Modrakien had this to say about Robocop:
Sending 2 bazillions of anything into combat alone in SC is madness. 12 Carriers? Meet some ghosts a sci vessel and 3 scouts and they're toast. A million zerglings? 2 Templars wipe them. Siege tank rush? Watch 5 of any melee slaughter it. Now take 8 carriers + 4 zealots + 2 observers + 2 cougars and you've got a pretty effective force for the same price.
The man speaks the truth. Sending in a ton of 1 unit works against computer players, but try that against a human who knows what hes doing, and you're toast.
<builts a horrid army of zergs to munch upon all!> Viva la xenomorphs!!!

hYeah, Reynar's ALMOST right. You COULD do the crazy Zerg strategy where you get like 5 bases, ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK, AND MAKE HYDRALINGS UNTIL YOUR EYES BURST.
Works quite well a lot of the time.
This works only if you are playing on BGH or another map with infinite $$$ and the opponent is bad at positioning his defenses. Especially zealots with a speed upgrade can rip into a hydra-rush like there's no tomorrow.
You can't beat a halfway skilled SC player without a balanced force or some kind of trap/ambush. The most importatnt thing in SC next to building order is micromanaging your units fast (moving in and out of range, calculating speed differences....).

Yes, I did forget to mention the BGH ness of it.
Heh, Jalal d'Varr is the best example. He kept destryoing every strategy I had, until I used a nice dark-swarm/zergling strategy to take out his front line forces somewhat, then I brought the hydra heat. That was a good game.
That is the 2nd best part of Starcraft
he best part being every unit is just as useful or even more useful in the late game as they were in the early game
Yeah, any player that just uses one unit deserves to die. Just tanks is stupid, utterly stupid. Now, tanks supported with M&Ms, goliaths and either a sci vessel/comstat on the other hand
Zerg too, pure hydras is laughable, same with pure zerglings or pure mutas. Why? because the opponent, ESPECIALLY terran, can see it coming and build the counter. You need to use tactics to get around it. Nothing quite so warm and fuzzy as seeing 4 groups of mutas coming into the back of your base and suddenly they begin to light up with green all over, and POOF! all but like 3 die
Or my favorite, send 2 sci vessels over burrowed units or into harvesters, irradiate each other and sit over the units
Hilarious to do on mass drones
I practically never see zerg players use Dark Swarm or Plague, THE two single greatest counters to capital ships
BCs and Carriers ARE good when used properly.
A player sending carriers without corsairs is going to get owned seriously bad
Ever have a Disruption Web / Dark Swarm war? Hydras can't be hurt and hydras can't attack, heh

No, I just sent half my carriers and corsairs down to your base, being stupid as I was
And people dn't use Devourers enough. Devourers 1 queen with ensnare = you win VS air
A Battleceruiser's attack speed when it has ensare and 9 acid spores is best called 'Glacial'

For some reason I can't play Starcraft online because of my newer version of Windows. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so, do they know how to fix it?
