Whoa! I didn't see that one coming. Lord Byron was down to 3 supply and then he went on to nuke you two times terran imba! LOL! Must have been a hell of a laugh you guys had after the game. Reminds me of a good game of DotA with my classmates back in high school.

Anyway, thanks for sharing this wonderful game!!!

I've definitely played late game where I got over-run, but still had Defilers buried and hiding. A few well timed plagues on BC's or Carriers does wonders. But none of mine survived the attack into LordBryon's base. And it's so much gas to get back to when you are also trying to make air to tackle the Terran and Protoss fleets. Half the time, I'm lucky just to get back up to mutalisks before they find and destroy my Lair. (I skipped several Lair kills on the east side.

Probably mostly my fault on how I teach the game these days. I don't teach all the units as I've over-whelmed people in the past. I teach how to macro with hotkeys, how to make more production facilities rather than queuing, the importance of expo's, how to mass a basic army that beginners can handle, how to move said army with hotkeys, going/defending air, and then after I teach about detection. (And yes, I had already talked about detection and cloaked units prior to this game.)

Then I say there are a lot of fancy and fun units, if you want to experiment or learn more, try it out or ask me. I'm encouraging Jdog to get Arbiters because of cloak, stasis and recall are soooo powerful late game.

While we are on the subject, there were also no Reavers or Corsairs that I could see.

No. But when I main Protoss, I bring the thunder with shuttle-reaver. (As much as my lousy reaver micro can anyways.) I have also been encouraging reavers defensively or to put in shuttles, but right now they aren't trying too much drop play. LordBryon's starting to use vultures, but I bet eScapegoat could incorporate raiding vultures as well.

DJB made two reavers. He's played the game a long time and likes special forces groups, so of all the players he would probably make Dark Archons. Actually in 2007-8, I was the guy that would make 4-5 Dark Archons when we only played against comps on shared base, big money maps. We'd turtle too much and the comps would take over the entire map. So behind turret walls with BC and Carrier fleets, I'd just try and steal all the enemy capital ships. Fun times though not very effective.

Corsairs at low levels have suicidal tendencies. They always take off and sit on top of some turret and die before you realize they are gone.

Reaver/Shuttle is so powerfull against lower player so you did good to pick Zerg Maybe next time you'll see DA. I loved when players would steal a drone and sart to build a two part army Especially in FFA where you can get away with it if you're lucky :p

I love it when one makes a whole build around getting two armies that makes use of some of the least popular units and then proceeds to name it after a portable or fixed apparatus that furnishes heat for warmth, cooking, etc., commonly using coal, oil, gas, wood, or electricity as a source of power that then proceeds to destroy the opponent.

You mean something like build scouts and harass mineral lines to confuse your oponents as an opening ?

The problem with the kind of build you talk about is that you have to do dishes after this :p Also. Burns are a danger with
this.

Ah, the basement. Cold as winter in Norway. Smelly like a high school boys locker room. And also the scene of some of the most badass, epic, mind blowing battles in BW. I was the Passafist of my group, and my best friend was barely below me. We knew each other so well, and were the obvious captains of our team. Even in FFA games, we always seeked to eliminate each other first. And which ever remained of one of us, the eliminated person coached someone else to win. Damn, I need to convert my garage into a gaming pad NOW. Time to whip out BW and Smash Bros. 6 bags of doritos and some beer/soda (most of us are over 21 now yay) should cap off the epicness.
Much better to die an awesome Terran than to live as a magic wielding fairy or a mindless sac of biological goop. -Manifesto7
