Starcraft

[damunzy]

Thanks for the post No.Dice, I learned a lot just from reading it. I like the metal terran strat....using vulchers now seems to be worth while. I started out playing Terran but later changed to Protoss and picked up some skill with Zerg b/c those races seem to need less micromanaging.

Of course I am a meger 950 average ladder player but back in the day I could get up to 1100. We are talking original starcraft, not broodwar, ladder.

A small advertisement and reminder directed at all Starcraft players here at CFC!

Come over to Gamecatcher and join our own Starcraft tournament, played over Battle.net.
We are always open for new players and don´t worry, we are no pro´s ourselves. We play for fun and have both a GLOBAL and MONTHLY ranking.
So register now and start to play!

The StarCraft tourny at GC seems dead.

 

[Sodapop]

I'm going to play you and completely destroy you PH. I'll bring the tournament alive with my great performances... (in 2 weeks when school is out)

 

[Lucky]

Well, I won the last month, but now everyone seems to be afraid due to my great performances!
j/k

We still need more players though, but there are always people ready to take a challenge (PH76, Us, me, Ohwell).

So it´s not dead, just resting!

 

[damunzy]

We must play a gain Lucky...and the next time I must not get Terrans!!! That is what I hate about the tourny....when are we goign to get rid of random races? Damn terrans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..!!!!

3500th post!!

 

[Lucky]

Simply because you are just an incomplete () player will not urge us to change the rules!
j/k

Concentrating on one race and/or one strategy takes away much of the strategic elements of the game. I have won with all 3 races, so it is possible.

We will play again, as soon as I find some time. Maybe this weekend or even tonight.
And next week we might even be able to arrange the first tourney game against Unknown soldier and his partner.


P.S.: SPAMMER!

Incredible, people are still quarelling at SC while War3 is about to be released. Plus, there's also TA, Earth 2150, Ground control, conflict zone and metal fatigue...
Granted I've never denied it's a great game, but hey, change from times to times. That doesn't hurt

 

[Lucky]

SC is still the very best in RTS games!
No other game had such great replayability, great background story and working MP mode.

I'll change, don't worry.
When SC 2 comes out in a few years!

 

[GenghisK]

Diablo too has a damn good replayability Ah yes it's almost a RTS

 

[Sodapop]

Starcraft just have this... little something that keeps you addicted... Like civ... I don't think I'm going to be hook on warcraft3 as much as starcraft... The sci-fi look of the game added to the great storyline, I agree with lucky it's not going to be beaten until starcraft2... The sci-fi just give something more than medieval

 

[damunzy]

Agreed SC2 is what I am waiting for....although RoN might be a replacement....I hear that Emp Earth is good also.
Back to SC tourny....yeah, but I only lost to you when I had the Terrans.

 

[Sodapop]

PH, Emp earth is kind of good yes... But you said a couple of times you didn't like AOE because it destroyed your starcraft capabilities... You're going to suffer the same thing with E.E. Anyway, it's pretty much like AOE, except you can get to futurist units... Every civs have all the same units, except for some upgrades the player can choose... But that's still far from having complete different unit trees for each race...

 

[GenghisK]

AOE sucks hard, EE too
Try battle realms. With a maximum of 30 units you'll have to do choose between some cruel dilemna. And that's really incredibly deep in possible strategy.

 

[Sodapop]

30 units Not enough for me... But starcraft is incredibly deep in possible strategy too

 

[GenghisK]

Justement, it's because of those 30 units that you'll have to choose between a weak peasant army (fast development but no more support for a Grande Armee) or a slow hence dangerous development but then with a stronger force... really tricky and it's much more strategic than a limit of 200 where a minor management error is not inevitably leading to death...

Max of 30? Sounds lame.

 

[GenghisK]

"Sounds" indeed. Once you tried it... mm you'll be hypnotized, saying and blaming the other game programmers wth didn't they think about that earlier. Yeah I was quite surprised before trying the game but well, you can always read some online reviews about that game. They're all on the same side. This game is awesome. Plus the main designer worked for the C&C saga, which is quite famous for being well balanced (at least the 1st C&C, not red alert though)

I think it's like TA. At first look you may think damn damn damn, there is a huge mess of units, but finally it's pretty addictive too, although it's much "colder" than SC.

 

[insanewarrior]

SC will never beat Aoe, Aok, or especially the new Age of Mithology. Those guis at Ensemble Studios just keep kranking un those Age games in a frenzy. All those who think different beware! I am also a master of SC.

Quote from before: "MUHAHAHAHAA !!!"

 

[damunzy]

Well, everyone is allowed to have their own opinion, insanewarrior, even if it is wrong.

And I don't like what they have done with WC3 with their reduced amount of units and I hated TA....so that doesn't make me want to play Battle Realms anymore....actually less now!
