goliaths dont handle carriers as a rule (on 70% of the maps)
and tanks along cannot breach toss defense (at least not the one built by that dude I fought) I am rusty true, but I know a good player when I see one
well now, theyre very often used, so i call them pretty much newbie strategies (of course, anything on a money map is a newbie strategy, no matter what's used). in BW, goliaths handle carriers because of superior numbers (and of increased range) especially in coupling with vessels because EMP rules all toss!
i never said i used tanks ALONE, i almost always use them in conjunction with other units, such as valks, goliaths, among others. tanks in siege mode can slap any defense down because of their extremely long range (i like hitting people from across rivers
). i do the same thing with nukes and comsat.
i actually prefer to work on island maps unlike most others (ive had people leave a game because i chose an island map and didnt tell him; he could no longer claim to be 'the best' anymore) because of the Terran advantage with expansions and scouting. i must admit, watching someone scream after i nuke them from an adjacent island IS fun!
hee, wanna see a screenshot of me nuking an attack force? he bitched at me a lot for the nuke in the shot... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
