I was just playing and found that if you attack really early in the game against the computer with a builder you can lead every unit in their base on a chase around the map. they will never stop following you. with the workers gone their economy has stopped and you can build up at your leasuire. just gotta keep your worker moving. :cool:
Oohhhh!!! YOU MUST TRULY BE A GENIOUS!!! blah. Stupid noob :P. Probably you cannot win the computer without doing a stupid trick, which the computer cannot counter, or stop. You don't wanna learn if you do this, and you wont, if you do this. Why to do it then? No reason. Do you gain satisfaction by killing ONE computer on a way like that?

oh come on guys...the satisfaction for every individual's discovery is different...for ppl like us, we seek it in defeating stronger sc players...for noobs..they're happy with their computer enemy...

OK, if your idea of fun is having your enemy chase your worker around the map, have the time of your life. Personally, I would have to be really bored to do that. But, at least your playing StarCraft and not Warcraft. Stupid orcs.

sad. lol.

Why don't you just offensive gas them? It'll accomplish the same thing, and it actually can be used against humans (PvT and it's devastating since without that early tank to stop the goons, you're screwed).

since when couldnt marines stop goons? i guess if ur gonna reply with zeals, i guess it may work, but with a blocked exit, it probably wont work as well

I'd hardly say they're screwed. You can just add a 2nd barracks or get a bunker on the cliff's edge or behind your wall-in.

exactly...that was what i meant, even so, goons take 4 hits to kill one marine...and with 3, 1 goon is in deep shit, multiply that number by 4, u get 12 marines owning 4 goons

How the hell are you suppose to do your trick??You will have to move your unit around and if you set patrol,it will be caught up as it will move backwards and killed. You will have a "super patrol" to do that. Runs from enemies.
There are always doodads.Your unit will come across them and it will have to turn and it will be caught up unless you have zerglings withthe speed upgrade.
There are also other players.Oh!Free kill.Wait.A worhtless grunt.
what's the use of doing this any way?I'd rather use a hack than do that stupid hing.

Gee, that would be difficult... With way points perhaps? (Yeah, that shift-click thingy.) :rolleyes:
/me n' winks sayin' that the game manual wasn't made to only see dust settling*

How about crippling the foe's economy, hmm? It's sorta a common used tactic between some (good human) players, altough not a very effective one if that other guy/gal is payin' attention (and know how to easily counter it). And just for the record, I don't like it that much.
But against AI's, it's well...*errm* (plain) :lame:.
As for the hack bit... I won't even comment on it, since I don't usually advise anyone to get'em (for/with the cheatin' intent). :)

That hack thing is just a joke to show how bad and stupid this is.

Dandy, then. I just hope that the way point thingy helps out. ;)
