but they have some cool stuff! did you know they have a dude and an anti-dude and the two can fuse to make a megadude?

also IIRC they have big ships that can do two things: summon tiny ships and die to Yamato beams

so, to sum up

the idea is that at the lower levels, protoss requires the least skill, maybe even at the higher levels too? easy macro, really sturdy units that you can a-move, etc. artosis hates protoss though, that's kind of his "thing"

if anything it's terrans who are easy to play. they come at me with a bunch of yamato beam ships and they shoot all my big ships and megadudes

okay I may be misremembering that, but that just means I'm not yet set in my ways and I have a heart of experimentation and childlike wonder

Write that down
YOU MAKE THE PLAY
There are twenty enemies 2 clicks from your base (they're zergs). You have a gaming mouse capable of 6 clicks per second, and you have several vespene gases. What is the most amount of enemies you can kill in the least amount of seconds?

I really dislike RTSes, I think Warcraft 3 may have been the only one I ever enjoyed (and only the campaign)

I have fond memories of being in high school and not knowing how to counter mass guardians.

i feel like if artosis were better then his dropship/m&m play would have put him at an advantage
and then if his opponent were better they would have just won after artosis' play fizzled, or would have handled artosis' wonky play
but instead we got this beautiful game

yeah, i also think if his opponent just put a reaver and an observer at every base, he would have won. reavers counter m&m with zero micro required

still a very entertaining game

khaos and I played this tonight and defeated our opponents in a 2v2 BGH match. it was fun. khaos survived a rush from protoss and zerg as i mindlessly macro’d up a billion marines (no medics because i don’t use hotkeys and it’s easier to stim them by themselves)

i just made them and a clicked them towards our opponents, and occasionally towards khaos’s base to help him. it worked! my plan b was teching to battlecruisers, another ape mode attack move unit

it was fun
