Its the next castle fight, not dota.

Hopefully the creator will work on adding races other than the base 3 and add a few more game modes/options/items.

Pretty good time burner.

This isn't anything like Dota. Dota is a micro game, this game has zero micro.

my advice, never buy pylons, for 200 minerals you can buy units instead that increase your income.

but pylons give you so much income compare to the other building structure...
i think if you time it right when your army start pushing back it will be very significant

Nowhere near, it's just an inferior version of Wc3's Castle Wars, which didn't get much love

Despite the bounty logic with zealots>marines>zerglings, protoss are way underpowered. With the possible exception of marine blocking (which is very popular atm, but will probably get patched) it is pretty much always better to tech up than to mass tier 1. Stuff like banelings, roaches and reapers are incredibly powerful vs tier one units, as well as cannons shutting down any chance of pushing further. The problem here is that protoss need to spend so much more to get the units they want. zealots cost 100, sentries cost 125, immortals cost 250, phoenixes cost 150.
Protoss also have much more difficulty stopping tier one rushes, and are less able to punish an opponent's mistakes.
/end rant

In response to how to beat spawn blocked units, a single cannon will let you live long enough to out tech them and hard counter that cheap crap. This can be difficult if your ally is a weaker player, as he may not help repair/pick off units with scv.

do you guys at least have battlecraft?

Yeah, we do have Battlecraft. But no Nexus Wars, which is kinda aggravating as I'm getting tired of Battlecraft now that I've done it a few hundred times. (But if anyone wants to talk Battlecraft strats, I'm your man.)

Shouldn't be so hard to upload Nexus Wars to European servers, should it? With the idiotic regional server fixed divide that Blizz has implemented, maybe the creators need to have multiple accounts... >

Pylons are helpful. My standard b uild would be 4 racks hellion medivac 4 banshees, but while building the banshees if they build vikings or mutas or phoenix get vikings yourself, 2 of them should be enough. After this your income should be fairly high but get pylons until income is at 185-200 then go BC's. If they have void rays or corruptors get a few more vikings unless your teammates can get void rays themselves. It depends on your bottom partner if its zerg tell them to get epic hydras since they bunch up well, if its toss just get them to go sentry void rays

This game literally has ZERO micro unlike zergling blood where positioning and surrounds are quite important. In Nexus Wars you build unit producing structures and then the units automatically come out and a-move to the enemies base, you then cannot control them at all.
