good work dd. This was actually a really good game, but you should have put in some pics or at least the replay :P

Poor Slippy. He made the classic mistake of letting a Toss get more than one expo and thus, he faced carriers.

What he SHOULD have done was scout more, scan, whatever. Then get ghosts.

Because lockdowned carriers are about as effective as a reaver with no scarabs -- sitting ducks.

Good report though. Little short, however. More details!

See you on battle.net.

6.5-7.0

Funny. I dont recall using carriers vs you after I had an expansion. =) Good game DD. Was very enjoyable and I'm sure somebody else will pick out your faults so I dont need to tell you. =)

7.5

Eldricth: I was well aware of what I was doing, I was just hellbent on giving DD a good game to BR and that's why I went BCs instead of wraiths or gols (even though I didn't know that carriers were coming at that specific time, how much brain power does it take to realise that they are coming at one point...), but I quickly realised that it was a horrible mistake since I've never done BC vs interceptor before, and, well, things just slipped out of my grasp. That's what you get for being born slippy, I guess. :/

Minimap updates are very important, even for matches on temple. Its hard to visualise how many expos are running on each side otherwise.

Good writing though. :D

Slippy: Ah well. Next time, then.

BCs vs Carriers usually tends to go to the Carriers, because they can be retreating and yet still attack, and they are faster than BCs so with good micro, they can kill BCs with few casualties. Of course, Yamato kind of equals that, but still. Ghosts, on the other hand, can neutralize Carriers with little or no difficulty, allowing units like Goliaths and Wraiths to simply destroy them.

I think that killing off his carrier fleet would have been plenty cool.

actually with yamato bc vs carrier fights tend to end up with bcs crushing carriers pretty badly.

7.5 please OK MAN
#19 EldritchEvil[148263]
nr11-216-196-191-169.fuse.net
Ace: It depends on the number of BCs versus Carriers. If it's equal numbers, and each BC can cast yamato then probably it'll go to the BCs. But if there are less BCs (and very often, there are) then it'll go to the Carriers. Ghosts are a better bet.
#20 TM[148264]
dialup-67.27.114.230.Dial1.Dallas1.Level3.net
Perhaps, but bcs are far harder to control around than carriers, and I think the advantage of carriers outweighs yamoto. It takes 2 yamotos to take out a carrier, and yamoto takes a god aweful long time to recharge. 12 carriers vs 12 bcs= 6 carriers vs 12 bcs, the carriers would still win with a competent player.

Actually Desert...

You could have posted the corrupt replay, as long as you sent us a link to download the old starcraft patch. I have it (get it off of SClegacy.com) and you can watch old replays well maintaining you current BW version. Doesn't take too long to DL also.

And Ghosts would be a good bet, if you had the excess gas to make ghosts + a butt load of wraiths to rape the locked down carriers. But heres a better idea:

Don't let them get Carriers to begin with ^_^. EXPO HARASS KAKAKA

the replay is 1.10, meaning 1.09 won't help T_T It was corrupted because of saving (I had to leave any times soon...)

Theorycraft is no fun.
#24 EldritchEvil:[148269]
nr11-216-196-187-39.fuse.net
TM: Yeah, that's why I suggested ghosts.

BlueRibbon: Who needs Wraiths? Goliaths do more damage and fire faster, as well as being considerably cheaper.

Of course, you try to only let them get 1 expo. But in the event that they slip one past you or they go straight to carriers, ghosts/goliath is the answer.

Nice BR, I still like pictures better anyway :)

Don't listen to people that tell you "pictures you put sucked and they were un-needed!", they're wrong. More picies next time ^.^

GJ again.

Nonono, you all got it wrong. Yamato those pesky interceptors so the carriers can't shoot you, THEN own them. BC powah! :-p

Defensive matrix on BC?
#28 Crazster[148282]

Emp on carriers?
#29 Crazster[148283]
pcd293101.netvigator.com
I like BC and SV vrs carriers because it's unexpected and hard to counter, i mean have you ever tried to take down 6 matrixed BC's? Of course toss owns man!
#30 EldritchEvil[148287]
nr11-216-196-189-20.fuse.net
If the toss lets you get 6 BCs and three SVs and yet only has 6 carrier, he deserves to lose.

That said, why isn't this rated yet?
#31 TM[148308]

Mass goon. Those bcs havent a chance. Theres a reason why you dont see pros using bc in tvp.
#32 BlueRibbon[148353]
host12.mvsd.com
Even 10 Carriers against 6 bcs and 4+ vessels, bc win. Too much Defense Matrix + EMP!!?! gagaagagagg Terran imbalance : }

A little clunky but not bad over all. The present tense stuff was kind of annoying.
