Also by keeping the Zerglings close at hand, Defilers can Consume them to rapidly recharge their energy stores so that they can continue to produce Dark Swarms for the Zergling attack force.


well...kinda, lings alone die pretty fast even under swarm...

Don't laugh SO hard, people tend to forget how difficult it was to hold off early ling and zealot pressure when your main has no ramp and a choke as wide as 2 CC's....those old blizz maps were a lol.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Lol, I had specifically waited for this blog to be gone before I released my second one because I didn't want to clog the blogs section with two things of mine at once. I guess its not a big deal. I tried.

I think the bunker rush page is the best.

The Bunker is completed and sits defenseless with no Marines in it, while the Marines walk the distance of the map to reach the Bunker. This gives the enemy ample time to detect the empty Bunker and destroy it.


If the enemy is building Bunkers in your town, they almost assuredly do not have any protecting their own town. A small group of 4-6+ Zerglings sent to the enemy town should totally destroy it.


Protoss and Terran players are also vulnerable to this strategy, to a lesser degree. Zerg players rely on Gas to build Hydralisks and advance up the Tech tree because Hydralisks in force are the best unit to destroy these Bunkers. Terrans, however can use Marines which require Minerals only. It is a lot harder for the enemy to build groups of Bunkers around the Minerals to cover them all, without you noticing them. The same is the case with the Protoss which need only Zealots which require Minerals only also.

This picture would be so much funnier if the bunker was filled with firebats.

I just realized something in the picture of the bunker surrounded by shit. Is that a Physics Lab on the far left? Could this be one base, 3 Port Battlecruiser? Only see 2 ports in the shot but it looks like there might be another one on the minimap. But sadly, that looks like a second base at the top left

But is 11 a base or barrack(s) he flew there so marines can secure that area??

The guy who wrote this guide, Geoff Fraizer (aka Shlonglor/Nebu) was a top Warcraft 2 player before Starcraft came out. He had a pretty legendary War2 strategy page which actually landed him the job he still holds at Blizzard; a lot of the strategies he developed for War2 have become bread and butter for most RTS games. Back in the day he was an incredible writer and tactician, it's great to see his stuff still out there getting views 10 years on.

Also remember is a lot of this was written before Broodwar came out, so a lot of these strats were pretty decent if you weren't facing lurkers/corsairs/valks etc
