yesterday i lost a 2v2v2v2 game
after tons of time
me and my partner vs another couple still left
we lost coz they used mind control to have another race and was with a 600 suply vs our 400
we tried everything, every spell etc but damn
he was so smart kakakak
in some way, bgh players think different...
I lost a BGH FFA once because one of the players was protoss, turtled up, massed carriers, mind controlled a drone and then proceeded to mass hydras out of 12 hatcheries
200 supply vs 400 supply = impossible
but the mind control nuance aside, for 3v3 money maps are the shizzle
3v3 FASTEST is the funniest thing on earth... kill someone's nexus and it's GG
and there's also the funny trick where you float an engineering bay over their mineral patch so they can't right click to gather and send workers to mine...
and omg storm/reaver drops on fastest are the funniest thing on earth, those noobs shit themselves with frustration... I have so many screenshots of people complaining that i cheated because my one templar killed 50 probes
GG!!!
I think money maps are fun but for 1v1 or 2v2 I much prefer limited resources for the greater strategic involvement. In 3v3 this is kind of lost anyway since its usually the team who attacks first wins in a quick mop-up of the other team.
By the way playing fastest map ever is COMPLETELY different than playing limited resource maps, the builds and timing etc, it definitely takes a bit of time to get used to (but nothing any decent limited resource player can't do in two games)

I was playing some BGH the other day. Instead of MC:ing a peon to get another 200 supply, I wanted player A to make only DA and player B to make constant carrier/BC with player A MC:ing player B:s units as they came out to get unlimited supply (exept that limit on total units/buildings). Every single guy I tried this with got mad at me for "stealing their units". This is proof enough for me that BGH:ers are stupid.

everyone has its favorite,and everyone has its slant.

money maps are a different rts
an inferior one to starcraft

takes some skill..most of the pussies who say it is for newbies, are newbs themselves that can't keep up with a decent bgher's macro, and get owned because of it

I prefer "regular" maps. But I used to BGH a lot. I also spent like a full year playing "Fastest Possible Map" only. Playing that map is like playing a different game entirely; most strategies on "regular" maps are not viable here, and vice versa. It's almost pure macro. The difference between FPM and BGH: players who only use "regular maps" would never beat me or any other decent money-mapper on FPM.
But I really hate FPM because it is grossly unbalanced, and the people who play FPM excusively tend to have bad sportsmanship.

I play bgh on a semi-regular basis. I don't pretend its a competitive map. But I play it with my Real Life friends that don't take starcraft as seriously, and its fun. To be truthful, I never would have been able to counter carriers well if I didn't play a little bgh.

Watered down macro.
What? We have all agreed that BGH is a mucho money map right? So how is it logical that macro is easier with more money, please?
|
lol pseudo
just because warcarft 3 is more micro focused doesn't mean its harder to micro
|
lol radial
so it's not harder to macro 8 gates instead of 2? dumbass
|
are you saying that macro is more complex on BGH than on normal maps?

I think it kind of is, you're getting more minerals and such and there is pretty limited space to build unit producing buildings and since you never run out of minerals or gas, the cash keeps coming and building.

this thread is hailarious.

what you said doesn't help your point at all
|
Sorry, it made sense to me. What I was trying to say is that in BGH the minerals and gas never run out so the resources will keep increasing therefore making macro harder than on a normal map which has limited resources.
|
Well I personally platy bgh everytime I've been away from bw for a long time, I use it to try and get my macro back, trying to keep minerals <500 on bgh 15-20 min into the game is pretty hard =/.
But BGH gamers are smart also, I played a 2v2 BGH, we scouted and saw they were just going heavy defense, scanned protoss he was just massing sairs, thought it was just to stop my wraiths cause I was going straight wraiths to support mass reaver drops, scanned terran just making factories. So we were like well, lets just fuck around they don't look too good. Couple of min later they come out with mass tanks and sairs for support, totally unprepared for it mass webbed everything while terran tanks pushing forward. You really can't stop that =/. Specially since we fucked around partner had mass reavers they were rendered useless since he coulnd't drop due to sairs and coulnd't move because of sieged tanks and web.
But they can't macro for shit so that will always be there downfall.

not hard to comprehend..more money, more production..the more money you have to spend while microing, the harder it is to spend

pro gamer league should pick bgh as official map
I want to see pro gamers' bgh skills ^^
Didn't the pros do a money map for fun game at some point? Like a terran player, I think it was Elky, tried to repeatedly nuke everyone. Not sure when though...
|
But if you micro less, then would it be easier to macro? Then again, it's hard to get out of the habit of microing, hehe
