Running would be a good idea!

www.strategyplanet.com

(beware for pop-ups)

maybe read the Art of War

ah yes

all those quotes from shogun will finally play off

"When on surrounded ground plot, When on deadly ground fight"

and such

Sneaking a drone into the back of an enemy base as Zerg, putting up a Hatchery then a Nydus then attacking the enemy from behind can be fun, albeit a gimmicky tactic unless you can squash enough units through the canal to wipe them out in one strike or severely weaken them.

Just don't build the canal in proximity to a wall, having half your Hydralisk invasion force trapped between the canal and wall isn't funny

Also keep in mind that Nydus can be made on other peoples creep. Create a diversion somewhere on the map, then start building a Nydus canal exit right in their base...

zerg v zerg a zerglin rush with a sneaky sunken colony near drones is good

Speed!

The one thing that looses games for most people is not being quick enough. Scout your opponent and know what units will counter what. There's no secret to winning, just have a good knowledge of the game and be quick enough to excercise that knowledge.

With the terran have 2 groups of about 6 siege tanks and 1 group of about 7-8 goliaths. keep leap frogging the tanks in front of one another and have the goliaths close by for aerial defense.

OSiriS

Thats what guardians are for;P

Tails

well you could have a few wraiths, but usually with that tactic you can attack fast enough so they dont have that technology yet.

Funky

it 'might' be difficult to get 12 siege tanks and 8 goliaths quicker than a decent zerg player could get guardians

Tails

Well you wouldnt have them numbers, but you get my general idea for the tactic

Bunny

Get the latest version of starcraft..then watch replays (www.broodwar.co.yu) for the tactics. The main map that everyone still plays is Lost Temple. Basically you gotta scout early (your 7th or 8th drone) be offensive (attack with first units out) and expand. Games shouldn't really get to carriers and guardians.
There are too many tactics, but speed and aggression is best.

Well I played Warcraft II more but the same stuff transfered over easy enough(as long as its a real map).

Build lots of peons at start obviosuly have some sort of choke point set up to stop rushs.

Usually a failed rush puts someone back like mad then make a few exps get them up and running and then lots of buildings that produce attack units. You should have the economy for it by then.

I always use my Zerg queen to infect , wandering critters.. they make great scouts !

ALWAYS make bottle necks of hidden (underground zerglings) at the place a tank squandron would deploy itself to shoot , let them pop up straight after they have done so and watch the carnage.
Defiler and transporter to weaken soldiers, even protoss soldeirs then loose their health and are therefor half as strong in protection.
Build zergling flying sucuide squads, their cheap and fast to build and can bring down the expensive fleets of protoss and Humans. Just hide them somewhere in your base and label them with a number..and wait untill the fleet arrives.

There are two many strategies,
we have a four computer lan at home and we're alway playing starcraft : Broodwar. The way to win is to know your enemies, play all the starcraft and broodwar single player missions.

To slow down your opponent always go for there pions, kill the pions and they have to build more of them to get minerals and gas.

Playing as Terran,
If you're playing against the zerg or protoss, make sure you have loads of science ships and medic's (to get rid of plaque and parasite), upgrade emp shockwave (if playing against prot, and irridate against zerg, this pisses off the enemies, use the medics when you get plagued by defilers(little ****), kill all defilers with your irridate especially on island maps.
get siege tanks and upgrade to siege mode.

Another strategy that I have nearly been beaten with is build 30 goliaths and upgrade there rocket attacks, and build 10 siege thanks and walk them into your enemies base(not on island maps, unless you can get them in)

This is a must!
On island maps build turrets securing the perimeter of your island!

Playing as ZeRG

Use defilers, uses hydras and use a combination of guardians and mutalisks (guardians to take out towers and mutas to guard against ships attacking your guardians, NB. watch our for valkary's ) and remember LET THE LURE BE THE HURE!!
sacrifice one of ur ships to bring the enemies to your turrets!!!!!!!!!!!!

Use your queens to spawn broodlings on your ememies siege tanks etc, and always use parasite!!!

Bunny

you guys should download and watch some replays

www.broodwar.co.yu

most games don't get to guardians and valkries

mada999
