Resources they say are important to a race's future. Our Protoss race plans constant expeditions to foreign lands in the hopes of finding more mineral and vespene gas fields to ensure our races' survival. In the latest expedition, we stumbled onto the land of Circuit Breaker. A vast unexplored land with resources as far as the eye can see. It was here that I took command of our protoss brethren and where our story begins:

After landing on Circuit Breaker, I decided to establish a fast forward base, usually known as Forge FE. The aim was to gather resources as fast and efficiently as possible in the event that unforeseen circumstances require us to withdraw from this land. I ordered a probe scout to check out the land and inform us of any nearby hazards. At this point, I had yet to realize what was in store for us.

After scouting around, the probe ended up finding out that the Zerg have also landed on Circuit Breaker. While the reason was unknown, it is likely that they were also searching for resources as well. War was coming, I was certain of that. My psi blades started screeching in anticipation:

[image loading]

Seeing an opportunity to cause some havok, our valiant probe scout decided to use it's god given talent of being a pest to prevent the Zerg from laying down an expansion and even went as far as playing what looks like some version of beat the photon cannons with them:

[image loading]
last image of our hero

After more time passed, I planned to send out another scout however right before it's departure, a strange message was transmitted to us. It seemed that the Zerg was trying to communicate with us. This has never been documented in our past history. Through some decipering, it seemed to be asking if we were ok. This greatly confused us. Was our zerg enemy trying to make fun of us? Were they using advanced psychological tricks to defeat our morale? We could not tell though we attempted to communicate with them only to indirectly inform them that we, the protoss are not scared of them. That we welcome their attacks!
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]

At this point, we could not lose. We had laid our pride on the line and would fight to the bitter end if needed. Our strategy was simple. Keep their base count low and overwhelm them with our strength. I sent out the first attack force consisting of about 8 +1 speed zealots. An engagement took place at their expansion. Suffice to say, they were no match for us and we were able to sack their expansion and third pretty quickly (several minutes in between):

Fear the might of the Protoss!

Despite this major win, the Zerg was quite resilient and managed to re-establish their expansion using hydras, lurkers and sunkens for defense. Seeing this an opportunity to get further ahead, the decision was made to establish our own third and avoid any direct confrontations at the current time. I ordered corsairs to constantly scout around and provide intel on any new bases from the Zerg:
[image loading]

With more time passing and the army itching for another battle, an opportunity presented itself after our corsairs reported that the Zerg's expansion had very little defense. It seemed that most was being kept in the base. This seems perplexing at first but through some discussions, it was reasoned that the zerg must want to protect their overlords as well as prepare for drops. With that in mind, I gave the order to strike the expansion:

[image loading]
Everything was laid to waste!

Alas, it was a hasty decision seeing as the Zerg's strategy revolved around dropping hydras on our third. This was costly to us as we lost our third and with it, many of our army. Time was not on our side:

[image loading]
[image loading]
So much destruction!

After destroying our third and reducing our resource income, the Zerg army marched to our expansion in the hopes of breaking through. A lot of courageous souls fell that day however our expansion stood testimony to our unshaken resolve:

[image loading]
We shall not fall!

Seeing as the Zerg used most of their army to try and break us, this was the perfect time to strike back. I ordered the army to attack an expansion which was hidden in the bottom right on Circuit Breaker. It was subsequently destroyed within the next minute or two. Our army continued it's march towards the Zerg's third laying waste to everything in its path. The march was eventually halted at the Zerg's expansion but not before major irrecoverable damage was inflicted. The message was clear. We the Protoss are here to stay!

[image loading]
JANGBI STORMSSSSSSSSS

As destruction was raining down on the Zerg, another message was received. One that seemed to indicate that the Zerg was in deep pain. Parts of the message were deciphered but alas, it was decided that enemies of the Protoss race must be left to wallow in their anger:

With no other expansions for the Zerg, it was forced to retreat hastily from the battlefield. The battle was won with many casualties on both sides. If there are any comments or concerns about this battle, please feel free to write them below. They will most certainly be useful in my next engagement against this powerful foe!

Lol I like this style of Battle Report, sounds like the testimony of someone who fought and lived to tell the tale :p.

Man, I didn't know 8 cannons = 10k in minerals these days :o, prices have really gone up since the last time I played lol. Inflation I guess. People accusing you of hacking are still around though, fun to see some things never change. Doesn't ICCUP have some sort of anti-hack thing? doesn't make sense to get accused of hacking if that's the case.

When did you lose your Zealots from the first attack? couldn't move to his main with the remaining units or you tried and they died? I bet if you had killed him with those zealots you still would have hacked somehow lol. You should make a compilation thread with screenshots of all the assholes who blame you of hacking , that should be fun. Also I'm quite disappointed I didn't get a special shout out in this blog post , I really thought we were good friends BigFan D:.

Good job on the game and all those gifs phew, I would be far too lazy to make so many of them.

yep, that was the idea. Glad to know that it came across that way as well

Cannons are mad expensive these days which is why you gotta bank so that you can lay down a gazillion of them at once. Learn from the master of cannoning lol. yes, there's an antihack that automatically launches with the iccup launcher. Surprisingly, I haven't gotten much BM on iccup lol.

What happened was that after I took down his expansion, I prevented him starting it again. He had 2 lurkers so I had to keep my zealots on the move and eventually got one of the lurkers by moving back and forth, got a cancel and lost all of the zealots but it was worth it :D haha I'm not that good It's too bad it would be short. People on iccup aren't generally bm. A shoutout in a battlereport blog? Maybe I will give you a shoutout once I get one in your blog

ya, it took quite a while to get those gifs done since I had to play with their resolution, quality etc... to get them to a reasonable size. I was experimenting and trying to decide if this method of battlereport is viable but doesn't seem like there's enough interest so guess not lol.

ya, weird guy. Why spend that much money on sunkens if I'm just going to goon bust you Seems the price of sunkens has also increased in recent years on par with increases in photon cannon prices. No, this is ... CITY OF THE DEAD!

Still no HTs out by 11 minutes (in your 2nd attack)? Riduclos! Funny how he threathened to report but it was YOU who ended up "reporting" him too

Well looks like he hardly had any units, next time do a BR with a better opponent

psff I go for a +1 heavy speed zealot style and usually win with that so no need for storms by 11 minutes Besides, I wanted to go easy on him so I had to tech late haha dat pun XD

That's because most of his units were getting dropped at my third to take it out lol. Other than that, early on, he mostly had zerglings but my +1 zealots cut them down to size
