Multiplayer tips

Hey y'all. I'm asking for advice on the map "Big Game Hunters".
I'm going to be playing a small tournament today, probably a 2v2 or 3v3. I'm an intermediate player of the game, but I mainly play Lost Temple... I have absolutely no idea how to play BGH...
So, anyone got any tips? I consider my best race as Terrans and will probably be going for my usual Marine Drops at Mineral Spots... would this tactic work on this map? It works on Lost Temple fine, but I understand how terrain and different resources can drastically affect what tactics should be used.
So yeah, any help would be greatly appreciated. =D
Thanks in advance, y'all!

siege tanks firing across the water borders are always good for big game hunter

 

Water borders?
Hmm... I want to get an idea of the layout of the map...
Does anyone know what folder the map can be found?
I want to open it up in StarEdit and check it out.

in Big Game Hunters, most of the bodies of water that divide the bases are VERY NARROW
you can literally fire across the water from ur base into ur enemy's base using siege tank.
sometimes i tank push across the water, line my tanks along the edge of the water with wraiths as back up. then drop tanks on the other side of the water into the enemy's base.

Sometimes the water borders are so narrow that i can launch a nuke from my base to my enemy's base

 

Ok, so I just reccently started playing multiplayer, so obviously, I'm bad. So I'm asking if anyone here has any tips on a Terran/Protoss user (mostly Terran) such as myself. The help would be greatly appreaciated 

 

Hm... go to replays.net, and find yourself some nice pro replays. That will teach you the most popular unit combinations for all the match ups. Other than that, make sure you scout, after you learn every unit combination and possible counters, all you need to do is know which you're facing and build accordingly.

 

Make sure you build lots of workers. When you think you have too many, build a few more. Defend your workers over everything else. Your workers on your minerals are the heart of your base. They're easy to kill and cost a lot for the HP they have, so make them run away if anything serious attacks.

 

First off, what types of maps do you play? Money (Fastest, Zero Clutter, etc. etc.) or non-money (Blizzard maps and the like?)

 

I like playing non-money maps. Another thing is, I have trouble getting things up fast...can you guys also help me learn a few ways to get stuff done faster and money efficiently?

 

If you play on a map with a choke point.. you gotta block it..

if someone sees that you arent blocking your choke point.. they will just attack you and go for your worker and ignore the rest.. this kind of attack will totally paralize you..

try to always be at zero mineral and zero vespene gas.. this means.. always use your ressources.. build units, build more buildings.. all the time.. when you attack, try to remember to build more units in ur buildings.. if you have a lot of ressources, explanding is a good idea.. and/or get more buildings that produce units.. to build more units..

hmm but.. don't you think this topic goes in starcraft 1 discussions?

 

Another thing I'm wondering if i can get help on are some good ways to micromanage. Btw, thx for this, this is really helping a lot

Hehe, I just put it under strategies because I guess we sorta are talking strategy, but i didn't really think about it

 

I see you use terrans, micro micro micro. You cant get the best cost-profit margin using the terrans without appropiate mirco.

 

See, that's my main problem...I have trouble microing. And I'm also lookin into Protoss on top of the Terran....I can't play Zerg

 

you should become very diverse. play zerg. they you'll learn the weaknesses, so when you play zerg, you own them

 

I just really don't like playing zerg....I disliked doing the campaigns and everything. *shrug* I'm willing to give it a shot though....but im still either a terran or a toss man ^_^

 

i am saying play them a few times. you will prob lose. who cares. at least you will learn how to exploit the weaknesses of the zerg so you can use that aginst any zerg player when you play terran or toss.

 

keep building SCVs. make lots and lots of SCVs. Once they are full on the minerals and gas at your main its time to be expanding. So keep making those SCVs.

 

Alright, I'll play the zerg a couple of times, hell, maybe i'll even grow to like em Thx for all the help guys, this is greatly appreaciated. Like I said, I'm also lookin into both Terran and Protoss, so keep em rollin, and hey, if you're a zerg player, nothing wrong with some Zerg advice also

 

go kick ass :good:

 

I've officially made this my inquiry topic where I'm just gonna post my different strategy questions on here

One more thing, how do Protoss defend against Siege Tanks?
