I have Starcraft and broodwar, although I think my broodwar disk has gone missing, I used to play it years and years ago when I was at highschool - I seem to remember being ranked at one point - but I've not played it since then though, atleast 4-5 years ago now.

I've definately got the original disk, however I've moved house three times since I stopped playing it so finding the broodwar disk might be a little hard.

I might be interested in re-installing it and getting zerged to a bloody pulp like usual a little later on in the week though if there are still some FH people playing it

 

[Airwalker]

I'll be playing it for abit, just join my channel on SC BW, it is called daoc:worthy:

actually geniously master my own tactic called THE OVERLORD TACTIC, first you build as many zerglings you can have, then you wtf harvest all the resources you can and build overlords for all of em (need atleast 100+ overlords to be effective) and then load all the zerglings onto the overlords, fly all of the overlords over the enemy base, set em to drop off the zerglings in the base.

the overlord swarm (if you created enourgh) will make a cloud over the enemy base so he cant control his units and your zerglings will just attack on there own and rip the base apart so when he finally kills all the overlords he wont have a base left simple as that, its a bullet proofe tactic, only used it once tho

 

[Chronictank]

Original Starcraft is far superior to brood wars tbh

 

[Airwalker]

thanks for telling your tactic
I got some nasty tactics aswell...
playing toss/terran most...
quitted zerg after I saw albs xDDDDDD haha
what can I say siege tanks <3 goliath's, templars, and reavers, flank attacks,
zealot zerg rox aswell

 

[Forfid]

I played SC aswell, with broodwar..

i played the zerg that's why i started daoc in albion

zerg is cool because you can control the other 2 races with the queen.

strongly agree - its why I've never really felt the need to look for the broodwar disk

need atleast 100+ overlords to be effective

yea the mass zergling rush was kinda nasty, although not totally unbeatable imo hydralisk rushes supported by the guardian air-to-ground thingys used to get me alot though.

just one thing, its been a long while so things might have changed, but wasnt the original starcraft capped at 200 units? or 400 if you count the fact that you get 2 zerglings for 1 unitcount, again, if i'm remembering right, its been a few years

 

[Airwalker]

queen can control others? thought it was only the the dark archon's(mindcontrol)

 

[Dukat]

he might mean through infesting the terran command center (or whatever it was called )

 

[Rhori]

protos for prez!! imo

be an protos and spam psion storm with highlords( think they was named that way) held of 2-3 attacks of hydralisks+mutalisks once on an lan with that great ability . got another wave of hydralisks one me after those attacks and died. my defenders had ran out of energy lol.

yeah your correct, 400 zerglings (if you dont have any workers that is) and since the overlords are actually your supply depot they dont cost any units counts to build only resources so that makes them excellent cannon fodder

and yeah i agree zerglings arnt the most effective weapon at the first glance, but imagion if you have ALOT of resources, and like 10-15 main bases (the ones with the 3 larve's around it) and just spits em out fully upgraded, they can wreck some serious havoc and its piss funny every single time you do it

drop them with adrenal glands in the back of someones base with some defilers spamming the cloud and you will notice

Ohhh I never knew that overlords did'nt increase your unit count, I knew they where the zerg version of terran supply depots, and I've seen them used a few times as APC's, but I agree, 100+ zerglings landing in the middle of your base, with hundreds of the overlords overhead to draw some of the attention, would really hurt, nice tactic

 

[Airwalker]

aye, infesting terran command center, can only build the infested terran tho...
