This probably belongs in the link dump, but it's much better if you know about Starcraft.

The Happy Ultralisk

Wow. That's Fantastically done.

And also makes me wonder why the heck people dislike ultras so much. If you give them enough space to move around, they can kill a nigh infinite amount of units.

An infinite amount of units would burn an ultralisk's health down from range before he even attacked
:science:

Except if you burrow and lure them in with a few roaches.
:trickery:


Oh, and ultras, not ultra. You'll still need quite a bit of them, but a considerably less infinite amount.

I agree with MC. Plus they are so slow that not only do they take way more damage moving in but they also get kited. Damn Marauders. If you have an insane resource lead sometimes they (and Broodlords) are the only thing that can break a defense. But yeah that was the point of the story, that the Ultralisk was good all along and that he didn't even need a buff.

It reminds me a lot of the Roach which I use to think was complete trash that you only got if there were Reapers/Hellions or maybe as a thin crust on the edge of your Hydralisk pie but after the patch I realized they are actually completely legit. I open with a 5 Roach rush on every close spawn if I don't scout anything crazy. The only thing I don't like is that they are really slow without the upgrade, so they keep getting kited by Stalkers and they can't retreat for ♥♥♥♥.

What server are you guys on? We should play a game.

Areku isn't on our server sadly.

Fully armor upgraded ultralisks are pretty rape against unupgraded anything that isn't anti armor. A friend of mine has had a lot of success doing ultralisk rushes in 4v4. A bioball of fully upgraded ultralisks is pretty much impossible to take down without lots of hard counter

Well upgraded anything generally owns unupgraded anything but you are right. Yeah it's true that even just the Ultralisk specific armour upgrade makes a world of difference, I just thought it was funny. Generally I do get Ultralisks rather than Broodlords to break a turtle.

BTW have you guys seen the series between FoxeR (fake BoxeR) and Kyrix Zenith?

Essentially what happens is Foxer gets a tonne of Marines that Zenith responds to with Banelings, which he responds to with more Marines.

What, no Company of Heroes in the list? I'm kinda surprised.
Also, Age of Empires - The Conquerors, anyone? I'd love to play it sometimes.

IF anybody's got cnc3, theres a couple mods we could play.

Also Natti you should get tunngle if you wanna play aoe2.
Thats where i get my kicks in for that game.

I have tunngle, who's up for a game?
Though I'm not too good in AoE2.

Meh lets play then.

Maybe tomorrow as I'm going to watch this movie and sleep a bit.
I'll come to the drlchat irc channel tomorrow.
