well if they improved the leg enhancements a bit they should be able to jump really high and slap the carrier.

Yeah, after a few hours of thinking I've realized that the carrier user can hide pylons and still ravage the zealot player's base but zealots have the "morph into observer" upgrade so just me theorycrafting again
too easy

If u attack carrier from behind with zealot u have some chance that u will hit its engines and cause carrier to fall down on the ground - but careful it will crush all units under it when it crashes.
Sometimes if u don't have enough zealots to crush carriers its good to halucinate more zealots with ht,since u will have lot of gas and storming isn't very good if its sunny - this often results in oponent typing : OMG u have so many of them, and just gg alt+q q.
I personally use carriers only for scouting - like already said put one on the cliff to detect gay drops and other one patrols around the map.
- It's all just treason - They bring me down with their lies - Don't know the reason - My life is fire and ice -

for those of you who "get it" but dont like it- well, i tried to make a lot of references to actual ideas/strats that have been posted here before.. so to appreciate the article you'd have to have been reading the strategy forum for a while

for those of you who dont like my strategy, and think it's ridiculous... i challenge you to a best of 5. you can find me on east or europe as NonY)NuT

technically, supply for supply, they are equal

carriers 6x8/6 = 8 per 1 supply
zealots 16/2 = 8 per 1 supply


im pretty sure carriers attack faster.

haha, you guys are idiots

It's not really a joke and it's not really completely serious either

It's very funny AND it has some uses. whenever my opponent goes carriers i send my zealots where his units arent to take out some buildings and free up some psi. you dont base your strat around it though, but to me it was a pretty funny read
if you guys could use google and post direct links to the maphacks here it would be greatly appreciated. - Nazgul

im gonna have to agree with bigballs on this one. it is a joke by the fact that you wouldnt produce more zealots unless you didnt have gas or something.. but if you have zealots then you should certainly suicide them for more supply or send them at his expansions ASAP to maybe take a few out.

anyway, some of it is joke but it also explains what you really should do if you have zealots vs carriers. the real joke is when a player forgets about his zealots upon seeing carriers and does nothing with them

You copied my strat.

Here is another; Start game with 2gate build. Add gas few seconds later, and just pump zeals only, add few gates. Get leg-speed, and then get out with all your zeals. You have scouted him at beginning of the game, so just target all groups to Nexus. There is usually a hole where zeals can go. Then just keep pumping zeals, maybe expo/add few gates. Works perfectly.
