Whoops, screwed up a bit on the html, made white on white up toward the top where I put the game type, players, and races. Plus the title came out small when it was supposed to be big :). Oh well, it is late at night, I'm tired, and I'll fix it all when I repost it with pictures in a few days. For now, just highlight the text in between the bars (it just says the game type is ffa, gives the race/color of the combatatants, etc). If someone from the site wants to fix the stupid white on white I'd be thankful :).

Oh, and I messed up a bit on some of the text, throwing it out of alignment a bit in a few spots, damn I must be tired :/. Oh well, it's liveable for now, it'll look alot better when I repost it :)

ack! It doesn't accept anything in brackets..

Whatever.. it meant to say "Positive Feedback" enclosed in brackets. Good game.. Interesting read.. tho I don't really look at the pictures.. Unless they tell the story.

If you hit printscreen during gameplay it saves a screenshot automatically to a screen***.pcx file. All you need from there is a program to convert the .pcx to a .jpg and ya can throw it up on the net (I use paint shop pro). By doing that, you can take as many screenshots as you want, up to 100 I think. Then when the game is over, you go into your starcraft directory and open up some screen***.pcx files to see what ya took pictures of :).

nice BR. you have a style of writing that keeps the reader's attention. with pictures i'd rate this a 9 or above.

Beauty of a BR. I've never tried the mass-dropship stratagey with terrans, as I find I lose air superiority too fast, and then corsairs / scourge blow my dropships out of the air. Which sucks. However, after getting a 6-dropship squad with maad wraith support dropped on my cliff by MisterBlue, I think it might be worth a try.

I don't think pictures are reallly nessecary...the writing was damn good.

All the best,
Fractal_Wave

Toward the end of the game I was probably using 15-18 dropships :). My origonal plan was to deal with orange, then switch back to air, but when nobody else could really effectively expand I decided to just keep going with what was working. Besides, I had the choice of 3/3 marines, or 1/0 wraiths :/. Other then that, the report still needs cleaning up, and the pictures I want to add really are awesome :) (one is the before and after from my first drop, zergling blood everywhere, mutas popping, and 5 marines/4 medics standing there facing off vs around 6 injured mutas as the reinforcements are arriving).

That was one bad a$$ report. It's especialy interesting to me as a zerg. didn't those guys have lurkers?? or defilers? or guardians? my god, you can't expect hydras to hold against medarines, so i don't really believe they had none.

Anyway, your strat is good, but it has weaknesses. patrolling scourges, lurkers, dark swarm, ultras, all that can make life hell for rines in dropships. especially the scourges. losing half your troops in the air will just piss you off so badly, you hardly think clear.(really nifty: scourge other zerg's ovies. it drives them MAD).

oh yes, and one thing about the radiation: irradiate sucks only if you dont know how to evade it. 2 irradiates should not kill a hydra mob. unless of course you didnt research burrow, which is your own fault. orange's victory in the Grand Battle would have cost him 100/100.

Does paint shop pro cost anything? if so, whats another one i can use?
#14 |RAID| (162.42.18.161)[15741]
Paint shop pro has a free shareware version, try it.
On a side note, patheto, the guy was going mass expand/mass muta/zergling. Undoubtedly he planned on getting guardians out soon, but he felt he would be able to hold his isles with his HUGE muta fleet for the time being. When I hit his main he was nearly finished with a greater spire (guardians were going to be coming SOON). As far as irradiate was concerned, I was mass irradiating MUTAS. It's much harder to root 4-6 irradiates out of a fleet of 25+ mutalisks, then it is to root 4-6 irradiates out of a group of hydra. In other words, irradiate slaughtered his mutas with him only able to sort out a couple of the effected mutalisks.
And yes, the game was awesome liquid :).
Anyway, I'm working on the "gold" edition ;p with pictures, better html, etc. With any luck it should own :).

And I know the strategy had weaknesses :) I wasn't using it because I wanted to, I was using it because I HAD to in order to survive vs the situation at hand. It was a necessary move, lots of things could have stopped it, but his current build, mass muta/lings, was vournerable, and I took advantage of that window of opprotunity to win the game.
