went into it on SP mode and poked around
okay so the trigger for victory appears to be the death of the Overmind which has 2500 hp (idk armor) and is camping deep in enemy territory.
my theory is that the fastest and easiest way to beat it (of course this is just a theory) would be to mass 100 banshees (since they cost 2 supply) and rush the Overmind to focus fire it down.
Assuming three person play, 2 of them could cover defense. (read: mass tanks / thors)
then back to the theory and the math
Overmind: 2500 hp (assuming no armor)
Banshee: 12x2 damage per volley
that would take approximately 105 volleys to down the overmind
so that means u need 53 (rounded up from 52.5) banshees to down it in 2 volleys
so this leaves a margin of 47 banshees that can die on the way to the overmind, assuming the 53 hit an AVERAGE of 2 volleys each.
assuming you have 30 workers, that cuts 15 banshees.
So we have only 32 to sacrifice while flying across the map.
You can get more if you kill your SCVs..
somehow its starting to seem very, very plausible.. just that the spore cannons are scary.
Yes, spore cannons. Not spore crawlers.
So how fast can this be done? Well it needs ( 150 minerals and 100 gas ) x 85 banshees.
thats 8500 gas. thats usually the limiting factor. Not to mention how many starports u gotta build for this.
I'm not gonna go calculate the time, nor am i gonna structure out a build order. Coz my brain might not survive ^^
What are the chances? :)
