The Royal Stove required a fourth step: morphing a Dark Archon (extremely underused spellcaster) and using Mind Control (a permanent Neural Parasite) against your opponent. This was like getting slapped in the face while your girlfriend watched and fucked your best friend. About as clear-cut as it could get, I'm deeply saddened by the number of people who started going into build analysis without looking at the 'purpose'. Like someone else mentioned, this strategy described here isn't a Royal Stove because there is no more mind control ability available to Protoss compared to Brood War. Rather just a SC2 Variant of Chef's Stove. I'm waiting for the first few replays of the SC2 Stove regardless just for the pure entertainment value and consequent shaming of the victim. | ||

But, if a Zerg player controls both a mothership and siege tanks that they've built (i.e., they've NP'd both a probe AND an SCV, and started from scratch with 2 races instead of just 1), can the mothership recall a sieged tank? | ||

No you need to NP it like 9-10 times, it just runs away. Fortunately it does not cancel the construction. Not sure what happens if you morph a building with a drone though. | ||

The ground to air attack was 8, and the attack was slow. A marine attacked 2 times without stim for every attack of the scout. So the scout was worth around half a marine for damage to ground purposes. The stove guide even says you have to do a fuckload of damage to make the scout worthwhile. Then when you also tech to dts you need to do a fuckload of damage to make the dts worthwhile. And so forth. All we can achieve right now is a goodminded stove-copy. The spiritual successor of the scout is the voidray, no? Price is similar, though the vr is good instead of bad. However the build is still very bad, after going vr switching to dts is about the least intuitive way of playing. And vrs dont encourage single turrets but clusters of them or anti air units. I think I am going to do it right now. [edit] I tried it 2 times and of course it didn´t work. Anyway, it felt to be quite similar to the stove relays I´ve seen. Though I am by no means good with protoss, here is what I did(I won´t detail everything, like when warpgate tech etc.): tell him you are going to pwn his sorry ass 8 pylon 10 gate 11 gas core after gate I threw in a double gas steal, for bad manners mainly. stargate -> 1 voidray, chronoboost it asap twilight council and dark shrine and fleet beacon try to build pylons so i can warp in on his high ground 1 volley of dts, sight with voidray build mothership ->recall an army in his base. My execution was crisp, in the sense that feces get crisp when dry. My unit control is shitty, I instantly lost my voidray to stalkers, also he had observers by the time I had dts. The mass recall was pretty good though. [/edit] | ||

If a Zerg player neural parasites an SCV, builds a CC for another SCV, techs to siege tanks, neural parasites a Probe, builds a nexus, techs and gets a mothership, that mothership CAN recall sieged tanks! http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/112584-ffa-terran-protoss-zerg-metalopolis Thanks to LegoShrimp for his help with this! | ||

so you can only do the stove in sc2 and not the royal one as the thread title says but seriously the stove is #1 build | ||
