build 2 robotics bay, build 6 obsevers, build 10 stargate, build as much as carriers as possible[and all requirements needed to create this unit], build 12 arbiter[and all requirements needed to create this unit], then put them all very close, then send all of those units to the middle base of the enemy!!! lol, or if your on a mission,just go directly to the target[needed to be destroyed] and blow it up! thats all folks! lol. my friend tried that on starcraft[i got the idea from him] and blew my terran-protoss base apart![didnt have that much protection excpt for multiple phase cannons,bunkers[marines inside],misle turret. he also destroyed my friends zerg-terran base.[NOTE:i think the reason why he succeded was because that player left the game and the units and buildings were imobilized.] NOTE:this tactic is for starcraft 1 only! possible on starcraft 2. NOTE:this is a Defense strategy.
And while your wasting thousands and thousands of resources. What's defending your base? What's happening while you're building that?
Pretty much the oldest strategy in the game to mass carriers and arbiters, and if you pull it off you do win most of the time. But this isn't something you can do very easy and it's not a very good strategy if you're alone because what willy said, you don't have any defense because all your resources are going to it. So most of the time you need a partner to help keep you safe when you do something like this. If you don't have someone helping you it really is only effective if your opponent is incrediably slow (or you're really fast I guess), hates to attack, or turtles the whole match. Although if it's a very high resource map you could have a bunch of photon cannons to protect yourself but most normal matches won't have the resources to sustain such a thing with all the carriers and arbiters. Also if this is a attack strategy then why...
Lol good luck wasting minerals on Carriers and upgrades when I send a few Zealots and Dragoons to gg your whole base. This only works on money maps.
Exactly.. Or against a computer. You can't expect huge attacks, so you have plenty of time to build.. But I thought about it.. this mass of arbiters and carreers consumes nearly half an hour or more... No way the enemy lets you build that long. If you have your fisrt carreer ready you will have to bring it to a defensive position, you can't just seal it inside your base.
