I think the Olv muta thing happend by mistake. When you drag the box over mutas as soon as they pop hatch, sometimes you get a olv or larva in the cntrl group. Most likely someone noticed that the mutas stacked and found out why.

How do you make the olv spin? That is something I forgot how to do because when I knew it I didn't use it.
You do not know what you do not know that is why you do not have. If you knew what you new then you would have. Because to know and not to do is not to know.

I just think through years of playing and trial and error the players adapted into the fastest possible and most reasonable way to do something to its fullest.

Before I even knew how big b.net was, before I had the internet, and was running BW on a 64mb ram 133mhz cpu I played comps in 8-way FFAs. Stuff like 40 mutalisk armies, storming, arbiters, dragoons. Heh i just mixed random units and tried to get money. I do remember stuff like that ass world map with 3000 per patch at the mains, and there was a center expo. I'd sit there with templar and 10 goons and cannons and arbiters trying to hold it against 4 comps trying to kill me >.< I just mucked around with units and had such a basic understanding. I actualy used DAs! Then there was the rigged 12 car army that crushed everything. Man I played 8 hours long FFAs back then VS the AI oO This was 1.04 thanks to no internet.
I never mass expo'd, i wonder who invented that...And stim, i barley knew that existed let alone use it.

The flipside is that its not really as much fun to play now. And I mean that in a purely sim-city sense. The age of experimentation is over. Now its just technicality.

At VERY first, all I did was

Terran -> Turtle/D until BattleCruisers
Protoss -> Turtle/D until Carriers
Zerg -> Turtle/D until mass hydras or guardians/mutalisks
Use it or lose it

Pre-BW I didnt ever make more than 1-2 of any production building, beacuse I figured "Eventually it would be wasted mineral when I am all mined out."

And I made units in groups of 12. So I would have like 12 dragoons, and then I would make 12 carriers. Which to me was the ULTIMATE POSSIBLE ;;


Me too. And if one carrier got hurt beyond the shields it'd be retreat time, that carrier would be retired to base and a new one would be built. If it's damaged then it is no longer as strong as it can possibly be.

If you wanted it to to spin say on a command center, you center it on the cc first, then you right click somewhere else and immediately press patrol and left click on the cc. So the overlord will be patrolling between 2 very close points and will twirl round and round.

why is that? and yeah, sc now is all a certain order, and only boxer seems to be the only one being able to come up with new stuff, but its not even that out of the box you know? its all ultimate micro, no revolution thing. before i knew sc was so famous, i usualy made 2 of every unit buildings and made 12 units of each and attacked like on this map called sc color money.
Its all fun and games until Boxer loses a marine.

You do not know what you do not know that is why you do not have. If you knew what you new then you would have. Because to know and not to do is not to know.

I just guessed it would've been more fun since everyone would have their own unique strats, it wouldnt be the stock-BO's you see in most games now. Just a thought.

ExecutorZileas, the #1 Beta BroodWar player before Korean-pros created many Terran and Protoss strategies, employing a lot of templar usage.

He published a lot of strategy guide build orders online.

I think that's about true.
1 hatch hydra rushes were also quite valid before larva spawn was slower

And in vanilla I did tank+m pushed everything. Push1: do dmg, Push2: do more dmg Push 3: have BCs and win. Opponent was contained and got owned by BCs, I think that was my short period of gosu-ness when I got the timing down, ofcourse it didn't last more than a month or so
