Dunno what the rules are for In Utter darkness , but incase no rules apply , do the DT trick where you wall off all the chokepoints and focus on killing the observers that come with each wave before they get close to that wall, keep 2 collossus on each chokepont and mass tons of air.

place masses of cannons around the base for nydus worms , and SAVE after each successfull wave.




Rules are only zealots made, so no DT trick

You can build cannons right? Maybe you can do it just by building cannons since I don't see zealots being more useful than cannons anyway.

I think if I mass cannons and zealots with fast armour+shields upgs, and then get air upgs for the stuff they give you it MAY be possible to barely make it, but you'd need to keep every single thing they gave you alive, I forsee a lot of quicksaves and reloads when units are lost...

I am sure you know all of this . . . but just in case:

You will need to get the gold expansion early, and I wouldn't worry about the gas. You will have plenty for upgrades.

And use pylons to block the two base entrances on the upper platform, then double or triple stack cannons. I assume you are forgetting about the archives - would seem impossible to keep those.

I think building placement and attempting to abuse and funnel the ai will be key to having a chance of winning. Kinda like a tower defence heh. gl. I dont know how you would protect the gold. I thought you would be retreating to high ground immediately.

I think you should be realistic and let yourself use medics as well.

Medics actually aren't needed for any of the missions, just bunkers and an endless supply of marines for cannon fodder. I've gotten through almost all the main missions now and I'm not at all worried about Gates of Hell or Shatter the Sky. I do think In Utter Darkness and All In will be impossible with zealots/marines only, but if Shiladie can do it I will be duly impressed.

In Utter Darkness is very timed and methodical, if you take it one fight at a time, it is less daunting. I'm gonna finish it before I move on to char though.

what Thefinalword said about building placement is spot on, I've been experimenting with what kinda walls they attack vs which they try to walk around...

Very cool. I saw one Video where a guy used Gateways to block the two entrances and the gold expansion.

I would think you could take the gold and defend it once with your army - second wave attacks it I believe and then it's left alone for awhile. Get several cannons to defend it behind the gateways.

Once the next wave from the NW hits it, yiu would have to give it up. I don't know, it might not be possible to make it with your time. I would just think those minerals would help get you a lot of extra cannons and zealots.

Regarding brood lords, I would have to assume that the phoenix and void rays you get will have to take care of those quickly.

I suggested pylons as fodder because I believe the AI attacks those only after hitting other targets, plus they can be rebuilt quickly.

Anyway, you have probably already thought of all this. Good luck.

I take it you're going to play All In against mass air? How would you manage to take down all those nyduses :/
