You could always go buy one for $20 or less. Were you spamming a channel, or running some sort of bot? That's usually the only reason they mute people.

get your friends on TeamSpeak then! The only problem then is that it becomes very difficult not say "Oh my god dude, you are SO screwed. Hope you have lots of Missile Turrets..."

Why would anybody need lots of missle turrets?

Or you could all die and let Starcraft die with you

Really, I thought my theme song was The Imperial March with a Rapist voice over
(Anyway, I'm partial to Hey, ho, let's go if we're talking about Ramone songs)

Actually, missile turrets blow versus carriers. Missile turrets will target the interceptors rather than the carriers, and since it's extremely difficult to micro-manage missile turrets, they are not an effective counter. The most effetive terran counter is Ghosts with lockdown and goliaths with the range upgrade.

Oh. Money-Maps suck. Just feel obliged to say that.

I perfer the good all powerful nuke to wipe out a carrier fleet... usually I have 2 or so bases anyway... I can do spare damage to one..

Of course, any half conscious player will move the carriers away...

Or even better, bring an observer and target the ghost.

Exactly. Missle turret and static defenses in general blow ass. I could destroy every single missle turrent you have with a single zerg gaurdian by out ranging them. I could destroy an entire fleet of carriers, or battle cruisers with 12 hydralisks 12 zerglings and and 2 defilers with no sweat at all. And by the time you could build a fleet of capital ships I could over run your bases with hydralisks and zerglings.

Capital ships suck. They can be destroyed easily by larger groups of lower tier units.
Static defenses suck. They can be out ranged by higher teir units our overwhelmed by large numbers of lower teir units.
Mind control sucks because dark archons only have 10hp left after casting it, so they'll only cast it once, and most of them will die to a large group of offensive units before you can cast mind control more than a few times. Now if you're playing against an idiot who builds nothing but capital ships, then it might be a viable tactic. Otherwise it's useless.

Oh yeah, and money maps suck too. :D

I usually mix my air forces up... using Arbs to cloak my ships and stasis enemy forces and Sairs to web the enemy ground defense... my ground forces usually aren't protoss... I usued a mind controled race for that, Terrans most usually, but zerg if i have to...

Well, I'm not going to turn this into a starcraft strategy debate (because there is none on money maps), but anybody who lets you get away with mind controling one of their workers and getting it out alive is an idiot, weather you play on money maps or not.

its ten bucks anywhere, and i agree with sputty, starcraft sucks.

Money maps as in Fastest Map Possible?

ChewyLSB
2004-04-24, 11:54 PM
Yeah, that's a money map. MOney maps have 50000 mineral deposits, and it's really really stupid. It basically eliminates strategy since you no longer have to expand.

starcraft and AOE are good games

AOE was awesome and I was its god, probably would still be playing it if I wasn't so lazy to get Conquerers. Celts :D.

SC was a great game but it's time to let go. Put me down for money-maps blow.

EDIT: We need to get a game going for the community here, for those without COD or BF:V...

AOE tourny for PSU?

And as for Starcraft, it's a good game.
