What kind of strategies do you use when you play Starcraft.
One I like to use is on this map with three players. I happen to be in the middle of the map while the other two players are on the other sides. I put 6 siege tanks (seige mode), 12 marines, 6 Goliaths, 6 missle turrets and 3 ghosts. I put the exact amount of forces on each side so when eith side tries to pull a pincer attack on me they usually lose most of their troops my the tanks & missle turrest, If any are left the marines take em out. I have a ffe others as well.

Edit

I have a strategy I use on any map. I block the exit of my base with a dozem spider mines , then 12 seige tanks, 12 Marines, 12 Goliaths, then another dozen Marines.

Edit

Here is one I use for the zerg I have 2 bases with a nydus canl in each base, so that I can easily move my units around, It can help when I am being raided by an enenmy force and I am low on units, I can move 12 hydralisks into the other base to fight them off.

Edit

I also have one for the Protoss, I build a Bunch of Carriers (6-10), have 8 scouts, and then 2 Arbiters for cloak. Another strategy I used on the Last mission of regular Starcraft, I used 12 Archons and had them backed up with

the Terran Force that you get in the mission.

and A few Carriers.

I find your lack of faith disturbing...

cmon zack is all about warcraft now!

but my old strategy used to be (and im not playing with computers on single player with cheats like you) where im zerg and i just build a little defence and a few zerglings and then i save up gas and money and just mass mutalisk and kill em all. of course thats if they dont have air defence in there base.

Zerg: mass queens with defilers to fite da invisible observers!!!

Terran: mass marines with firebats as backup and science vessels to matrix

Protoss: mass probes with arbitor recall

am i doing this righttttttt

I don't play SC a hell of alot anymore. But from What i remember i always did this- Pardon me but i don't recall the names of a lot of things.

Zerg- Mass Zergling- Backed up with some Hydralisks, and A few Mutalisks.

Terran- The Missle silo tech- works best with a good Ally.

Protoss- I think its carriers- the things that launch the little ships- I make like a lot of those and fortify my base with many many cannons.

i havent played the game in years but i used to own!

Zerg - either zergling rush (has to be ultra early) if not just build trillions of mutalisks because they have the bouncing projectile an dboth air and ground.. a group of 100 will just take out anything... anything!!!! and much easier to replace than a battle cruiser/carrier

Terran - Defense!!! ust build bunkers with a ton of marines in side behind the bunkers have siege tanks in siege mode and missle turrents in between the bunkers... If vs Zerg build fire people (forgot their names)

Protoss - i hate using them cause i feel like im cheating their too good.... but yeah i build just tons of zealots and dragoons... its a good comboe just have to make sure the dragoons dont get attacked... and build black templar if you know that the enemy is stupid and doesnt have detectors (like me). Carriers are normally not worth building in a good multiplayer game....

i havent changed my avatar or anything in a long time! time for a change yall!

First and formost, a few hundred turrets defending my base. Have some Battlecruiers patrolling, as well as no less than 20 Walkers (the mechs), and 15 Siege Tanks, in mobile mode. My attack method is MUCH more simple... set up around 5 missile silos, and send in a Ghost or 5. Nuke the bloody hell out of the enemy. If my ghosts are destroyed, then I send my Battle Cruisers to Yamato Cannon the opposition into oblivion.

Uwao. aooh! I'm Gau!
I'm your friend!
Let's travel together!

First, I go out with mass drones for zerg(like 20 drones) and then make defense (sunkens and spores) I make alot of defense, start mining alot of things, like gas and minerals and until i have both 1500 gas and minerals, i make so muchh hyrdras that the enemy will die instantly. (it works ^^) thats how i eat enemies ! (sometimes the terran rush me with marines and firebats, so thats why i mkae hellof alot of sunkens and spores, oyeah and the zealots, ugh i hate those)

My nuke strategy:
5 command centers with Nuke silos attached and ready to laucnh a nuke. Have 5 ghosts go do different areas on map and set of the nukes on ememy bases and is cloaked at same time. usually I will have 2 or 3 ghost in one area.

Air attack: 12 Battlecruisers ready with yanmato Cannons and full MP (or whatever it is called), 12 wraiths and valkeries as backups (Valkeries get the extra air units and wraiths get extra ground units.)
