i am quite ok with FPS shooters, but pitifully horrendous when it comes to RTS. watching pro league starcraft games used to be one of my favorite pastimes, so i know how things work theoratically by and large. a real game against a human opponent is a different story however, i get so overwhelmed by tactical controls i forget to produce/build stuff (not that i am half decent at unit control), which is why i suck and never won a game on bnet.
so here i am playing another supposedely newb FFA game. 2 out of 4 starting members leave the game soon after it starts, leaving me and another guy for a 1 on 1 battle.
early in the game, i was lucky enough have vulture/mine just in time for his zealot rush. with addition of siege tanks, i succssfully trapped and contained him at his starting point. that would have been the best time to finish the game, but being a newb i am, i forget to build enough factories to keep up with unit production. naturally, he started building carriers as we entered a stalemate.
i had few golaith but there were more carriers than i anticipated. as a result, he manages to pick off my tanks and break free and head toward my base. i had tons of minerals/gas but little to no units at that point. but for some reason he returns to his base granting me enough time to train a dozen of cloacked wraith.
to locate the carriers, i sent a SCV to his base and carriers start chasing it running right into my cloacked wraith. his carriers fled to his base where he just started buliding cannons. at first i thought i would lose all my wraiths and reduce a good bit of carriers so my goliaths/tanks could march into his base. guess what, he didnt have a single observer! 😱 what i planned to be a jab to slow him down turned out to be a lopsided massacre. nothing beats butchering helpless carriers without cloacking detection 😀 SWEET~
when all of his carriers evaporized and my wraith start bombarding his probes the guy left the game.
CLIFF NOTES : played a game of super newb FFA on big game hunters, won by destroying a fleet of carriers with cloacked wraiths 🙂 i sucked big time, but the other guy sucked even more 😀
