For future reference my name on bnet is WLP_Jefe.

Simple enough, right?

Note: I would have played by now but my mom took away my computer.

For no reason at all.

Anyone here a fan of RPG maps?  Isamil and I were playing Forgotten Caves of Lythia by our twosies after Diablus and Otto quit, and we were wondering if anyone else wanted to play with us next time we tried to tackle it.

Starcraft does have strategy, every unit has a counter and that unit has a counter and so on. Mass attacks don't always work cause there's always a way to counter something in starcraft.
That's not strategy, not at all, that's just game balance. There's actually not that much strategy in starcraft, not as much as there could be at least. Arbiters requires strategy. Bunkers full of marines shooting zerglings isn't strategy. It's hard to explain, so I'll say it how I do best: if you think simple balance is stragety, you're stupid.

But those 20 archers all use up food supply, which is already much lower in WC3 than in Starcraft, and you have to pay the upkeep cost. And aside from the fact that Heros aren't meant to be their own armies, they're used in conjunction with your army to get a bit of an edge.
So what you're saying is that sophisticated, advanced units don't matter. All that matters is mass. Couldn't agree more. The good ol' "kekeke zerg rush ^____________^" is alive and well. He who wins is he who has the bigger army in shorter time. That may be strategy, but not tactics. And frankly, tactics are more fun. Gimme Myth any day.

Take my semi-bro: Unbeatable in Starcraft, which is why I rarely played against him. He didn't go for early rushes, but climbed the tech tree as fast as he could, then set up unbeatable unit combos. Until I did a kekeke zerg rush ^________________^ on him. He had no chance at all. Give me Myth with its fixed amount of units, the lack of a base and the comfortably paced, extra-tactical gameplay any day. If I want to play "economy management", I'll take Sim City instead.

Gotta run, it's full of Daewoos outside.

Anark, the nice thing of the name "Isamil", is its universal.  If you find someone named Isamil in some game somewhere, chances are its me.

Nah, just turned out to be the korean mafia. Seems they didn't agree with my sentiments on Starcraft. Nothing bad, had a little chat, exchanged opinions, all in good spirit. The doctor says he can put my kneecaps back on, provided I can find them.

The chance of someone called "lolfighter" being me is pretty high, too. One of the advantages of this nick is that it's so ridiculous, people can't make themselves plagiarize it.

YUS!

Mech Commander, and the Total War series did this too. Tactical control of units wins the game, and the smarter man prevails. Death to the tank rush.
