Lifetime Rating for HolyAnarchy{GK}: 5.8333 |     | Well, after a challenge from Fractal_Wave to make a better BR on this game, here is my modest attempt. DONT expect anything YourRoleModel'ish, I don't have a fancy pic thing like HE does. =)~.
Before the Storm:
I went over to NH to sit, my favorite thing to do, and everyone was taking a nap(Strange how this always happenes) or they were people that I had never heard of, with like 4-29 records. I sat for a few moments, when in came Fractal_Wave. I knew him from this very site, and offered him up a 1vs1. To make this BR as good as YourRoleModel's, I made it on the might Winter Conquest(And am offering the judges a shameless bribe), which I have won 1 out of 4 games on, I think. Fractal said he had 0 out of 7 under his belt on this map. Trading "I suck" and "I suck more's" we began.
Lightning Crashes: (Going with Before the Storm. Huk ^^)
HolyAnarchy{GK}(Your faithfull BR writer) Zerg, Top Left
Fractal_Wave: The often-abussive-to-little-doggies Terran.
I started out with my brand new Zerg strategy. Basicly, it's a pool on 9, hatchery on 9 at the ramp or choke (ramp in this case). Then an overlord, and 2 sunken colonies. I also sent my good drone to expand to 12:00. My overlord, Eli, (Why is everyone naming their scouting units? =)~) Went straight south, and saw the edge of a command center before he retreated. I made a small pack of zerglings, 8 or 10, and stuck them below the ramp, in range of my sunkens. I started getting gas, wanting to tech so I could get those o-so-good-at-killing-M&M's-and-Tank-Pushes-Ultras, and queens with ensnare and broodling. I made 2 evolution chambers, starting Melee and groud armor upgrades, when a brave, brave scv, Markie (NO, I am NOT implying that everyone should call Mark4 Markie. Well, maybe I am. HEHE.) But that's another story. The poor thing tried to get up my ramp, and had it's anus probed by a sunken colony.
Can we STOP TECHING?
I made a lair, while finally getting my expansion running, and a den when the lair was halfway through. I made 6 hydras to play with my lings, and 6 at my expansion. I research lurkes aspect, and make 4 of the thingies. I burrow 2 of them below my main base ramp, 2 on my expansion ramp. The next upgrades, Missle Attack and Carpace, were started, and I got a queens nest, while researching speed for my overlords. I saw a smidgen of blue on my mini map, and saw a young, cussing vulture pilot near my lings. He laying a MINE!, then ran away. Stupid vulture pilot, I'm gonna sic the ghost of Princess Di on you, man she hated mines, almost as much as me. I ran a sacrficial zergling, Larry, around the map. He attracted 3 or 4 mines, and popped. I always hated people named Larry, like all the annoying ones on the Blizzard forums, and SeventhLarry, who's bot says "Welcome to channel Larry" in Nohunters. I made four queens, somewhat supprised I wasn't already trampled by M&M's.
Whats goin DOWN
When the queen, umm...Esmerelda, had enough energy to parisite, I sent it into the back of his base. No units in sight. Hmmm...AHH That's the Stuff. Marines almost reduce esmerelda to blood and gore, but she pulled out with 20 HP left. I start my hive while reseaching Carpace and Melee, all the time pumping hydras. Then a adventourous Wraith appeared at my expansion, and got pot shots at a few drones untill a few hydras shooed him off. Wraiths. Wraiths mean Starport. And what follows a Starport? Science Vessels. Uck. I start a spire, planning to scourge and fat radioactive Mr. Burn's into oblivion. Ahh! My hive is el finne. I start an ultralisk cavern, while researching crack, and expanding to the 2 O'clock position. Ahh. My ultralisk thing is done. I make 3 of the lumbering giants, and just in time. A tank blasts at my lurker, and I see a genouros portion of hydras to try. Think of a banana vs a car. That didn't work. I broodling a tank, ensnare the M&M's and send hydras and ultas on attack move. No losses, except for maybe a hydra or 2. I load up 16 now cracklings into my overlord. I aslo had a defiler mound, and loaded up 2 of those for dark swarm.
Da Drop(s)
Well, this one didn't really work. Both defilers were irridated, and my cracklings went down to bunkers and tanks. I dunno if I got anything. What I needed was fatness, as in an ultralisk. Just then, my 2 O'clock expansion is attacked and killed by a group of tanks and M&M's. Eep. I load up now 5 ultalisks, which are 5/3, and 12 or 16 hydras, and wait for my 12:00 expansion to be attacked. There it goes, its gone. I run into his main and drop my load, broodling'ing tanks and ensnaring Medamarines. He lifts of and runs...to where? I kill the rest of the left over buildings, losing an ultralisk and a few hydras. I reload, and am off. I see a blue smudge in the middle island. Ahhh. I drop, and he cancel's the 2 turrets he was making, and lifts off to run. Scourge from home, combined with hydras spines, smash into the CC.
The End Game
His expansion clearing force siege's up my ramp. The only tank is broodlinged, and the M&M's are ensnared and ran at by ultras and cracklings. I load up my forces at 12:00 and head dowwards, where his buildings were fleeing. Ahh. 6:00. I drop and clear a few scv's and buildings, and offer an Allinance.
Thanks a lot for all the tips I recieved on killing M&M's from fellow Zergies, it really helped me, as you can see.
Lessons:
Ultras own all infantry, except for stimmed bats. (Right Bob_The_Newt?) Hehe.
Queens are a pain for Terran's because of broodling and ensnare.
For zerg, expand early on that map. Everyone seems to concentrate on your main.
Enjoy the pics,

D-Day at the Terran Stronghold
My ultras and hydras look happy after removing the 12:00 expansion...
While he removes my 2 expansions.
My troops land admist scattered buildings at 12:00
