one could argue that with this style you would actually have more gas with goliath / vulture to produce vessels. If you consider it most TvZ this day especially with fast xpo builds are using a 2 fac build. Medics (25 gas) Firebats(25 gas) Tanks (100 gas) Vessels (225 gas) owning a T(priceless) sike j/k. Anyway, with metal its just vultures (0 gas) goliaths (50 gas). So in a way you could at a minimum still produce the same amount of vessels with your goliaths as you could with a normal M&M / Tank build.

One could argue that you should try it out first before making things up.

the waekness of mutalisks vs goliaths is the range.

mutalisks have to get pretty close to attack.
mutalisks have a range a bit lower than a marine.

goliaths have huge range and have range upgrade.

if you can spread out your goliaths and put them in a line instead of a grouped up circle, you can do pretty good if you micro vs the mutas. think about marines arc formation vs lurkers.

but if mutas are grouped up and are attacking focus fire or attacking close to the goliaths, they will lose.

Just look at Oov, he got PWNed by IXP trying to do mech.

WTF ARE 1-1-1 GOLIATHS?

NEW PATCH CAME OUT?

GOLIATHS HAVE SHIELDS???????????????????????????










the problem with metal, is the fact, that as you are massing goliaths, the opponent is massing mutas + exping using free minerals
when you go out - he will destroy your base and be able to retreat his mutas to save main
perhaps you will kill the main, but you will lose your own
and here is the problem
you dont have your main vs a zerg who has 2-3 expos

in other scenario the zerg goes hydra+muta
and you need to include tanks
again the problem is the harass

however in some situations, if you harass well at the beginning - perhaps with some sort of drop, it is pretty good

basically you just need to slow down the zerg and dont let him expand

sometimes you can get 3 valkiries and own huge amounts of mutalisks, but smart zergs switch to hydras and valkiries cost a lot of gas
I have returned

Try playing the game you love posting about so much once in a while, when you see goliaths they have 3 upgrade icons in the wireframe.

1-1-1 I write it as I see it, and if you weren't so eager to surf the waves of flame you would have thought about what you said, and not said it.

I'm not quite sure why you'd want to get both engineering bay upgrades plus both armory upgrades in order to make your ground army slightly weaker and reduce your vessel count.

What would you want goliaths for?

you DONT get both ebay upgrades and both armory upgrades, i'm talking about two different strategies and you would know that if you had bothered to read my posts before jumping at the chance to join in with the crowd. And you get goliaths because they are cool;) they do well against pretty much anything, you can use them for drops (super range, marines being sufficient vs muta doesn't make goliath range irrelevant, catching ovis over water (gogo waste irradiate) and dont get SLAIN by lurkers.

Hung didn't you read anything I just said... I'm totally putting the ball in your court here and your still calling me retarded. I refused to support my ideas FURTHER because

1. You were calling me retarded for it
2. I was being told to stop

So I did stop, and now I'm a retard because of that.

Edit: Chill I can't play tonight I need sleep for work and we in different time zones, I'll come online and whisper you at some point and we can arrange..

you didnt stop, you just stop providing an explanation. although you were doing that before you were told to stop. so either stop or actually support your statements

Me and Chill played a bo3 series on temple. I was the mech terran and he was the zerg, he won 2-1. In the end, we both agreed that terran needs an expand for mech to work and that valkyries are too expensive.

Goliaths would be upraded 1-1, where it is 1 armour, 1 weapons. There is no third upgrade like in protoss for 1 armour, 1 shield, 1 weapon. The reason why there are 3 upgrades in the wireframe is because the goliath has two weapons, so both get upgraded one, similar to the cruiser. However the upgrade would be still 1-1 and not 1-1-1.

Yeah, it's not like you could upgrade the goliaths to be 1 armor, 1 ground weapon, and then 3 air weapons. It's just 1-1.

What if Oov played MnM and still got "PWNed" by ipx, would you tell us not to do it then?? Why not post the rep/vod or discuss the game and talk about WHY he lost rather than just being useless.

Why is it that when faced with something correct from someone you view to be entirely incorrect, you ALL just find some shit to talk about and post it.

You are exactly right, which is why I never said that and never will.

I EXPLAINED IN MY POST THAT YOU ALL QUOTED THAT I WROTE IT AS I SEE IT. I KNOW THERE ARE NOT SHIELD ON GOLIATHS, I FUCKING SAID IT - ITS THREE IN THE WIREFRAME,

There are four upgrade choices in the armory, not six, you know this, I know this.
When you click on goliath and look in the middle, there are three icons, you know this, I know this.

Edit:If the same people just spew more shit at me after this, don't expect a reply ever, so really all your doing is taking a cheap shot as I'm not going to defend myself, you know that I can but I won't as there's multiple of you and your all convincing each other that what your posting about what I said really matters, but I can assure you that your all a bunch of cock suckers.

if you werent a newbie
you would know that you pay for 2 upgrades and get 3!

and no!
goliaths dont use the u-238 upgrades! or infrantry weapons! despite the fact they have dual cannons!
they just use standard mech attack upgrade!







you havent played for a long time!
the game has evolved!
no more chainguns!
