I'm not arguing what you have written. I'm saying countering mid is not possible.

With no matchmaking system, grab a friend, build mid, collect wins no matter how bad your partners play.

Anyway, sorry for derailing your blog. The post explains and introduces a fun game.

^^Disregard post above! <3 Torte!

Ghin I think you should include a little about when it's appropriate to nuke. So many of the newer players would rather waste a nuke right away than spend the minerals on a cannon or two. Even upgrading a few chalupas is more beneficial than nuking in the majority of circumstances.

I think the problem is that although you guys think you are taking about the same thing, you are actually not talking about the same thing. "Mid" is such a general term for different situations. Before you Say "mid". There are a few condition you have to specify.

How many players are building mid? 1? 2? 3? 4?

When did they start buliding mid? At the start? At the middle of the game? Very late into the game?

How committed are they at buliding mid? Are they going to only build a few low tier units like 4 roaches or are they going to build all they way into high tier units like carriers or thors.

When I left it up unfinished I was hoping that some information would be better than none, but I see that isn't the case. To avoid any further confusion, I'll edit out that section until it's finished.

Thanks for using your first post to comment in my blog!

It's fun, but damn, you need people to play it with... so annoying when you get into a team full of newbs. If anyone here plays on EU, PM me so we can destroy people.

great advice! hopefully there'll be fewer noobs out there after they read this


edit: oh, i haven't played for a while... has that new 40 minute thing been changed? games tended to last forever ever since they took away the 300% dmg

The problem with Nexus Wars is that it ALWAYS lags at the end, no matter how good your computer. It's REALLY annoying cuz in principle it's an awesome game

Sounds interesting. A lot like the games I played in WC3. Maybe I should try it, after dealing with retards in DotA for what, 4 years now, I am ripping my hair out all the time, this, sounds relaxing...

Also, eating a sandwich while playing. Best argument ever.! :D
A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.
