[quote who="Juggernaut10" reply="20" id="2171867"]@unknownx - Did you try researching the pop. cap upgrades? All races have them (I'm sure you know that). Yes but even maxxed terran planet supposrt slightly over 300 populations with all upgrades. That means you need around 20 to break 6000.
[quote who="Vespucci" reply="7" id="2170277"]Which weapon is it that looks like evil blue ghosts chasing down my ships? [/quote] My guess is Psionic Surge.
I have problem with Family planning. I can play a huge map, but AI would surrender before I get to 6000 population.
[quote who="InfiniteVoid" reply="8" id="2166403"]Their research rate increases by 33%, which translates to a 25% reduction in research time. [/quote] You are right, I always forgot to check the math.

What will happen if we discovered an insect like alien fighting a psionic alien? We will probably send n space marines. http://www.starcraft2.com/
I forgot to mention fast research (forgot the name). Basically Advent can research 33% faster than the other two races. That is a huge advantage.
Advent (the only thing they need is Missile Barrage). Progenitor let you expand fast and most cap ships work well together; they also level faster. Illuminator, Guardians, Carriers makes good fleet. Allure of unity + Resource focus + Induced Reverance gives crazy crystals and metal. Also has great defense with hangars and beam platforms.
That Battle report looks awesome.
How many carriers in the first photo? Locust swarm.
Some games are in store as well. I am wondering why would I download via impulse when I can get it from a store with box and extras for the same price?
I can't stand most of the crews on Voyager! Enterprise is better imo.
Mothership kicks butt against AI. Mothership should be the first Cap regardless if its AI or human opponents IMO.
[quote]in Brood war the zerg were way to good. [/quote] I think Protoss was way over powered.
Resident Evil 5 -I liked 3 and 4. Starcraft 2 -I really liked the first one, hope this is worth the wait. Sins expansion, Mass Effect 2, or Diablo 3. Whichever makes it in this year.
Stated in previous thread, MB radius is simply huge. They need to nerf that by at least 15%.
When you play Advent, get that Persuasive Offer. It helps. Regarless of faction, you can easily outbid the AI by using this method: When it says pirate swarm detetcted or whatever start counting. Do not bid till you count to about 15. Make sure your bids are higher once pass this point. If AI bids more, bid again to outbid him. If you bid too early, you are just wasting credits. Take some practice to get the timing down. Very useful a
It's around $50 preorder. Still expensive though.
Sigh they need to release SC2 now!!!!!! Or Diablo 3. One problem with Blizzard is that they usually release a game 2-3 years after estimated time.
Not just AI. Some stupid people are stubborn like that too.
Why not all three? That would make it vanilla, oh well.
Buy buy buy.
[quote who="HiddenMaster" reply="3" id="2151778"]I always hated the swarms, even when I used the strategy myself. Always a pain in the ass to fight off, and they just take the fun out of a fight if you watch your most powerful units get taken down by the pathetic things [/quote] Yes it seem unfair when your Siege tanks or Dragoons get taken down by Zerglings, but that is part of the game.
I rarely use those rush tactics, but I would like to see a game with more options. C&C and Starcraft has a lot of those harass tactics. A fodder class would be nice.
Oh yeah, SCV rush was funny and a good tactic for some maps.
I think they are missing little guys in this game. I want to swarm enemies with little guys like peasant rush in Praetorians. Scouts in this game is too weak, they are for scouting and detecting mines only. I want a ship about the same size as scouts but for combat purpose. Won't light frigate do? They cost a bit much not to mention the 4-6 slot they take up. Starcraft has zerglings and C&C has Combat bikes.
