Early Game
The Imbalanced Humans that I selected to lead landed their Command Center at the top Start Location. The Furious Zerg Swarm spawned it’s Hatchery in at the bottom Start Location with lukeyduke as their commander.
Knowing the map quite well I chose a rather generic strategy: Double Factory Cliffing. My 8th Space Construction Vehicle was ordered to construct a supply depot and as soon as that was done, a refinery. 3 SCV’s were transferred to the refinery to begin to harvest the essential Vespene Gas as a Barracks was also hastily plopped down.
"Your forces are under attack!"
I saw that 6 eViL zerglings were pounding on my SCV. I ran my SCV away and down to the enemy base. It took me a while to realize what this strategist was doing. I saw a Spawning Pool, 2 drones mining, and 1 drone harvesting Vespene Gas.
And now it dawned upon me, I was being 4 pooled! I had no defenses at my base, but I did have 2 Factories. I queued up 2 Vultures and 2 Marines. The eViL zerglings arrived just as my speedy vulture popped out. With clever Micromanagement on my part I was able to defeat the lings with zero losses. The Zerglings targeted one of the Vultures, which I ran around in circles while my second Vulture and my Terran Marine targeted the Zerglings with their ranged Weapons. Muahahaha!
I am now congratulated by my fearsome opponent on my ability to tech so much and still survive a 4 pool on a 64x198 map. I give my thanks to the kind sir and tip my hat in gratitude.
Mid-Game
My speedy Vulture is sent back down the Zerg’s base and I gather in some valuable information before 6-8 Zerglings annihilated my Vulture. My worthy opponent now has 3, count them, 3 drones mining minerals but still only 1 drone harvesting the precious Vespene Gas. But, *GASP*, he does have a Hydralisk Den. Fear is struck into my heart.
My intelligent friend, not grasping the concept of "recon", thinks I am trying to attack him with my Vulture. This small conversation takes place:
As you can see, I am hurt by the "failure" of this "attack".
The End Game
My tanks are finished at about the same time as my Dropship and they are sent on a mission, a mission to ledge.
Despite increased efforts to jump onto the cliff by the Zerglings every Zerg unit is still perished in this one sided battle. A squadron of 8 Vultures are sent to finish demolishing the Zerg Main Base.
Apparently, I am victorious. Lukyduke left the battlefield without a “gg”.
