VITAL INFORMATION
MAP: Dire Straits
Straz2 (me) top right position, Protoss.
Newbie#1: top left position, Protoss, Purple
Newbie#2: bottom left, Terran, white
We built a pylon on ourr eigth probe, followed by a forge, and gateway, and an assimilater. We built a few zealots for defence. We soon teched up to reavers, scouting Purple with an empty shuttle. He had done the imfamous Dark Archon rush. Which proved to be no match for our 3 reavers and 2 zealots that soon were trashing his base.
He asked us to leave him 1 building, and we chose the shield battery. Since we wanted to expand to one of the resource rich middle islands we flaoted a shuttle over. It was shot down by a wall of 12 photon cannons. Bean_gessirit, who had been playing up until now dropped several reavers and some zealots, supported by some scouts. He lost one reaver, while evantually wiping out the base. We found out however, that he had allied with white, when a battlecruiser came to try and save him. We expanded to the island between out main and Purples old main. We knew we would need lots of resources to defeat our 2 enemies. From these battles we knew Purple was a newbie, and we soon found that to be the same for White in a battle for an expansion they had built together. In this picture our Scouts destroy the base.
White attempted to save it with dropships, but they carrierd only firebats and medics. Unfortunate for him he hadnt releized the half a dozen scouts. Emmidatly we went to destroy his drop ships and then massacred the medics and firebats. Shortly then after the base was completly empty except for a scragling observer left there.
Almmost emmidatly after we had destroyed there base one of our many expansions was attacked by aproxmatly 5 of purples carriers. We gatherd our scouts now at atleast a dozen and destroyed a carrier and driving them away back to there turtled base.
We wondered where they had the money to finace a carrier campaign, and sent obsevers all arond the map. We found a purple abse where his main used to be, with Terran buildings, indicating he had used mind control. We destoyed it with 2 reavers and a few scouts, and set an observer and set up cannons. Of the 10 islands on the map we had cannons on 7. We wanted to find a fun way to destroy them, and opted on a scout/dt/dark archon recall in the back of the base. We put up five gatewys to Aiur, a few more starports, a 3rd robo facility and nexus and assimilaters all over the map.
While this had happened white had attempted to expand to the bottom right, AGAIN. We destroyed 5 turrets, a cc, 2 barracks, 2 dropships full of medics and firebats, amd plenty of SCV, with the loss of 1 zealot. We now had completey sealed off the map.
8 or so carriers left to attack my expansion, which were defeated in less than 30 seconds by our scout fleet. White tried somewhere else, with 1 valkerie, 2 BC, and some Warith. We destroyed it easily, and decided our recall was ready. We snuck around and dismembered the Terran/Protoss base with Dar Templar, ignoring the pleas of the two whiny players to ally. One was eliminated, and we hunted down the cc of the last newbie.
