Author : Alleji Update: First of all, thanks for all the suggestions and requests and general attention this thread received. I'm glad this guide helped so many people with their campaign :) A lot of you asked me to post tips on missions not included here or suggested alternative strategies. I did my best, but unfortunately I can't add much because each post has a 5000 character limit :( Also, the posts don't seem to display properly for me. The [list] tags are gone and some other stuff. Sorry! It's not me, it's the forums being buggy. I tried to make this as readable as possible.

A lot of people seem to be having issues with the 5 sec lag spikes, dropouts and mid-game freezes among other things so I've put together an unofficial compilation of information on how to ensure your network is best configured for Starcraft II online play. I take no credit for the guides I link to, only this little goto post which I hope helps some of you fix your SCII issues. :)

We've been reading over the questions that you have been posting and the development team has taken some time to provide answers to some of these below. Q. (Robbepop) Do you plan to integrate add event functions for the gui? At the moment you have to use ugly custom script code in a gui trigger to make dynamic events for triggers - that's something you could improve for the galaxy gui. Are there any plans that you will add features to make variable array lengths dependent on constant integer variables? A. We would like to support adding dynamic events through the GUI as well as array sizes based on constant variables. Q. (Goa) Is it possible that in the future you will add a trigger, which will able to tell what time did the map started (year month day hour). It will enable map makers to make "real real time" maps. It would enable to make a whole new type of maps, kind of like those browser based mmorpgs, which are really popular now days. A. We will look into expos...

This is some quick guide. For a Newbie player who cant get out Bronze league. Im not a diamond myself, but for most people they just love this game but can't be a decent player. if you want to get silver or gold try some of these guide its from my own exprience. now sit back and relax my friend.

A tightly done build order vs. Terran and Harrasment Part 2 Okey so I'm not blind, I've seen the threads on the forum about Terran being OP and so forth. What those threads lack is ANY discussion to what to do against a Terran, its just rubbish trash talk to each other which might strengthen your internet peen a bit but does not help anyone being better at beating Terran. I won't take a discussion in this thread about whether Terran is OP or not, I don't want you to start flaming about this either in here. Now I have a good friend who play Terran and we have practice a lot against each other over the last weeks and days just to see how OP Terran is. I'd say we are both at the same level, so it isn't Diamond Protoss against Bronze Terran.

For this part i will talk about four things, that might not be so basic and actually is kind of a intermediate level of play but still touches everyone in almost all games and match ups. The first thing i want to write about is: First and Early aggressions We have all been here, we have built up a force and thinking "okey, okey... i got this army.... what do I do?"

After seeing a lot of thread here on the forum that surely are related to basics about RTS I feel that I want to write this posts and I really hope that this thread will help alot of strugeling protoss that feel that they are lacking in some games but can't pin-point what they are lacking in. So when you are reading this thread I assume you have chosen protoss (or atleast is strugeling with protoss when you play random and get that race) so... Ye won't write about any other race, but almost all of what I will write here will fit into both the other races too.

I was giving a lot of thought into it lately, and I couldn't find a satisfying answer as to why the Zerg have to choose well-balanced armies and a variety of units to beat even their "hard counters". (examples: It is way better to go Roaches/Hydras than mass Hydras against mass Stalkers, even though Roaches aren't the optimal counter. Also, The popular build of Slings/Blings/Mutas works a LOT better than pure Slings/Blings even if your enemy is going mass marines and marines alone, which doesn't make sense. You'll still win with banelings alone, but with mutas it seems to work even better). Why does this happen? Zerg units don't have forced synergies, like MMM (anti air/light + anti armor/building + heals). And many will say that in some builds Roaches and Lings are used as meatwalls, but why the heck does Infestor/Lings/Hydras/Roaches/Ultras work soooo much better against Mass Stalkers than lets say pure Infestor/Ultras?? On paper, it is the optimal count...

Now before my computer was corrupted by a Virus I came up with an idea of a tournament you can do yourself or with with a friend, it's verses AI and Recommend it in Custom games, now it consists of 22 games were they gradually increment in difficulty as well their is a story melded into it as I will explain the guide lines and verses so I appreciate if you'd hear me out, I"ll explain this as if it was 1 Player but a 2nd player could take the place of you AI Partner, make sure they use the same Race the AI was chosen.

Hello everyone, I have notice a lot of the newer players finding some difficulty in their match ups and engagements when it comes to playing in the multiplayer match up or even facing a computer AI. I'm not a top top player but i have my fair share of beta and starcraft 2 knowledge. I only play Protoss in 1v1s so it may or may not apply to you. I would be regularly updating this thrend so please check back for updates.

Ensabanur is pretty much right on with what you want to do for the most part, however there are even more options, I'll detail a few: Against m&m: If it's more 'rauder heavy, zealots and sentries work fantastically early on as forcefield allows zealots to get in range and do damage. Void rays are another option to delay the Terran push and keep him in his base while you build up a force/expand

At start, salvage that 2 bunkers at the bridge, you're going to hold your defense at the your base ramp Spam m&m, I went 4 barracks, 2 with reactor, don't need to build any bunker / turret. At 11-10 minutes mark, gather all your troops push through the left exit and go all the way up straight to the top, you'll find 2 hatchery there, kill it, then retreat your troops back to your base, I did it with about 50 m&m, but I didn't make it out alive all the way back to my base. At 3 minutes mark, gather all your troops again, and push through the extact same location, they should rebuild the hatchery already, kill it, done, even if you fail the mission, you still get the achievement, you can float your CC and fly away and win like a coward.

I found this in the US forum. I don't know if it's legal or not, but credit goes to MrMrCmmndsU for this guide: This guide will also count on your opponent being the general high-division Terran player--the one that does the predictable build orders of TvZ and A-moves his deathball into your base and expects to win because of the supposed cost-effectiveness of Terran units. In short, your average Terran player is not always going to be pro-level. He will be stupid. And we will take advantage of that. I will also be assuming you know how to handle your macro (spawn larva, spread creep). But even if it's not perfect, you should still do fine--your opponent is not perfect either.

This guide is for those who are currenty tearing their hair out trying to complete this achievement. After countless retries I finally found a build that works after reading through various forums etc. Although getting the achievement seems very difficult, it is deceptively very easy to get. This guide assumes you are just going for the achievement and nothing else. This is my first guide and I'll explain what I did as best as I can.

ok so basically i played around with the inbase hatch late expo and found that it was working amazing, however something was missing. It allowed fast saturation of the main and high unit production. I believe MadFrog has found the build we have been praying for and im going to share this with everyone

Do you think this will work for you? If you're a Zerg or Terran player, share your thoughts/opinion here.

Here's a great list of Starcraft 2 Cheats Dance Party Select units and press Enter, then type the command /dance to make them dance. Currently this only seems to work with ground units. The list is:

Any StarCraft II veteran will know that a couple of High Templars can completely turn the tide of battle. It's also important to learn when you can't win. Protoss players ought to overlap their pylon fields where they are being used to power structures. Zerg players ought to simply center their defenses around their hatchery and resources.

These are some powerful Terran counters against Zerg opponents that will teach you how to deal with Zergs using your favorite units in group Terran and how to counter Zerg Mutalisks, Zergling Rush, and Roaches. Know some of the Starcraft II different strategies so you can be a successful Starcraft multi player with great understanding on how to use all the different units. Be successful by learning what units to make when an army of Void Rays is rushing your base and learn how to counter most popular builds and you will surely win more often.

There are certain rules you need to observe and follow on using Dark Templars rush to win against Zergs. Destroy the Hatchery so as not to let them create an Overseer Use at least 3 or more Dark Templars to overcome Lair before an Overseer exists. Overseer detects Dark Templars, so using them alone may not overthrow Zergs. Conduct a surprise attack and kill as many Drones as you can and destroy the Hatchery. Dark Templars need assistance from your regular units, they will certainly adds up to bring down Zergs economy.
