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.

    • Opinion. All you did was blame Democrats for everything. You offered nothing but a hit piece to support your pro Trump, anti union right wing ideology.
    • Excuse me for having an opinion, fella'... (Why am I not surprised?...) Congrats on your very informative post however...
    • By the sounds of that wall of Fox News propaganda gibberish attacking the Democratic Party you've already had plenty of "juices" flowing this morning. You've ruined what could have been a productive comment thread.
    • (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! * One additional problem corporations have that I also do not sympathize with is they don't want to pay to train their American employees. They could easily do so, but would rather not have to pay for it. I find that pathetic, actually. It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
