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... | ||

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 | ||

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... | ||

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. | ||

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(. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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