(part 1 out of 4) TLO's pretty well known for using nukes in his games. | ||

Also david kim used them in show matches but those were showmatches so they're not meant to be taken seriously | ||

Unfortunately I can't find the video where this was demonstrated, though I can say from experience that I've completely wiped out entire mineral lines with the Nexus corner trick. EDIT: FOUND IT!! | ||

Also, if you place a nuke near the top of the mineral, then the mineral's color will blur over the dot (don't know if this still works after the last change to the mineral's appearance). And then, it's near invisible if creep is around those minerals as well.

EDIT: FOUND IT!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbC5fOQbKqM For all you protoss and zergs who want to prevent this, I BELIEVE pressing the insert and delete keys pans your view to each side. So when you are looking for your dot, pan to each side as you look around, increasing your chances of seeing the dot. If you see a red dot for a split second, you'll notice it, but a blob of purple you'll probably miss regardless of how long. | ||

1) move army 2) check bases for dot 3) if i cant find dot quickly move probes 4) ouch 5) back to mining nukes can be good for taking out clustered buildings (need 2), breaking a seige line, delaying mining (see tlo v nazgul), good fun when you have already won or in games that dont matter, or just being a total baller | ||

As far as usage goes, as TLO demonstrates, they're very good for denying your opponent entry to an area, and also have a lot of strength when your opponent's army is in a position it can't escape from easily. | ||

Using space no longer works. | ||

Could be fun to play with. Of course this is worthless if it preents you from reinforcing your army (over production facilities). | ||
