I think you've lost your mind here. I don't see how it is possible to beat everything like that.

Maybe if mercs are allowed at your disposal..

A lot of people saying it's impossible, I think there are enough cheesy strats that I can do this.

I'm seriously not worried at all about The Dig, maybe I should be, but the laser is just such a beast at destroying things I'm not ready to take-on with my bunker wall. If I find I can't do it the normal way I'll resort to flying swarms of barracks over the enemy bases and sniping all their buildings with the laser...

NUR means no research, so no p-fortresses or perditions allowed :/

The problem with The Dig is that at the >30,000 health point, they send so many templars and colossi, that without stim I think they would just overrun you ><. The drill is just not fast enough to take out 10 different targets

But good luck

Remember perdition turrets require research and are thus not part of a NUR playthrough.

Yea, it's interesting to see people's reaction when they realise how much of the stuff they used a tonne isn't allowed.
There are a few techs I would kill to be allowed to have, like the drop pods, orbital commands, planetary fortress, etc.

It's been interesting to run around with 40-50 marines with varying levels of low hp that they can never get back...

If the regular NUR hasn't been done yet I don't really see a point in even trying this. Have you tried all in with NU but more than marines?

No, because I would need to get a campaign there with no upgs 1st, If I get indefinitely stuck on it with the marine restriction I'll go for doing it with simply no upgrades if it hasn't been done yet. I don't see having problems with a simple NUR all-in though...

The regular NUR has been done and it's not very difficult.

I don't think this is possible, though. With enough patience you might be able to do most of the missions, but I just don't see how you can hold off all the waves while downing every nydus worm on all-in. You also might run out of money on that space mission with the big mothership at the end.

I actually tried something similar, but abit easier: Only marine medic and base recerch allowed, and made it to all in np, but there it gets kinda tricky... but not impossible. Are you gonna use the artifact in all in? i ask cus the real issue i had in that mission was the fact that kerrigan takes 2 much of your marines DPS so enemie forces have a chance to get closer to your army.

Also i think you will have a big problem in some missions. Dont forget that the biggest threat in ALL in is actually banelings combined with ultralisk to tank your DPS.

P.S: i didnt see anyone actually answer to your question about a good encoder, nice to see that as everywhere ppl like to talk about what they want, not what is asked :D.
Id tell you one but dont know any 8(.

Finished up these 2
8 - Cutthroat
9 - The Dig

I gave engine of destruction a try, knowing it would be hard, and sloppy play meant I died on the 4th base. I didn't keep up a solid scv production to sustain the streams of dieing scvs at the front, so i didn't have the econ to keep pumping marines.

The dig got annoying, but wasn't too bad in the end, about as hard as the great train robbery. cutthroat was easy as hell.

What? AFAIK it has not been done and Zades has been stuck on All-in for about a month. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=146562

Why are you linking me to a thread that you didn't read? I posted the entire strategy of how to beat it on the last page a few days ago. Don't get me wrong, you have to put in some work to win, but it's not an ultra-challenging task that beats you 999 times out of 1000. Once you get the correct strategy down, it's just a matter of timing the novas correctly and making sure to put some meat between the zerg and the artifact at the end. In fairness, I was a fairly high level iccup player in BW, so what I call "easy" might be a bit skewed. I don't think it's too difficult for any average diamond level player though.

Because SCV only on casual would still be hard?

In fact it's probably not possible due to ultralisks >_>

They give you a BC that you can give yammato, and DTs, it may be enough!

uploading the great train robbery now, Cutthroat and The dig soon to follow it.
