no worries

Detector units will tell you their detectors when you click on them, i think theres a bit of yellow text in the unit info part... or that could have just beenin SC1. but im sure it says! :)

yea, it's an 'eye' in the unit's abilities shown in the bottom right of the screen when you select it :)
 
ahhh cool

Man I really want to get back home and play some more :p After last night and seeing how much I have improved and actually winning a few games. It has deffo sparked my attention into it more :)

I did do a couple of 3v3s last night and did decide I dont actually like team games like that :p I prefer 1v1s so I can concentrate on my army and what I am doing.
 
^^3v3s are awesome, so much more fun imo then 1v1's - the massive battles, the glorious wins, the lols when things go horrendously wrong....its all fun with 3v3's.
1v1s are far to serious and rarely give you any real practice on expanding, fully teching/upgrading and proper ball counters.

You'll find that you will have good nights like this where everythign feels ace, and then you'll have nights where you just constantly lose, so in advance... this is normal ^^ its just one big learning curve! keep at it :)

Yeah it just depends what you want out of the game i guess! Personally i prefer 1v1, but i do occasionally do some 2v2's and 3v3's with friends n stuff, play as my off races. Its really good fun, especailly after a night of 1v1's, lets me test out new builds etc :)
Its just a nice wind down :)

Would be very much appreciated by me too :)

If you could add "1-1-1" to that I would appreciate it, have no idea what it means lol
Click to expand...

Of course. I'm in the process of making the mad list of stuff now! as you can see, work is very busy today, ahem.

1-1-1 means the Upgrades for units.. in this case, Protoss units

each number reprasents the different rating of:
Shield / Armour / Attack

you get your Upgrades from the Forge, so if you compare it to that it will make more sence :)

You may also see 2-2-2 or 3-3-3, or even a mixture of all of the numbers. :)

1-1-1 could also refer to terran's rax, factory, starport, expand build

And sometimes you can have both in one night... :-) I won about 12 games and lost about 6 games last night, 5 of them to you I think ;)

2. Scout usually after your first production building.

4. Dont worry about harassing to start with, you will beat the vast majority of players just by having solid macro until you hit plat or diamond.

This normally means by the time i get there vs Terran they have already finished their wall/started making the last depot so i cant get through.

I guess the only reason im not beating most people with decent macro is that i build the wrong units as i cant scout properly.

Generally I think it's wise to scout at 9 supply. He wont have walled in by then, unless the map is huge, and you can catch any whiff of cheese before it becomes ripe.
 
Ok will someone please tell me how the **** its possible to not get beaten vs protoss when he sends his probe to harass my svc's and then a zealot and theres nothing i can do. Everytime i tried to build a barracks my svc would get killed its impossible..

Okay, so a) he's built a pylon, gateway, zealot AND dragged his slow-lot-ass to your base. So if you do not have a barracks + at least one marine, there's something really wrong.

Post a replay of this game as I think if you're dying to this then there's some bigger problems.
 
Anyone trying the achievements? ive managed getting the insane AI outmatched: 2 ais vs me, but the 4v1 is looking impossible! anyone managed to do it?

If Terran has managed to wall off by this time then thier build order is totally broken so you should be able to own them. go for very early agression or tech.

attack his probe with an svc??
build rax complete wall in, zealots cost more than marines so you should easily be able to fend this early push??

i find its only when they 3/4 gate proxy push where you might aswell call it gg.

why? a wall off in most cases is a rax and 2 supply - nothing broken about that at all, you can maintain 10 suvs and still get all buildings up (or started) before the enemy scouts 50% of the time, its not uncommon at all.

By the time they have a zealot you should at the very very least have 1-2 marines.

either wall off using your barracks, or pull off your SCV's and wrap your marines with them so the zealot can't get to them :)

ITs very Supply depot heavy if they have managed to do this. It gives it away their their teching or powering up behind their wall. either way won't have many units. Counter appropriatly.

the 2nd depot doesnt come untill i have 16/17 supply. If you've not scouted them by then, Scout earlier. ive never had this problem scouting a Terran unless i've been half asleep, in which case its my own fault ^^

If their walling themselves in TvT then its near enough a free win if your going for the said 1-1-1 BO anyway.
Protoss get a very early scout with their 9 Pylon
Zerg scout early with their overlord/10 Drone.
