So, since my last competition was pretty much a discussion, I'll now close that and move over to this general colony discussion (the others are all specific)
TALK ABOUT ANYTHING RELATED TO COLONY (and beef burgers)
Blackqueens are great with a little micro. Even 1 blackqueen can ruin your opponents' day. Fire and flee behind your forces. Destroys most ground units in 1 shot and it's a decent anti air unit.
Of course it would get destroyed by 7 scouts. They weren't exactly meant for anti air. Because it has better armor than scouts and phantoms and deal more damage than them. So if you think about it, they're the strongest air unit in the game. Only drawback is that it costs a lot to build and has slow build time.
LOL. Yea... i do know a lot about this game. I pick up games pretty easy, especially if they're strategy games or RTS games. It's true blackqueens die the same as phantoms, but it at least has a stronger weapon than phantoms if you don't include fire rate (which just makes 1 sakata vs. 1 phantom a tie). The reason why most people use it is because it's a substitute for missiles. You wouldn't want to waste resources, building space, and repetitive cost on something would you? Arsenal has several uses. Only 1 of the is the black queen. You don't have to use them if you want to, but in my opinion, they're a great unit.
