    You can pass 200 with mind-control, being given units by triggers, and by playing team games with two or more of the same race (800 supply worth of Battlecruisers is nothing to shake a stick at.) In the third situation, you aren't actually passing the unit cap, you just have a higher unit cap.

    One thing I haven't done, but know I could do, is control 200 nukes. One player can build 25 nukes with 200 supply, 8 players can build 200 nukes (1600 supply.) 200 is the upper limit for the number of nukes you can own without using triggers. Just have all 8 players max out on nukes, have all but one lift their CCs, and have that one player land several(175!) pre-built CCs next to their silos. They wouldn't be able to land and build more for the player to take because even though the silos were taken over, they are still responsible for supplying the nuke. Don't ask me why that's the case, it just is.

    Nikzad: the stasis wall thing is actually used by pros on choke points. They tend to use 2-4 units on a ramp or narrow spot as opposed to 6 in a wide open area. I've done it once or twice myself, and it annoys my enemies to no end when they can't get to my units.

    I've done quite a few things that take advantage of glitches. I have frozen a nuke in mid-air, created an Archon with a stasis field graphic attached to its body, while it is still able to move. I have separated units from their shadows, split Goliaths in two, created swarms of permanently-invisible Zerglings, and before the patch, floated High Templar into island bases and merged them into Archons upon arrival. I have seen the void between the stars! I have seen things your feeble minds would never comprehend!!

    ...At any rate, keep trying.

    If you build a nuke when you have max pop, it looks like a marine xD

    anyway, I've seen nukes killed...i have NO idea how...

    nahh. that would take a lot of time and money if you do it that way. there's a much easier way to reach 600/200 units or more.

    Re: are there things that you havent tried yet?

    The only thing that I've never tried is DA's malestorm. I've never ever used it before, I do sometimes use feedback and MC on BCs.

    Apart from that I've basically tried everything. I've even mined all the minerals and depleted all the geysers in Big Game Hunters. I left the game on while I sleep :p

    Re: are there things that you havent tried yet?

    Seriously? You've never used mael? It's easily the scariest of the Dark Archon's abilities! It is great for fighting huge masses of Zerg air: you Maelstrom the units with your DA, then bring in HTs and, while they're paralyzed, storm them into little bloody flecks of goo! Lather, rinse, repeat! It's practically unstoppable!

    It's also good for approaching(killing) groups of units in bite-sized morsels: Maelstrom half of the attacking Hydralisks while you kill the other half, then take down the Maelstrom'd group as the effect wears off.

    Use it on (non-Protoss) workers! Big clusters of them are suddenly immobile!

    Use it on morphing eggs! You can literally freeze your enemy's reinforcements while you continue to raze their base!

    Maelstrom is great, vastly underused.

    ---

    Oh, and I am going to give 1000 minerals to each posted StarCraft idea that I have never seen or done from now on. I'll be the judge of what qualifies. Try to hit me with something crazy!

    okay. i'll give you a question.

    max unit limit is 200 but you can still exceed the limit but up to a point. how many is that?

    lmao. if you can't answer this you should give me my prize. :D

    Re: are there things that you havent tried yet?

    its easy. the answer is 800 max pop. use team melle 1on1, and you and your opponoent gets 800 max cap. i like this kind of game ofcourse it should be played on unlimited minerals.

    ctrl 1 to ctrl 6 all carriers. gg

    wonder what unit limit you could reach if team melee + mc other two races? might even end up as "cannot create anymore units"

    Re: are there things that you havent tried yet?

    yah lets try to reach the max 800 units next time we play. i like this kind of game. i like massive wars. 8) but you were bored :-\

    hhmm i only had few carriers and arbiters on that game. my strategy was psionic storm to defend (yah, caught me suprise with your ultralisk and my templars was not enough), and recall all my archon to your base.

    hored of carriers plus archons plus templars. weeeee. d@mn devourers.

    Re: are there things that you havent tried yet?

    nah i was using all of them actually. most of them psi storm on the same spot. ofcourse they run out of energies too and i panic when i saw the ultralisk. hahah. i even forgot to combined them to archons for recall. and i lost control of my arbiters on crucial moments.

    kang min? so do professional games also include team melee 1on1 too (800 max)?

    oh no, what a waste. i always thought that enemies dies fast in multiple psi storm cast on the same spot.

    As Zerg, you can exceed the pop max by 200 by starting 200 buildings, building 200 more drones, then canceling the buildings.
