I thought there was only one mission.. :s.. it's too late now (I think.. I'm on

Char

already).

Too late then :p .

Scirwode

so zerg players, whats your initial build orders?

10 - Ovie

10 - Extractor

10 - Cancel extractor (this is called Overpooling)

14 - Spawning Pool

14 - Extractor

16 - Ovie

As soon as extractor is done, move three drones to it

16 - Queen -> Inject Larvae big time

18 - Zerglings

Get ling speed as soon as you have 100 gas.

From then on it varies. I often move the gas drones back to mineral once I have ling speed, mass some lings and take map control with that. Then I evaluate what my opponent is doing and I plan the rest accordingly.

I'm not satisfied with it though, because the 16 Ovie arrives a bit late and I have a larva sitting there for a few seconds. Should probably be built at 15 instead.

Against Very Hard computer, just keep massing as many lings as possible (you need another hatchery + queen though - at some point you have too much money so it's a wise investement). Wait for initial push, destroy it easily (they are not expecting that many lings). Counter-attack asap. GG. Tested vs Terran, Protoss and Zerg on various 1vs1 maps, 100% win. Might not work on larger maps.

I might sound like I know what I'm doing but I'm really not. Against any semi-competent player I get crushed. I still don't even know all the tech trees by heart including zerg.

I have to say, the mission "Outbreak" freaking sucks. I spent a GOOD portion of my 7 hour "demo" playing it.

I nearly lost all my troops, floated my base up out of range, and ran around with medics with the advanced heals.

It was an army of about 25 people, and two Hammer units.

It was CRAZY difficult, even on normal for me, because as I said, the whole thing just nearly decimated me.

I really, really wish I had money for this. :(

I just had a bunch of bunkers with firebats and marines.. then I had one or 2 of the flame turrets with them. Also had an scv there as well. One of the easiest missions I'd say. Now, I'm still trying to figure out 'All In'... any tips anyone? I keep getting swarmed

I completed it by building lots and lots of fully upgraded siege tanks combined with bunkers filled with marines and some scvs around to repair them. The flame turrets also work great. :)

Are we talking about the 3rd(?) mission where the game introduces you to bunkers that you have to defend for 20 minutes? with the massive zerg attack around 1:30 left?

No I think they are talking about the mission where you destroy a infested city with fast night/day cycles because you don't get siege tanks in the bunker intro level.

Nope, it's not.. I don't want to spoil anything else.. so I don't want to say too much.

    • Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.
    • It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
