My Role Normal + Champion

Going to start out by setting up all available turrets and shields to defend my home worlds. Then Produce all military units to start scouting and taking nearby systoms. This map offers a VERY nice three point choke though it will take 20+ hours or so for me to take them i think.. i will let you guys know how it all goes. i will take pics as i get key stages set up.

Multiple starting homeworlds cranks things up a bit, but it sounds like you're having fun anyway   I hope it goes well.  Well, actually I hope that you have fun, which may mean the game itself going very un-well

thats what everyone says i used to start with 8 homeworlds (like if 8 people were playing) VERY BAD IDEA lol. but i find two homeworlds is GREAT to start with seems easier to me well atleast thats how it seems i know the waves get bigger but it seems like its easier to deal with

8 HWs, or even 16 HWs, can actually make for a much easier game (Cinth routinely beats max-difficulty on 16HW, I think, because 16HWs is pretty unbalanced in favor of the player).  If you know what you're doing   And if your scenario permits a good solid chokepoint.  Better to get a few wins under your belt in lower-scale scenarios, though.

ohh hell yea game gets easy BUT it will grind my computer to a halt lol at 20+ hours i just cant figure out why either i dont have no chump computer lol

[keith.lamothe]

Yea, Cinth plays 16HW, but Cinth plays a Slideshow
