Lifetime Rating for HolyAnarchy{GK}: 5.8333 |     | Pre-Game: After sleeping 12 hours after getting back from a Canadian vacation, eh, I connected to the net and went to nohunters. No one was alive or there, so I logged off, and switched over to Vanilla SC for some reason. I joined a public game titled: 1vs1 kinda-new. Well, my Vanilla record is 3-1, so I qualify as new, right? =). I join, and the guy has already picked terran. His name is FEARFACT., I tell him I dont like Fear Factory, and he informs me that I suck. WELL! I think about my Vanilla days and choose zerg at the last second.
Map: Challenger
Me: Zerg, Bottom
FEARFACT: Terran, top
Recalling how in vanilla days, I got to 1200 on ladder by muta rushing, I decided to rely on air power. I started out with a power build, pool on 9, and continued to make drones until 14. I threw up 2 sunkens, and started to get gas. I started another hatchery by my gas, and made a few lings. I sent one to go check him out. He already had a factory building. Wow. I quickly started up a lair while making more and more lings, worrying abput tanks. Since this was vanilla, there were no slutty medics around to help the infantry. Good.
My Lair finished, and I started a spire and sent another ling to scout. I saw now a starport with 3 wriths sitting around it. Uh-oh, a wraith kid. I threw up 3 creep colonies around my base, quickly threw together an evolution chamber, and made them into spores. By now, I had a spire done, with economy flowing. I made 6 mutas and went to annoy/attack. I killed an scv making a turret, and then a few more along with some marines. Back at home, I was pumping mutas. When I had 9, I sent them to go chill at his island. I killed a wraith sitting there. About 6 more fly in, and I destroy them all, commenting on the waste of cash.
I made a hydra den back at home, and started the attack upgrade for missle and air attack. Still no attack. I send a muta to scout, and find he has a nuke silo bubling with a few ghosts. I decide to monitor him easier and make a queens nest, and make 3 queens. I wait around for them to get 75 energy (Set this back to 50, and set the range back. That is better than making it 75 and long range.) I'm constantly pumping mutas, and throw up a third hatchery between my two. I start a hive, going to go gaurdians, because he has a bunch of bunkers sitting around with turrets.
I have 6 lings and a ol sitting at my choke, waiting for a nuke, and that is exactly what happened. "Nuclear Launch Detected" I spot the ghost trying to take out my 6 lings and ol (GASP!) and kill it with my lings. Now my hive is done, and I start a greater spire, because my air upgrade has finished. By now, I have transport and have started an expandion on my island (very slow expanding, I gotta watch that). My greater spire finishes, and I morph 8 gaurdians. I send 12 mutas, 8 gaurdian, and 3 ol's to his choke. My gaurdian kills his bunker there. "Nuclear Launch Detected". I check back at my main and exp, and I don't see a dot. Where's the dot, where's the dot? KA BLAM! Oh, there it is, right under my massed troops at his choke.
I had briefly looked there and didnt see it. Damn me. I have a 3 surviving mutas and 1 gaurdian, and leave them there. I morph up 8 more gaurdians, and send them and 12 more mutas to his choke. I start my attack on his base, and about 10 wraiths. My upgraded mutas ripped them apaprt, losing only 4 mutas. Now, he has a brilliant idea. Defensive nuke. Nuclear launch detected. I see the dot under my troops, which are over his buildings. I laugh and move my troops, letting him nuke himself. I move in and hammer his remaning buildings while he cusses me out. I decide to really piss him off and infest his CC. I make infested terrans and take the rest of his buildings out. The eliminated message does not come up. I look back at my main and queqe up 12 more mutas, then see a floating engineering bay near my main. I wait for my mutas to finish, then think about sending them. Naaa. I make 12 scourge and fly them into his frightening Ebay, and he was eliminated.
Lessons
Zerg air rules in Vanilla
Don't underestimate anyone, I didn't think he would have nuked my clustered troops at his main.
Defensive nukes are more trouble then they're worth.
Ok guys, I want lotsa comments here. =)~. Enjoy the pics.
