The mighty City of Talematros loomed on the cliff top above us. Vigilant warriors patrolled the cliff sides, including those that can be seen and those cannot. Citadels of jagged rocks shot up into the sky like Demon's Teeth, while aerial behemoth darkened the land that is already filled with Shadow. Yes… Talematros, standing in it's final hour... waiting to be destroyed
Seeing no obvious weaknesses to the Pylon Clusters, I set my troops up for a long Battle. The Creep Colonies were morphed instantly to Sunken Colonies to slow down attackers. Meanwhile Drones were efficiently morphed from both hatcheries and immediately set to work gathering the precious minerals. Finally when I was sure there were enough drones to harvest at maximum efficiency, I began base advancement:
Extractor
Hydralisks at Hatcheries
Evolve Hydralisk Speed
Expansion at H
Evolve Hydralisk Range
Upgrade to Lair
Expansion at I
A Sunken Colony/Overlord at Expansion
Evolve Overlord Speed
Evolve Lurker Aspect
As soon as the Overlord Speed was researched, I sent 24 Hydralisks and Duran to over load the Pylon Cluster at A. Escorted by 6 Overlords, the going was extremely easy. What Dark Templar the enemy sent was annihilated at far range. The Zealots guarding the ramp did little to slow my progress. In minutes, Duran had set the cluster to overload. After destroying the structures stationed there, my attack force return to main base, here more advancements were made:
Hydralisks at all Hatcheries
Queens Nest
Evolution Chamber
Evolve Zerg Carapace Level 1
Upgrade to Hive
As 12 Lurkers and 24 Hydralisks was available, I sent them to escort Duran to the Pylon Cluster at B. Meanwhile 12 Hydralisks were kept for defence at Main Base. The offensive force once again met little resistance. Two of the Dragoons guarding the cluster was instantly rendered help less by lockdown. Meanwhile the Lurkers climbed up the Ramp, burrowing just within range to the structures. The Hydralisks followed, destroying any Observers that strayed to near the Overlords. Enemy Reinforcements were from Talematros, but these could do little to the Burrowed Lurkers. Duran over loaded another pylon cluster with ease.
Deciding the press on to the advantage, my attack force continued Northwards to the pylon cluster at C. 6 Zerglings were sent from main base to join this attack force. Cloaking Duran, I sent him upwards, casting lockdown on all 4 Reaver stationed there. Although this costed the life of four Zerglings, it was well worth it. With the threat of Scarabs gone, the Hydralisks and Lurkers were free to charge up. Once again, another Pylon cluster become was prey for Duran's Over load.
Meanwhile these attacks was staged, more advanced were made at main base:
Ultralisk Din
Evolve Ultralisk Armour
Evolve Zerg Carapace Level 2
Second Evolution Chamber
Evolve Zerg Missile Weapons Level 1
Thir Evolution Chamber
Evolve Zerg Melee Weapons Level 1
Maintain Ultralisk Population of 6
Research Spawn Broodling
Maintain Queen Population of 8
Throught out this, the Protoss made several attacks of Dragoons, High Templar and Dark Templar, but these were no match for the missive amounts of Hydralisks stationed there for defence. An assault of 3 Scouts and a Carrier also came, but one again the 30 Hydralisk defending made short work of the attack
Meanwhile the assault force returned to main base. More Hydralisks were added to the army to restore the total to 24 again. Meanwhile the 6 Ultralisks also decided to join the assault force. Escorted by 8 Overlords, the force made its way eastwards, conquering the expansion at D. A Drone and 12 Hydralisks were quickly sent to the base to secure it. Meanwhile the assault force continued, halting at a Bridge. Without the availability of flyers, I knew the bridge was difficult to assault. The Lurkers quickly burrowed onto the Bridge, meanwhile the Hydralisks took out any Observers nearby. All through this, around 3 Mind Controls was cast, turning a Ultralisks and 2 Lurkers against me. Ignoring this, I continued the siege, charging the Ultralisks followed by the Hydralisks. Their energies expended, the Dark Archons could do nothing as my force tore into the down at E. Another Hatchery was set up...
Hydralisks from main base rushed to reinforce the heavy casualties I took, 24 Hydralisks and 12 Zerglings was added, bringing the total amount of Hydralisks to 36. Cheered, the assault force staged its attack on D. Once more, a Ultralisks was mind controlled, but it did no harm to my outnumbering Hydras. Charging forwards, I managed to burrow the Lurkers directly in the enemy base. The confusion that they brought, allowed my base force to charge up, destroying all whom opposed.
Here Talematros continuously sent High Templars to weaken my assault force. However they were stopped dead by Queens which quickly turned any High Templars who strayed too far from protection into Broodlings of my own. Unchecked, the force of 12 Zerglings, 36 Hydralisks, 6 Ultralisks and 12 Lurkers charged at the Pylon Cluster at G. Using the Ultralisks and Zerglings as a diversion, the Lurkers quickly burrowed themselves. Finally the Hydralisk brought up the Rear, destroying the 5 Scouts guarding the cluster. Duran quickly locked down the Carrier, which came. As all 6 Pylon Clusters were set to Overload, we watched with Glee as Talematros ceased to exist. Yet another victory for our queen.
