Congratulations.
Well folks, I got this one right on the first try... and it was nearly as difficult to write as the 3Way, due to all the attacking... hope you enjoy. Whew... this is getting to be difficult to try to keep up. =P |

Amazing Report
I luv it when Upgradedkakaru loses
Stupid bird for brains =P
On a unrelated topic
I beat my freind Fnkymunky with 5 wraithes and one building left and he had a main and a expansion left
I hope this think loads right.. if not can someone explain how

You are correct 2Inadequate. Zerg do suffer a bit on realm, as I found out vs DinoDin and Mark4 on different occasions. Still... Kak put forth the challenge in a HUGE way, so... ...and no one forced race choices on anyone.
Like I said in the report... if Kak took the high ground choke above Mark4's base, well, I don't know if that would have been enough, but it might have been. Sunkens there would have forced Mark to get Reavers and shuttles or power out with archons and zealots. Either way, Kakaru could have powered during that time. Kak played a good game. |

Damnit Kak, you kept telling me you were going to win this one. Oh well, it was on realm, a terran map, and definitely anti-zerg. I guess game 3 should be on a giant zerg map like Medusa, though, he would probably still lose to Mark4's dts and anal probes.

Save the image as JPEG using any editing program zero. This map isn't anti zerg. It's just not insanely pro zerg with an easy natural that protects the main entirely with a few sunkens. Zileas said it best back in the beta. A zerg can expand nearly for free with the new sunkens. Playing maps which make them divide forces between a main and an expansion at least is merely fair.
Great report YRM. I loved the mini map animation. Seeing the waves of troops was awesome. |
| #13 Wrestler4life (spider-wc083.proxy.aol.com)[8460] |

| That was a gg glad to be there and a observer there. Kak realy started well but holding land insted of zergling sucides would have worked. If mark4 does not out resourse u can likely beat him. Just hard to do it. |
| #14 YourRoleModel (218.np5.np.dialup.nauticom.net)[8461] |

Yeah... Kak scored a minor victory getting past three tough exteriors to hurt the feelings of Mark4's inner-inner child though. Don't forget about that.
Ugh... I thought I might have a shot at a 10 with this one. Oh well... maybe next time. |

Good Report YRM, congrats...
About the zerg on Fading Realm, i think if the Zerg dont take the game early/mid, they are screwed against a competent opponent. Its very difficult for a zerg to hold the center expansion without paying for it. This is relative to the other races... of course |
| #23 -=Elminster=- (lennon.vianet.net.au)[8472] |
|
uhm mark, i disagree with what u said that zerg got large advantage in map with easy natural and lots of expansions. Firstly zerg have to outpower their opponent in order to win. Theres no way they can stand a chance against competent terran or toss opponent resource per resource. Secondly, even if got zerg got large amount of expansions, most of the time they wont be able to gather too fast out of it, because of zerg's disadvantage with unit production system (no continous drones 8(, at least for me ). Speaking of expansions. Its not a rarity too for a protoss/terran to outexpand zerg by huge and zerg doesnt really have effective containment mode (exclude lurkers against no mobile detection unit from opponents). Park ur troops in front of an opponent base and storm+tank can push out. Their best chance to contain is in center where u can flank them out. but what the heck im getting out of the point now here. Hehehehe good BR anyway YRM kickass graphic as usual.
As for imbalance I really think its as balanced as it can be. Try tweaking something up and another imbalance will shine through on another.
Oh well, just a 2 cents from a sucky player 8(

I like Fading Realm as a zerg player... maybe I'm just sick in the head. 8^) Against a toss who has to defend a zergling power attack it is quite easy to grab an expansion close to your opponent. That's one less for them and a great place to stage a firebase. Canals give you instant mobility when they come online.
As well I tend to go for ensnare over spawn broodlings. It gives your ground troops an immense advantage over your opponent and it's cheap too.

| #25 YourRoleModel (relay.atinc.com)[8475] |

Good points HardDrive. From watching this game and playing two on this map with zerg, my feeling is that taking the enemie's "natural" and holding his cliff is a great plan for zerg.
Playing against DinoDin made me realize that Plague is a better neutralizer vs terran infantry than swarm. Medics can't heal plague, but they try and run out of mana before you can micro them. Where the zerg have trouble is holding the center. It's lowered and an easy target for tanks or cannons or storm. Vessels take easy cover in the cliffs and, for a good micromanager like Dino, a perfect situation. I didn't learn as much playing Mark4 on this map since the game wasn't very close... In conclusion, I think zerg can win on this map, but they need to alter their thinking from powering out of a gimmie.
If Mark4 hadn't build such a tight military compound, he'd have lost in 10 minutes, but his defenses were nearly flawless. Kak should have retreated after killing the expansion, but he has the attacking mindset and pursued what has worked for him in the past. |

A protoss player has to understand the fundamental nature of the early protoss vrs zerg game. If the zerg goes for unit production he will run you over. No questions asked. If he goes for tech you are on equal footing. And if he powers and expands the mid game is the same as the early game, he will probably run you over. The protoss basic units (goon/zealot) when fighting equal cost of zerg basic units get smacked around. Not totally, but they do lose. Add in the fact that the zerg pays a lot less for thier production model than the protoss and therefore have more resources to spend on troops and you see the problem.
The basic response of the protoss depends on recon. If you see him going for a tech build then you respond with a tech build of your own or a mass low level unit attack. Keep in mind the zerg early game static defenses are the best in the game (and should be for what they cost...the lost drone is an investment), but your tech eats his tech for lunch. If he is going for a mass low level unit attack, you need to build a tight defense. Not an over investment in defense, just enough that it will let you cost effectively take his attack, and keep a large part of the defense as units which lets you switch to an attack if he doesn't keep up with his unit production after his attack. And if he powers again go for a low level unit attack or get tech that will let you punish a low unit count in the mid game.
The key thing is that if you have equal skill and you both go for units, you lose. His units are more efficient than yours. But if you can buy tech while still defending his attacks your tech should let you start killing his units cost effectively. Templar solve just about every problem a zerg can give you. As long as you use your tech decisively once you have it and don't let yourself be outresourced, you will probably win. |

Seems to me that muties are a must on a map like this. 'Course the Zerg needs to get double gas in order to crank out muties. Mutie harassment is one of the best ways to keep a protoss in their base, which means that one or two templar have to stay at home (both in the main *and* in the expansion) in order to defend. I noticed that Mark4's cannon defenses were on the left side of his nexus, and one cannon above his nexus. Kakaru could have dropped hydras on the backside of the main(there's a nice little drop-zone there), or flew some muties in for a volley or two, then run away when the Templar comes to storm.
Muties are useful all game, and if used correctly, they don't get killed as easily as some people think. That is, if they don't stand still too much... |
| #28 2Inadequate (197.chicago-03-04rs.il.dial-access.att.net)[8482] |
|
| It's not difficult to keep track of the lowly 5 expansions as protoss. early/mid game 3 cannons backed with defense and probes will hold off basically everything a zerg can throw at you, and if its just lings, 1-2 cannons will do just fine. Zerg need a natural to have a good chance against a toss/terran (unless you get lucky w/ a lurker rush). As mark4 said, once you get u'r temp archives out, 2 dtemps and the rest temps/goons or temps/zeals will give you the win in most situations (unless he goes mass queens or something, I guess). |
| #29 Gecko (proxy.evitech.fi)[8483] |

YRM, about the graphics on the report. It took like 2 minutes to view the page.. as a graphics professional you should know that too much is too much :Q
couldn't you have less colors on the images or higher compression, it's not like we have to see every shade and pixel in them... also, does the logo have to animated? |
| #30 Mark4 (strangers.bragg.army.mil)[8484] |
|
Gecko, get a real ISP =]. I would wait ten minutes to read a report like this.
Properly managed mutas make lightly escorted templar into a joke. Just get the right amount (10?) to kill a templar in one volley and raid. I knew kak wasn't dropping due to my recon. That "portly" zealot ran around the whole base before being dragged down by the zergling horde. Yeah, that armor is heavy, but with a dedicated exercise program like I have it's not a problem. |
| #31 YourRoleModel (relay.atinc.com)[8486] |
|
The animated gif is under 50k. Most of the images are under 50k... Theoretically, if you wait until the Marquee has loaded, and start reading, the rest of the images are coming in as you reach them in your reading. Each image averages just a few seconds loading time except for the Minimap battle, which is compressed severely to around 70k, and it's about 100 frames.
If this was a project for AT&T, yeah, I'd target the images so that the total of every image on a page was not greater than 75k, but here, I'm going for quality over loading speed.
To answer your question about compression... on a scale of 1-10, these jpgs are a 2, meaning they are nearly as small as possible.
Alot of people enjoy seeing their name in a 3-5 frame animated gif, and are excited about the prospect of seeing their own name receiving some kind of treatment.
My suggestion to you is to open my report, go grab yourself a drink or alt/tab into another program for 2 minutes, and come back. To me, two whole minutes of your life is worth the added entertainment value the pictures bring. My reports are as carefully written as I can manage, but I think people would be sad to see the graphics go away or be greatly reduced. It's not like you had to wait a half hour only to find that none of the pictures came in or something. |
| #32 .Praetor (port-sac15.cwo.com)[8492] |

Nice report as always YRM. Though the animated marquee was a little annoying. It went way too fast. I agree with most everyone that the picture loading time is fine. AND I'm connected with a 14.4 modem. SO there. As to the realm debate, I think the Zerg do NOT have a problem with no easily accessible natural.
If you ask me, they have plenty of options. But with the overplaying of Temple and other natural maps, few good Zerg players have the right mind set. |
| #33 YourRoleModel (relay.atinc.com)[8494] |

nice report..and uhh...
Mark4 calls him self a protoss player but he wont play vs a zerg on temple or rivalry. Zerg NEED a natural or they die horribly to protoss, so uh rethink your strategy there mark4, its not like its unwinnable vs zerg, its balanced :[. But i'm sure every zerg he played on LT he would get smacked around vs and lose his rep as godly protoss player blah blah who cares btw Schizo is right.
M@sta[TLK] |
| #35 YRM (relay.atinc.com)[8496] |

What's funny is that I've never heard Mark4 say that he's a godly player, and Kakaru rematched him on Temple right after this game, but I don't know what happened. I do know this, if I go to any public channel and call out a challenge, 80% of the time, I win. If I go to nohunters and call out a challenge, I'm lucky if I win 40%. I think players like Heartcutter, Thorn, Whoop, M@sta, etc... are possibly not far from the level of the top players in the game, yet they often say that they are average. Mark4 has mentioned you, M@sta, as a great player, so I'm not sure why he seems to be put down just because us little people respect his game.
Personally, I think that the level of challenge thrown out by Kak should allow his opponent to pick the map... but in any case, I believe that I was the one who picked it. Oh well, it's cool when a report starts a map tactic debate. |

| I was there when Kak was challenging Mark and I must say it was quite, <B><h3><FONT COLOR=YELLOW>IRRITATING</B></h3></FONT>. My next gripe... what would someone have to do to get a 10? IMHO this is a 10, hands down. If you compare it to any other report, it is just on another plane. Oh well, GREAT battle report, and nice job Mark. That first attack would have killed most protoss players.. lurkers with no detection.. YUK! Unless you have mulitiple charged temps. Good job to Kak too! You have been watching a lot of games lately, has that helped? ;-) Chow~! |
| #39 HolyAnarchy{GK} (spider-wc031.proxy.aol.com)[8503] |

| Hey YRM, nice report. Im glad Mark kicked Kakaru's ass. Also, why didn't Kak mass hydras? He used more than 1 strategy {GASP!}. I wish I was in on this, but someone kept lagging, and you kept dropping. How did u get kak to play a non-gimme map? |
| #40 YourRoleModel (relay.atinc.com)[8505] |
|
Well, as IceBerG pointed out... Kakaru was spamming like... i dunno, the company that makes spam. If he wanted me to do a report, and he did, I really wasn't interested in having him choose the ideal setting for himself too...
Remember Discovery? Remember Challenger? Not every ladder map has to have a gimmie, and zerg can't dodge new maps constantly. Zerg can win on Dire Straights with early drops right? No gimmies there. I think it was especially crazy when he challenged Holy and refused to play on Realm, because I believe Kak is a slightly better player. No offense Holy. |
| #41 Mark4 (147.239.118.3)[8506] |

Any map with an easy expansion, especially one which protects your main is so pro zerg it isn't funny. Ask Thorn for his opinion on this Masta. He admits that zerg own toss on any map with this set up, and zerg own toss on land maps regardless. I entirely agree with him on this.
I think this is a ten report, but I don't vote on reports that I write or am in. Or ones involving Johnny actually.
I never claimed to be a great player or even very good. I consider myself average. Don't take this as false modesty, I mean it. In the group of people I play, I'm average.
When kak attacked with lurkers, I had one charges temp. I used that storm to survive the zergling attack, then had to wait thirty seconds for more energy on the other two temps to kill the three lurkers. Fortunately kak made the mistake of bunching them so two storms cleared the infestation. Lurkers suck vrs buildings due to the high cool down, so I wasn't worried. They key thing was I had detection in the form of cannons if he moved closer to hit the more valuable buildings, and my buildings were made so the large lurkers couldn't squeeze through and get to a detection free area to assault my probes. And I needed every specially trained ninja probe for the final assault =] |

I think zerg can work fine without a natural exp, and likewise protoss can survive fine on maps with a natural exp. Maybe it's the fact that I've always beena well-balanced player, (which doesn't mean I'm good, and I'm not ;-<) but I think zerg and toss are even in either situation. I played thorn and showed him that if a zerg exps properly it IS possible to overrun the exp if you power correctly, (you can at least put the hurt on him or exp yourself) and likewise as zerg on maps with no exp the triple hatch build gives you plenty of offensive power for map control or whatever you need.
I think kak's mistake, though, was getting lurkers. Vs storm they die horribly and with detection they die horribly to toss. Mutas woulda been better for air superiority and temp assassination or even probe harassment and hydras would have given him a lot of offensive power.
Lurkers just don't seem to cut it vs toss.
Urk.. I bet lots of people disagree with me.

That would own.
Hey YRM, do you use 5.0.2 or just 5.0 or 5.5 of photoshop? My files are like huge and take forever to load, and the 5.0.2 says that theres a part that is "optimize for web" or is the 5.5? I've got a new game that I'm wanting to report on, (I'm doing it different, writing the entire report, then filling in the parts where I think a pic would spice it up =] ) |
| #62 YourRoleModel (198.np5.np.dialup.nauticom.net)[8531] |

Make PSD file (Photoshop Deluxe)... it doesn't matter if it has layers or whatever. Save it. This is your working file.
Now: Save as Copy rubber01.jpg Set compression at about two... even then people will still tell you to compress it more, but two is good. Max width 500 pixels... half that or less if you want to align it with your paragraph. Add ALIGN="LEFT" VSPACE=6 HSPACE=6 tags in your IMG SRC tag if you want to put the image beside a paragraph.
Another thing I do, is while I am typing the report, and typing in the IMG "http://... stuff, I copy and paste the URL into my browser to see if the picture will indeed load correctly. Then I use the back button to get back to the report. It's a good way to check as you go. Good luck making it work... it's not horribly easy to throw something like this together, but it is possible. Hope this helps you. |

I frankly don't know why it would be hard to defend a semi distant expansion with zerg. A few sunkens, hydras, and zerglings will do it unless you suffer a serious attack. Also, Zerg have some of the faster units in the game, cheap transport, and nydus canals. Sure, its not as easy to defend a far away natural as on Lost Temple, but I've never had a problem with it. |

"I thought I might have a shot at a 10 with this one. Oh well... maybe next time."
those are the kind of mistakes that separate a 9.5 from a perfect 10 YRM... no offence. Not like i could do anywhere close to what you have done, but you might want to consider hitting the o'l f7. =) |

YRM, it's beautiful. BEAUTIFUL! That's probably the best 1 on 1 report I've read (Although I haven't read significantly more that 50 reports, that's still got to be good;-)
Also, thanx for the insights into mark4's hierarchy of tough character=0
BTW, who thinks Kakaru deserved the 'probing'?
PS: Poor Kakaru must have been too proud to cut out at the end and surrender before the ravages of the evil probes.;-) |

2 Things...
1 - Dev, I commented back. FLS will be back in September. Maybe you will be around?
2 - Would I sound like a total jerk if I politely asked for the spammed image testing and stuff not to be done in report comment sections? I mean, if it's a 1.0 report or something whatever, but in my lil section and in sections of alot of good reports, I have to scroll through miles of failed image tests and two inch tall titles (yes it is cool Rubber Ducky, but make it short and wide to fit better). I like to read my comments and I like to read the comments on other reports and it's getting to be a pain to find the new legitimate comments, even ones that point out a mistake that I may have made (which I do appreciate, and I was kidding about being lazy). Anyway, I'm not pissed off or anything, but I just think it's going a little too far. Am I way off base by thinking that?

Wow..
I think that there´s enough praises here, and I cant see the reason to cheer YRM everytime he writes a report...
So I´m just gonna do it once..
U RULE MAN!!
All your reports do, and always will...
Offcourse some1 better will come along, but never stop writing cuz your reports will always be good..
I know it is boring for the rest of ya guys to read all these praises, so Im gonna write something else..
Tree Templars for the Noble Protoss, up in the sky.
Seven Hydras for the Overlords in their halls that lives.
Nine Tanks for mortal men, DOOMed to die.
One Naked Kerrigan for the Dark lord on his dark throne,
In the land of Latveria, where the shadows lie.
One Doom to rule them all.
One Doom to find them.
One Doom to bring them all,
and in the darkness bind them.
In the land of Latveria, where the shadows lie.
Hehe just a little thing I made up to Enlighten your lifes..
INFIDELS!!!
ehh.. I dont believe in GOD, I believe in Xel´Naga...
ehhh CYA

Um... I don't mind the praise really! It makes me feel like I am doing something worthwhile as a hobby instead of wasting my time. Feel free to pour it on, you don't have to live with my growing ego, so it won't matter in your real life. =)
I freakin' LOVED your tribute to the Lord of the Rings... which is only the best trilogy EVER written, and that's not even opinion folks... normally people are entitled to opinions, but I draw the line at Tolkien's Lord of the Rings... HEHEHE.
Well done Doom!

Talk about comment whore YRM... let me guess you're paying RubberyDucky a commission? *laugh*
I agree with your comments on the zerg vs toss early game Mark 4. Maps with a gimmie that also defend the main are very pro-zerg maps. The way sunkens chew through any early ground attack makes it very easy to defend two bases with no effort.
3 hatcheries pumping constant zerglings is a nasty early game opponent to many toss players. They have to go cannon, upgrade zeal attack or hold their ramp. On a map like FR the last option doesn't apply because of the double ramp.
Add queens and ensare to that mix and things get very ugly for a toss unless they use judicious use of storm.
But what do I know... I suck. 8^)

on a side note of the Lord of the Rings parody. It's gonna be a movie :) There's gonna be lots of huge battles (15k + cgi people to make it 250k). YRM should try and write a battle report on that!!! okay i'm delierous with lack of sleep i admit it
