Who would you like to mind control?

If you´re playing with protoss and you have enough minerals and gas to start up with a new race,,, wuld you prefer to control SCv´s or Drone´s??? Fact of the matter,,, which can be better ally to protoss and why? >

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

Oh man this is a great idea for a thread, owerup:

Ok let's see...if you were facing Zerg as the bigger threat, I would go for Terran, because you can use Siege Tanks to protect your base, and right behind the siege tanks, place reavers, to kill any zerglings that might overwhelm and get too close. You could throw in a few HTs for good measure in there as well. Science vessels and irradiate would work very well too, of course, to break up those large Zerg forces. Medics can heal any damage under the shields Marines and zealots would be great, a combination of great melee and range basic units. And what about cloaking your tank blockades with an arbiter?! Would that be crazy or what?

If you were facing Terran as a bigger threat, Zerg would be my choice. Guardians for taking out the siege tank blockades and corsairs to back them up. I think that would be a crazy combination. Also, Zerg have detectors that are much more easy to maintain and produce. Zerglings/ultralisks could be sent in first to detract fire from siege tanks while zealots come second. Hydralisks would work well with zealots, similarly to marines. And how about an Infested Terran recall? Recall, burrow, then wait until the arbiter dies. Attack from the front, then unburrow your forces at the CC! How about plague, ensnare, and psi storm together? Haven't you always wished you could psi storm that group of 24 plagued BCs before they get away? And plague for those annoying science vessels sounds good too!

If you get Zerg vs a Zerg, recall a small defensive force while you pop a nydus canal up!

The possibilities are endless!

Id like to mind control Pamela Anderson.

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

i would go for zerg. dt+swarm+ultra=ownage

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

agree with nikzad vs powerful zerg with terran players ingame:
ahahahaha medic + arbiters
ahahahaha medics + lots + rines
ahahahaha halucination + bcs (unless plague =/)
ahahahaha recall + terran (terranss kill so fast it =D)

vs terran with zerg players ingame:
hydralisks/mutas + zealots = wow gg mecha
speedhydras + websairs = ^_^
cars + sairs + guards = ?

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

Well I wasn't describing an all-inclusive strategy, I was just highlighting the points that I thought would be extra awesome if they teamed up. It they came with guardians and devourers, I'd use corsairs and wraiths...I guess. I am so n00b hehe

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

Come on, mind controling workers is useless. First you have to get MC (high up the tech tree) and right after that, just work all your way up to the kind and ammount of units taht will be effective at that part of the game. Complete waste of time, plus extremely hard to do... Also MC a zerg and you will have to start a base elsewhere, since the creep wouldnt let you build in your main base if you zerged there.

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

hydralisks and marines aren't that far up, and they can be used at all stages of the game

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

have any of you guys actually tried a worker-mc-rush!? like dark archon + shuttle + zealot as meatshield while mc occurs. i think we should and see how well it pays off =D

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

that would probably be the most time-consuming rush ever...what's the goal? mc and multi-race? or sabotage their economy by taking 1 worker ;D?

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

lol. but you know what i mean by rush. ok it wont work without an expansion, so early game you need to cannon-choke on your expansion then expand. then prioritise teching and get your shutle + dark archon + mind control asap and gooo!!!

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

I usually end up getting both

but seeing how thats not an option guess ill go with the scv

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

i think the terran r better allies wen playing as the protoss for reasons like the 1s nikzad posted great job

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

I would mind-control a Medic

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

I would mind control Blizzard to give me the game early. ;D

 

Re: Who would you like to mind control????

i would go for zerg because they pwn

 

Terran, they work a little better in conjunction with the protoss since they don't have the creep. Although zerg would be a great help as well if you just build somewhere else, having an army of lots of little units from the zerg and big units from the protoss would be a big help. Imagine guardians and carriers attacking at once.

 

Imagine goons combined with vultuers and tanks plus a arbiter and a few HT.

 

Terran and protoss is a good combination im not shure about zerg coz of the creep part it always goes on its own

 

I would you like to mind control the Zerg because, they are very powerful against enemy buildings specialy when it comes to the Zerg unit Defiler, when you are controling the Protoss campaign and your enemies are the Terran Dominion, you can instantly destroy those Terrans bunker and Other buildings because of the, wait i forgot the name the one color Blood, that the Zerg Defiler Released..
