Queen Kerrigan

[cyrileom]

So, I was screwing around in one of my games, having just won a massive war, when I decided I wanted a more appropriate court gear instead of just walking around in armor the whole time, and found the clothes on sale to be rather lackluster. While browsing the cheatmenu, I happened upon an entirely free set of Demon Armor. I'm guessing it has no cost since you aren't supposed to get it. In any case, I decided to grab it for kicks, since it appears to be the best suit of armor in the game, and decided to use it in a few minor battles since my queen was already more lethal than a Demonic Magnus. In the midst of switching between sets, I realized something hilarious. My character, with the Demon Set sans head, looked eerily similar to Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, from Starcraft. I then proceeded to go the full course, renaming my character, my nation, and its color. I then put on a crown I found in the cheatmenu for kicks. With that done, I decided I needed to engage in a bout of fisticuffs with my changed character. After slaughtering a group of bandits, I engaged the final survivor with nothing but my fists against his spear and shield. Needless to say, he fell.


And thus, Queen Kerrigan was born. I fully intend to finish the rest of my campaign like this. Also, another picture in better light and without equipment.


Side note: It's both amusing, but incredibly frustrating, watching the AI refuse peace offer after peace offer, even though their army has been ground into paste on multiple occasions and they have lost an incredible amount of territory, forcing me to continue fighting a war that has been obviously won.

Have you tried going up to the king personally (as on the map) and asking him for peace?

Just obliterate it and get a few more zerglings Wouldn't be surprised if you make your Ultralisk or w/e knight.

Mass Zerglings with their speed upgrades are good for fighting against Ravenstern. You can completely run around their slow Kierguards, where you can then tear apart their archers. Roaches can do the same with their burrowing ability.

Sarleon's main strength is their heavy cavalry. You can bog them down with Zerglings, however that would be a suicidal strategy. Instead, have Infestors use fungal growth on them. Meanwhile, their infantry and archers are average at best, so you can deal with them however you wish.

To beat the fierdsvain, you'll want to mass air units (Preferably Mutalisks for their speed). Archer's aren't exactly the Fierdsvain's strong point, so you should have an easy time taking them out. Be prepared to pull your air force away when the throwing axes start flying. Alternatively, you can simply fight brute strength with brute strength, and throw Ultralisks and Abberations at them. If doing so, support them with other smaller units.

D'shar is all about speed and agility. You can catch their fastest cavalry archers with zerglings, but they'll likely be torn up if those cavalry archers are Windriders. Again, Infestors and fungal growth will help here. As for their infantry, they don't always come with shields, so go with the general Hydralisks and Roaches strategy.

Empire can be a bit of a pain. Their laser-guided javelins and crossbows means even the heaviest units will get mulched, and their armor means you can't spam Zerglings and hope they'll win. IMO, the best thing to do is amass some vipers and use their blinding cloud ability on their troops. No javelins, no crossbows. That's when you throw every available Baneling you have at your disposal at them.

And for any siege, whether city or castle, remember to bring Swarm hosts and have the first wave of swarmlings go up the ladder first. Throw in some brood lords for good measure.

Also, my tips may or may not actually be helpful though, since I play Protoss anyways. Good luck!

That... definitely wins post of the week! Nicely done haha.

 

[Lord Kehm]

Seems pretty solid except for that part about the D'shar

 

[Nikomakkos]

Oh man, Fungal Growth on the Fierdsvain infantry blob...

 

[habeo123]

It's like taking down a marine marauder ball. Oh the feeling.

I think I should rename my knights to Ultralisks and Hydralisks. And as for the D'Shar, I find having them run into a wall of repeating grooved spine (arrow) fire does quite nicely.
