    Hello fellow earthlings! Lets brag about our victories or defeats(?) or just talk about tactics, because there are so many tactic threads this one may clean them up :)

    Just a question you who play terran how many scv's do you mostly have at a mineral field?

    I would say one of the funniest tactics that I have used was an early SCV rush with a couple of marines where I actually won. It was hilarious...I wonder if I still have the replay.

    Managing to fend off a huge Zergling rush with SCVs acting as shields for my three Marines.

    It was around there, I think maybe more.

    It was a 2v2 game, my partner had dropped, and the two guys were Zerg.

    You should have 2 workers a mineral patch, regardless of race.

    I once did a team melee, we had toss and terran, and we dropped about 15 nukes on one team at the same time. Which was one hell of a sight, raining nukes.

    Well, as a zerg player that's kinda tough in the early game. It's easier for a zerg player to expand than to actually maximize the resources on one base you already have.
    I ussually do a lil more than 1 per min patch, but expand really fast on early game

    At teir 1.5 yes, but only for that short stint, as soon as the zerg get lurks, or the toss get templar's (either kind works) then they don't anymore.

    Look at the massive amount losses I suffered. I lost my main and 3 expos, but ONE drone in the corner of the map, and my other expo saved me. I wasn't paying attention half the time though.

    Map: Loki
    Players: i.AM.a.HacKeR(Z) vs. ArvenHero(P)
    Winner: ME! (guess my username)

    WOW those cannons took FOREVER to kill.

    I'm actually i.AM.a.HacKeR. i stopped using that name though.

    HEY WTF!!!

    AND I HAD 10k MINERALS!

    (and yes, this is pretty much spam)

    Random Tactic - In a 2v1, WORKER RUSH!!!

    Random Tactic - In a 2v2, if both you AND your ally 6-pool or 9-pool and defeat ONE enemy, most likely, you WILL win.

    Random Tactic - Computers send ALL their current attacking units at your units if they attack a building, but the only way they will send workers if your attacking with a worker. They will only attack with the units stationed NEARBY.

    Every once in a while I will play a game against 7 comps, and try to do a worker steal as I call it. Just send out one probe, and attack a worker, then move on to the next comp. My goal is to try and get all the comps workers to follow the one probe, mostly because I think it would be funny to see that many workers chasing him. Sadly I haven't been able to do it, and probably never will. The 8 player maps are too big to get to every comp before the end ones get offensive units. It's a bit dumb but we all need goals right? ;)
