eh 1.8k kills no research woh, id just restart anyways till i get at least 2.5k for the research lol

btw the zealots are used to block entrances. they are there to block zerglings from zerging my colossi LOL. colossi die so DAMN FAST to a SEA of speedlings rofl.
and i had to spam a couple of phoenixes AND have as many of em survive until carriers arrive so they can still continue to gravitron.

basically, i did the same as my previous hard play. the *ONLY* difference = f*** cannons, they suck balls. and SPAM ZEALOTS HARD + phoenix until carriers. basically never EVER let ur minerals or gas go above 400, if it goes above that amount at any point while ur min/gas line are fully saturated, you basically "auto lose"

dont forget upgrades too, i had 3 forge and 2 cybernetics to get my lvl3 upgrades ASAP. 6 warp gates, 4 robotics, 6 stargates for production. spam zealots at any given time when im gas starved and got minerals piling, and just spam colo/carriers (phonixes when carriers arent available yet, and the initial phoenixes given to you is 100% NOT ENOUGH to gravitron the hybrids that SPAMS you when you get past 2.5k+ kills lol)

not just no research. no pass mission also! cos Brutal need 2.5k kills!

i find leceh la to graviton the fellas. some more graviton mean using phoenix to whack them.

but problem is surrounding already so many muta / brood / overseer kacau.

eh thought only 2k loolol cuz the 2.5k kills got a bracket (Research) LOL

and no, ur phoenix dont whack them also can, so long you gravitron and STOP THEM FROM TEARING YOU A NEW ONE lol. ur void rays will EVENTUALLY charged up and eventually finish them (or carriers once you got them)

air unit is NO PROBLEM at all as ur phoenixes will dispatch them with ease. the only SAD part is, patch dont affect SP (proven ady lol) and THEY CANT SHOOT WHILE MOVE TO LOL KITE MUTALISK

having at least 10ish phoenixes will guarantee air dominance and enough of them to gravitron hybrids at any given time. so long you dont let ur phoenix count fall below 10 lol. to be safe, 15++ lol

then the real problem, are those retarded speedling swarm. sure, HTs are good and all, but 1) i cant build many of them to place them EVERYWHERE due to f***ing gas 2) if i cant place em everywhere they will have to walk and they are SLOW AS SHIT

colo/zealot covering them = best situation, never gas starved, never energy starved, never be in shit situation due to shit movement speeds.

ya and the corrupter(S) always pwn your carriers... ...

no leh. i actually last time also thought RESEARCH only but it's objective + research.

i want that protoss research cos brutal mode i actually didn't manage to collect enough research for protoss line. need only like 3 more for the last upgrade, I like the one combine the lab and whatever together.



hydras kacau my phoenix. i always have to careful where i engage air combat.



them lings pwn colo like no body business.

for hydras, colossi eat them for breakfast, just becareful of ur phoenixes to be too ahead of themselves without your colo support. remember, your units have to work in unison, forget your outer cannons, just goto the research archives and defend that middle point. HOWEVER. have CANNONS AND ZERATUL to patrol the left/right entrance to ur main base cuz em PESKY speedlings will occasionally sneak in and ravage the hell outta ur base. thats when i press load game ROFL.

and yeah, for hard mode, ONLY colo + carriers straight works. brutal, GOD DAMNIT SPEEDLINGS lol. and got 20+ colo also can die within a matter of seconds, so ugly.

yeah the speedlings clever, like to run up to the upper area. that's where my defences not there. they claw through cannons so easily.

and yeah i think i shouldn't send my air units ahead, which i always do. trying to save them cannons. after playing a while, i just decided this is UNLIKE hard mode where I can spam cannon there and still survive.

If u dont mind a cheesy strategy then try using dts to block instead.
Just make sure u kill their overseer before it reach your entrance. Quite easy to finish in brutal cause alot of kills faster than other difficulty.
Didnt even need to build extra gateway or anything.

tried. susah. may try again.

Make sure u place them and hold position just outside your bridge. then build like 6 cannons on each entrance... leaving only 1 spot to move on each side so your templar can psi storm them (optional), hehe... colo place them on top as usual... get anti air for mutas and u're set...as long as they dont have overseer, none of them get pass your bridge, heh. Its not that hard just need a bit of practice. And keep pumping out dts to replace the fallen one.

yeah that's what i did. my problem was not using observer to detect overseer. i may attempt that method again.

Its cheesy but works, hehehe.

yeah just need anti-overseer only. i tried my best to hunt them but failed. later only realize i can use observer to be warning cos they will gather first. if overseer see observer, then observer will die so observer KO = overseer around.

Yeah. Dont worry, if my memory serve me right, overseer only start coming out after 4th or 5th wave so u can prepare. I done this quite some time now so cant remember much. But i remember the first 2 wave no overseer so u can block with ease. Then during mid game 2 overseer will come instead of 1 so prepare.

hmmm i tried that. problem is that i tapau the 3 insane at my area about at the same time as the last remaining insane ai tapau the 3 at the other side. so it's gg after that cos it's a straight on 1-on-1 vs insane which i can't win (i can't even win very hard, loool).

anyway i still used my turtle strategy to win, insane or no insane also can't stand against my 15 battlecruisers, lol. 26mins in-game time at fastest = uh ... 15-20minutes?


Attached thumbnail(s)

yes. around 4th wave onwards. and the occassional speedling going through the DT line.

then not "glorious" ady lo XD

Told u cheesy lor.... i just want my kerrigan portrait.

yeah i just want my Kerrigan portrait also. who cares glorious or not, the challenge itself is difficult like silly.

fair enough lol. seriously though. almost 20 towering colossi in the middle, the moment engagement begins, zealots going BLADES OF JUSTICE and charge to their deaths and hearing their death cries on 5.1 thx surround

then when ur shit is in quite despair state, almost dying, CARRIERS WHOOOOO and hear the interceptors sound flying from BEHIND. (srsly blizz did quite a good job on the surround sound effects ololol)

very... Hollywood weh lol.
