It's mainly cannon and bunker rush defense behavior. The elite AI basically has map hacks, and will know when you start building something near their base, even if it's outside their vision, and instantly start attacking it with workers.
video reminded me of a WOL campaign line Reynor said: Between bunkers and siege tanks, we can hold the line against just about anything. So true in this case
Real reply: It also came from Sc1 that a lot of players advise Terran players to between siege and bunkers. (don't forget scv! They gonna help repair) So some developers would like to put this in the campaign to help newer players defeat the game.
Going into this wasn't expecting the strategy to be outlasting your opponents rather than say picking them off as quickly as possible, but great work, was extremely satisfying to watch!
its a nice idea to outlast because in 8 players map a lot of them have a "teammate" on your side, so it gives you more resources than any other AI if you kill that one quick and take over. Terran just has the best siege units also. Pretty cool. If anything maybe doing 4 elite AI with the same strat might be harder because they would have more resources and could probably force you out eventually? maybe.
@@Humstuck it will end up being the same thing. You still have a base ratio of one to three. You still need to trade extremely efficiently. Every marine you build should kill 3 in return.
@@Humstuck well, if the res are the same, then no, if anything it's easier, because the supply cap collectively is less, so it's a 4 to 1 and not 7 to 1 maximum presence
Picking off one of the AI's early before it could use many resources was critical though, as that shifts the resource exhaustion ratio from 7-1, to a 3-1 - which dramatically increases the number of losses he can afford over the course of the game.
Ahhhh, the strategy of the second attack: wait till the last and then, send all your battlecruisers to rush your enemies. I see this strategy survived through time since SC BW. Love this, man, I traveled to my childhood. 😍
I saw this video on my suggested hoping it would be the Terran Strat of "With bunkers and siege tanks, we can hold off pretty much anything". It's what we all think of when we think of Terran Vs Zerg and I love it when it is shown this well.
@@Leonardodeboni0406to be honest, that position was so smooth, you had advantage by higher ground, and barricades that couldn't let enemy tanks get them with siege mode
Similar to the battle of Gettysburg on day 3, the defenses were just barely reached and just for a few moments slightly breached, but not quite enough to keep pushing and make a breakthrough.
I do so love how this game kept the Terran's theme music/s... Or at least the REALLY GOOD ONE! :D And of course, phenomenal gameplay. You're out here making this look EASY (Aside from that final push from the AI, which, by the way, was a pretty POG moment)! XD
That was awesome. Got hairy when all the structures were destroyed. You held the line amazingly well, I thought they would have breached it but you repulsed their assaults calmly. 💯
I remember doing a strategy like this in SC1 back in the day. Seeing a whole bunch of siege tanks unload their mortars on waves of enemies is just satisfying to watch.
This random video has completely won me over .. SALUTES to how you are able to do this. loved this game as a kid and its still cool today. winning 7 elite AI is awesome
Like hearing it with the actual game sounds. I’ve never played Starcraft 2 but I did play the first Starcraft back in the day and I loved it, especially playing as the Zerg. Those swarms of armies & traps they produce are so cool.
Man, that was satisfying to watch the whole video, sad to say but im just campaign player, all i can say is terran is the most brutal defense against all races and your so good at keeping your units death count so minimal i can see your units is always 200 to 198 or 180 is also satisfying keeping the units being safe the funny part was getting rushed by the workers from the start 😂😂
I once did this but I was a bit more aggressive, went terran air. Made planetaris with scvs and a wall of sieges for defence and then started flying around with banshees/vikings/liberators. As long as you have some spare scans you can safely see the enemy coming and unless its a giant blob army or a marine wave. You can then use your libs to lure the army to a high ground or a cliff to snipe away at em. Also use these guys to make the enemy ot blob up in 1 giant dead wave and to snipe expansions or base peices that are unguarded. This way the ai's spend even more cash to rebuild. But good vid.
This was a blast to watch, pun intended. I'm not big on Terran gameplay, but thisbeas epic. My strategy has always been with protos and build a mine field of defense turrets while building carriers in the back hidden then flank the enemies from the shadows of the edges and work my way through.
That is a variant of the Terran star tbh, which I respect as well because I used to play Toss back in BW. I found that Terran on this side was more my thing. Something about holding out against larger forces just appeals to so many eh?
I just did this! I have been trying for weeks, rushing opponents until today when I realized that the way to do it is just to outlast and control the very last mineral lines near your base (but outside of it). I did it a bit differently though, the enemy AIs are easily manipulated if you have Liberators. They won't go into Liberators range, so just camp 1 Liberators at the ramp helps you save money on a lot of Siege tanks. Later on you need quite a few more Libs though, I ended up with 5 that survived almost the whole game. I also used Libs to camp them at AI mineral lines to slow them down (once again, they'll try to stop you but their units won't go into Libs range until they have overwhelming number), I slowed 1 AI down with 2 Libs to give me some breathing room early game.
Hey great vid, might I suggest next time after you get your base defense up look at getting building armor. Your use of buildings in these kinda demands it I think. In normal games it’s kind of a joke but against AI in this scenario it’ll definitely be worth the cost
@@TheJoey938 he still has a point, it would have made it a bit easier due to higher building defense stats thus requiring less money spent on repairs due to them taking less damage (also less SCV's needed on the wall for those repairs). Was it needed for this vid specifically no cause he "Barely Survived" the last wave but this is a vid where he won not the many others where he lost that we don't get to see.
yea i did wonder about that, i wonder if there was a reason he didn't get the armor upgrade despite relying so heavily on base defense. maybe he got it and we missed it?
ngl watching a who getting annihilated by the siege tanks and the anti-air turrets was pretty satisfying, and also one of the reasons why I love this game.
one of my best games was a 3v3 ai and my two teammates left cuz they thought we wouldnt win and i solo dolod it and won through attrition. i was terran and i was playing exactly like this. siege tanks and rines + missle turrets
Reminds me when I was a kid playing StarCraft Broodwars and playing as Terran. Siege tanks and bunkers were ever the only way to beat the hardest AI. Just waiting their resources out to become depleted. 😂
I wonder if it will catch on amongst Terran players. Hopefully not, as it must be infuriating to play against. But most Terrans are good sports, and very polite, so I'm sure they wouldn't stoop so low.

That's just playing All In
I wanna see a version where the SCVs complain about minimum wage and refuse to work for the first 5 minutes of the match.
If the ai knew how to use swarm hosts, this would be impossible.
I want to see a Protoss vs 7 Elite AI lol
How every Terran wish online ranked matches would go. Enemies just relentlessly attacking into their defence without defence breaking units.

THE BEST GAMEPLAY OF STARCRAFT 2 I HAVE SEEN THANKS FOR THE WORK FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what i liked the most is how you baited their air forces in your turrets every time. gotta implement that in my gameplay too
wol，glad to see you great showcase.
It's so good to see the tanks blowing everything up
The explosion of unit by the tank were so satisfying that i watch the whole thing!
I didn't think people actually liked watching vs AI videos. This is interesting.
As a SC old guard, so satisfying to watch, great job
i hope you do more of these!
The video encourages you to try the campaign again, thanks for playing
Oddly enough, it's a lot less anxious watching your SC2 videos because I know there's no way for you to sell your command centers ;)
