Starcraft - Offensive Towers
|
It seems silly to only use towers for defense, so here's a way to use them offensively. It works best on a map with a lot of ridges and vantage points, and if you get started early enough, you can have great recon and control of the map. The ideal conditions for this are ridges that require being dropped onto. Those that arent should be protected by a bunker at the ramp. If your opponent doesnt notice you're doing this at first, he'll be very quickly unable to stop it. Since turrets are most effective in multiples of three, just start grouping them as such along cliff sides. Units passing beneath will be unaware, and no aerial recon will get by to inspect the side of the map you block off. You may need to throw in gols or marines in case he lands in there somehow, but as you move into late-game, dont bother rebuilding in earnest; while keeping your opponent at bay you should have been building an attack force anyway. This is definitely another bare bones strategy, and requires some improvisation. I recommend not expending too much effort on this if it doesnt seem to work very well, because it just doesnt work with some maps. |
