I neglected to take many screen shots in this game because myself and the two friends who played rarely finish a game - we save it and let it rot in our HDs. This one was different. I can't find the final score shots but they were quite impressive.
The Map: River War
The Players: Blackdog931 - Blue Zerg Chosen - Top Right
Biggyrob - Red Terran Chosen - Bottom Left
Bosconium238 - Orange Protoss Chosen - Mid Right
(See map at bottom - I think)
(Note: I used my Bosconuim238 account to play this game, because I don't care about my record for this account; I also don't have BW, just to let you know)
We started the game deciding that we were just going to fool around. I start with a pylon on 9 and a gate on 10, then and forge and some cannons. At this point everyone realizes that they are on islands - I put up a cyber core and robo facility and gather a goon and a shuttle and a probe and expand to the island above me, thento one on the upper right. I put up a second cyber core and 3 stargates. I also get an obeservatory and research observer speed.
I try to expand above my northernmost expansion and see a wall of spore colonies and back off. (Note: My two friends that I was playing with are the biggest turtles I have ever seen). I put up a beacon and research scout speed and warp in 3 scouts.
I expan to the top left giving me a total of 3 expansions mining. I gather 6 scouts when a good dozen guardians start bombing the defense at my northern expansion. I send in the scouts and kill off a few guardians before they draw my scouts into the spore fire , leaving me with only one. I send him to scout for Biggyrob and find him only to lose my scout to a wall of turrets. My I get 3 more stargates and start building carriers with capacity upgrades. I wait until they are 3/1/1 and send them with a trio of observers at Biggyrob's base. The 10 or so carriers are joined by a few scouts and begin the assault. I kill his wall of cannons and find that he has one of each buidling, i retreat to recharge my sheilds and out comes his fleet - 12 wraiths and 3 bc's. The wraiths cloak and begin attacking my most battered carriers.
My observers are farther ahead of my carriers and have to retreat back to detect the menace. The scouts deal with the wraiths and the carriers finish off the bc's. At this point I now have 5 expansions when a few wraiths begin harassing my nexus at my newest exp. I swat the annoying wraiths and see that one of my expansions has gone down from Blackdog's guardian fire around the same time.
Current situation - Bosconium238 - mid right - mined out
middle - just started
top left - almost out
top/mid right - low
mid left - new
- Blackdog931 - top right - not sure
- Biggyrob - bottom left - not sure
I assault Biggyrob with my fleet and he is forced to lift off - he leaves a few seconds later.
Now my attention is on Blackdog931, he has most likely expanded to the top middle island which I lost to his guardians - I'm guessing that his main is tapped out so I begin an assalut on his exp. he has a sunken, a spore, and around 5 or 6 muties. I finish off his expansion and begin on his main, the fleet decimates all but a few spores and a defiler mound, I leave him alone and begin recharging my sheilds.
"finish me off" - Blackdog931
"what?" - me
"finish me off" - Blackdog931
"uh..ok" - me
I move my carriers back in and attack only to find that he has a half dozen hydras and cracklings attacking his own structures.
"WTF are you doing" - me
Blackdog931 has been eliminated
The victory screen pops up. I chatted w/ Blackdog afterwards and he said that he didn't have enough left to rebuild or put up a good fight so he killed himself.
