Micro Tutorial/Challenge, taking suggestions

[Ceneraii]

Part 1:

So I made an advanced micro tutorial concept, but speed2 says it's too long, varied and sexy so it should be split into several parts covering different areas. Because of that I'm taking suggestions on micro concepts to be included, please use proper english so I can read what you are saying. Once there's enough and it's fairly complete I will turn each category into a tutorial concept and force my sla.... I mean kindly request speed2 to make it.

Guess I should be more clear, current planned categories are navy, air, land, experimental also seperated into basic and advanced. The final tutorial concepts will be short (<15 min) so they are easily digestible for new players.

Things to be added in future categorical concept TAKING SUGGESTIONS:


Part 2:

My epic micro tutorial concept that might end up getting souped up and being a challenge map to test what you have learned, posted mostly to show off how awesome I am and what type of mission concept I will be making.

1. Reclaim lab with engy.
2. Transport attacked by interceptors, drop early and distance build factory.
3. Enemy tanks have been dropped and are miraculously in a neat line, use your (fewer) tanks in concave to beat them.
4. Your damaged frigate has to beat the enemy frigate and kill the t2 engineer making a naval support factory.
5. Groundfire sera subs with battleship.
6. Monkeylord spotted on perimeter monitoring system, time to build a gc, alas your eco is shit and thus you need to reclaim the very convenient megalith wreck to finish it in time.
7. T3 Gunships coming to snipe your novax, but the enemy has more ASF than you, outmicro him and survive with enough asf to kill the gunships in time.
8. With your newly asserted aircontrol you manage to drop some engineers (who build a t2 radar no less) and mongoose on the enemy position, unfortunately pillars are coming and you have to kite them to save your position.
9. With the pillars dealt with it's time to make some MML's from your conveniently built support factories to finish off the enemy beach position.
10. Enemy combatant SCU is going for your nuke, but you have one ready to intercept it. Some tanks behind the enemy SCU will have to block it to prevent it getting back into the water before it's destroyed.
11. Missing, I was totally not high while making this.
12. Now that your nuke is safe, it's time to take out the enemy nuke def. You managed to sneak in a cybran strat but alas it's surrounded by sams. Hoverbombing is the only option. Once done it's time to nuke the rock position. (Doubledrop)
13. Your gc has strolled up towards the mid position, however there's one to stop it there too. Seeing as your gc took some damage on the way this attack is doomed to fail, unless you manage to grab the last kill you need to get your final vet and outlast it by killing one of the buildings behind the enemy gc.
14. Oh... Shit. Shit. Shit. Enemy strats are coming for your commander in a last ditch attempt to beat you. Survive one pass by dodging them.
15. It's time to end this farce. Your strat snipe ends up being a little miscalculated and the enemy ACU barely survives and quickly finishes a t3 shield. Fortunately your trusty novax is near. Self destruct your novax and make it land on the enemy commander to win.

some more loki themed aditions.
1. You build 50 auroras your enemy got 70-? striker/mantis. Kite backwards and defeat them.
2. Now secure the reclaim as fast as possible because the enemy tries the same.
3. With the tonns of mass you reclaimed you manage to rush t3 drop your harbingers all over the place.
4. Now the enemy is t3 aswell and drops brickes to defeat your raiding partys. Outmicro the brics in 1 v 1.

[ZLO_RD]

Beat brick with a harb
Beat mantis/thaam with 2 mechmarines
Beat ~5 chicken bots with 5 hoplites
Beat GC with loyalist+brick forse or something along those lines to show stun
Perform a corsair/ mercy snie
Would be cool if there would be missions that are impossible to complete, like ask player to assault t1 pd with tanks and after he fails give him 1 t1 arty

Ask to assault cerberus with OProra, and after fail give some obsidians ..

Great ideas! Love the concepts.

As a tutorial I assume that you are going to describe/show the player how to do it first?

Not sure yet about the showing part, describing definitely. These will be mostly meant as advanced tutorials for players who really want to learn the micro aspects of the game. Once they are done we will have to send some noobs to do them and get feedback ;D

One more idear for harbie micro:reclaiming the walls around a t1 pd before killing it.

Micro 4 hoplites vs harbringer

force my sla.... I mean kindly request speed2 to make it.

i don't think you understand your situation, YOU are the slave, and speed commissioned/tricked/forced you into working for him


in other news, i like where this is going, but i don't like how this means that speed2 will forc... i mean ask me to do lots of work for him xddd

i would suggest that the mission doesn't fail outright when you cant reclaim a lab or sth like that - instead try things where you either don't lose your units, like the sera subs don't attack you directly,
or use a reoccurring instance like if your engie dies to the lab a fac builds another engie and gives it to you, and the old lab runs into pd and dies, to be replaced also.


hope this helps.

A couple of more suggestions:

It is 2 minutes into the game and you have a special build order that rushes a bomber. Destroy as much stuff as you can with the bomber as fast as you can before it dies.

There is a megalith headed into your base and all you have to counter it is an asswasher, but you have air control. Hoverbomb the megalith until it dies.
