P~A very odd strategy

[RyanXWing]

One day I was playing a public game on some map with the bird critters... what ever they are called, the game lasted a while and I had DA with mind control, so I mind controlled a critter and used it to scout and look at the enemies base, it was just as effective as an observer except it didn't have cloak. The person didn't realize this until the end of the game, when I countered all his unis... :-D

Any thoughts on this?

Yea, I did that once. It got killed by a turret, though. The human may not understand it is yours (even though a look at the mini-map shows it is), but his forces know, and they shoot...

 

[Star Ally]

I didn't know you could mind control critters

 

[betaalpha5]

yeah you could but... how come he didn't no ? i mean they aren't like hard to kill

 

[TrongaMonga]

Because he saw a creature and didn't even thought twice that it could be a mind controlled thing. Would you think it?

 

[Ashigaru]

I've done that before, its pretty funny.

 

[xXxEnemyxXx]

I'vd done but when it's done on me, kinda sad cause I always see it on the mini map :-/.

I've played a map where me and my ally just mc'd all the critters (there was a LOT) and one of the guys we were playing freaked out when like 50+ critters came at his base. We told him we were uber hackers and he actually left. Then his ally left and called us "moroons"

 

[amrtin77]

haha.... well its useless to mc them coz his units will auto kill them. but parasiting them is a great tactic. really good sight of the map and most players march right by them without a second thought.

Speaking of critters, did you know that by continuisly doing rapid clicks on one during about one minute will make it blow like a nuke? Doing no damage, but, god, think of the terror you provoke on your enemies.

lol just makes me wonder what would happen if i sent them into my enemy base. "critters are cheap infested"

 

[TrongaMonga]

It only works in single player, though...

 

[betaalpha5]

aww bummer

 

[RyanXWing]

I had to tell Tronga that in the game we played :rolleyes

 

[aphextwin]

why bother using da and why bother mcing a critter :\ thats (i think) a 200 mana waste.... play some blizz maps u nub

 

[betaalpha5]

cuz when u're winning and you have a lot of energy, does it matter?

MCing critters is a waste of time. 150 mana plus shields gone. Then there's the fact that the enemy will kill them BECAUSE it's YOURS. Parasiting critters, on the other hand, is fine.

 

[RyanXWing]

It was on LT, and it worked so meh, oh well sheilds gone, go recharg em, oh no mana gone wait... the main fact is: It worked

 

[Renzokuken]

MCing them is fun. But parasiting them is more effective if you're playing to win, and have mana to spare

There are critters on LT????? It worked huh? Congrats to you.
