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... >


if it was easy it would've been uploaded a long time ago, do a search, the map is nowhere to be found. there's several post made already requesting this map to be put on the EU but no luck as of yet.

marines are OP in nexus wars for sure. Start throwing in thors and vikings into the mix and you will be well off.

I've also seen mass lings work as well.

Hey,

dunno where to post elswhere, because it seems like i cannot open a thread.
But maybe someone can help me.

I played Nexus Wars alot. Solo and with a Mate.
Is it somehow possible to play with my Mate in the same Team? We tryed everything but always ended up in different teams.

Somone knows how to do it?

Everyone talks about blocking units to mass them up, how the hell do you block them?

This game is on the EU servers, it's pretty decent.

I agree that Protoss is completely underpowered, units take too long to build and are too expensive.

Could someone explain how the income system works in the game? It's not very clear at all.

Every building you make gives you a little income, I believe for every 50 mins the building costs you get +1 income every 20 seconds or something. The exception is the pylon which gives you +4 income per 50 minerals.

Good God, I fucking love this map.

For some reason my opponents go mass marines without care for whatever the hell is countering them. The result is a very entertaining slaughterfest.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?av598eli98195kv

Some thoughts:

Building up tanks (very cost effective) provides a very good front. Unseiged tank dps is pretty godly in this game--and air is mostly not worth it, unless its to get vikings to counter opponents' air units.

Also, if there's 4 to 5+ raxes total spawning on an opposing lane, investing in an HT or two does wonders. Since storm never hurts your own units anyways, having a few storms pop here and there can be really effective.

Protoss is pretty strong, but is also a huge early investment. Your killcount and income will be relatively low until you get colossus.

Both join a party, join the game as a party, real easy.



And best opening is zerglings, they beat every other opening (2 rines, 1 zlot, 1 reaper, 1 sentry) apart from banelings.

Best combo opening (if you work with your partner) is probably zlot + 2 rines, as zlots can tank alot of damage, and are the same speed as rines, so they won't run ahead like zerglings and die.



From there i'd just gauge on your opponents build and counter in, keep in mind that ranged units are better to mass than melee ones, so roaches/banelings/zerglings/zlots/DTs will only be useful in the beginning (i know roaches aren't melee but they get outranged by everything).

I don't really like Nexus Wars that much (too long, too boring), but I've played a few times and encountered something that worked well (for a while, at least)

3 build on top, 1 bottom. Bottom doesn't build ANYTHING until they have enough money for a photon cannon. They cannon the second ramp to your base (you'll be able to build it right before first creeps get there, usually), then they start building on top. Any time they aren't building something, stand by the cannon and auto repair. By the time your opponents realize this, they've already wasted a lot of money on the bottom lane.

This worked in a version that was out during the beta. Not sure if it's valid now. I'm sure it has a lot of holes that you NW fans will pick out, but thought I'd share anyway.

So I found out you can use ghosts to nuke the whole map. So, which unit is broken again...?

One build my friend and I have been using awhile is making one pool then saving for a fast roach. After that mass roaches and get a few sentries to take care of cloak and a few hydras to take care of air.

Also with using that I say that roaches are too cheap mostly because in using that build my friend and I forced them to nuke three times to stop our roaches a few times.

There used to be a bug that let you cancel hellions and build siege tanks instead. I loved that bug and when it was patched I stopped playing

I try to do a double zealot openner into fast dt. After that I normally have my patner go terran and I remain as protoss in case of mass infantry(colussi and immortals are a must against marine maruader). I know that the protoss aren't the best race but they have enough ways to hurt the terran early on that they often fail later on(they are also the best if you have to solo lane)

I've had the most success with Protoss. I don't think I have ever lost a lane unless my partner sucks extreme crap. What I do is open zealot, and just go sentries. Early game, sentries are the best unit for pushing. It will force the opponent to either cannon or nuke. Once they do that, start spamming HTs. HTs are the best counter pushing unit. HTs will level your opponent's push before they get to your base. Your initial sentries should push back to the opponent and force them to nuke again, or just bounce off their cannon. If they cannon, get immortal colossi. Immortal colossi is probably the best anti ground, and it may force the opponent to go air. Once that happens, get phoenix, as they counter mutas, void rays, banshees, and corruptors, have a slight edge versus vikings, and they lift enemy units as well. After that get void rays since they are one of the best units for late game pushing.

I usually get double rines to open, then depending on how well my lane is holding up, either build more marines, or marauders if they are building banelings. If we are pushing them, I build one hellion, then mass tanks. If they get mutas or banshees, some sentries for detection and shields and thors. If they go bcs, carriers, or voidrays, I build vikings.

Ghosts, they are the early game changer and allow you to transition into pretty much anything you want. Snipe is seriously overpowered.
Shorts down shorts up, BOOM, just like that.
