Call him a noob and quit?

Haha, well you could try to educate him on how the mark works. Tell him its all about counters, upgrading, and killing. If you neglect your upgrades, you better be saving up for a counter merc, also explain what the counters are because theres people out there who think their stalkers will beat destroyers.

Also tell him constantly buying things for all 3 unit groups and constantly changing mercs is failure because you wasted your money. Always focus in 1 unit group, everything else is just supplements to that group.

Radar tower to see them coming, scan then savior before it gets close.

You need to pop the savior out before it gets to your compound.

Another way to prevent this is to hold your side of the wall, have AA mercs with high splash such as Maraiders or Destroyers (best against rays cause of the mech damage).

The Thor might work too, although against rays, a focus fire on it would probably kill it off pretty fast too, you'll need to scan beforehand so you can use its AA range of 12 to your advantage.

Always keep a small army nearby for defense, or keep a unit near one of the shops so you can keep rebuying saviors.

When you see an army coming towards you, and you're planning on using a savior, move all your troops behind your command center, and use the savior. You wont waste your troops trying to fight off the bulk of his army, and you'll having something ready for when he send the next wave.

Whenever a player loses a full army and is forced to use a savior, then that player can just keep sending in waves, so you need to keep an army alive to hold them off, or upgrade and build base defenses, or get one of the towers.

• You can get an anti-unit tower and just use the various AoE abilities on their army, although you'll still need a bulk of your army alive to shield your tower.
• You can get a supportive tower and calldown marines if you're focused in Marine Upgrades
• You can invest in a sentry and/or high templar, force field a choke, and then psi storm the entrance.
• The HT alone can do this, but will run out of energy quickly, the sentry will ensure that you can both use forcefield and psi storm constantly.

Extra game modes are always a possibility, but I dont add new gamemodes that often because just maintaining the map and the new updates to classic mode is enough work already.

Holding a tower will give sight to the center hill anyways, get one of the side towers first, then take the center, or use lots of scans.

No zombies in the regular game.

Uhh, read the prerequisite requirements on the upgrade haha.

"Firepacks require STIMPACKS to be researched."

There's no 10 minute cooldown, you just forgot to research stimpacks first.

I did a small change to give the center a small choke point advantage, I think this is fair.

You dislike the terrain layout or the shop merge? There is a vote taking place whether or not to change it back: http://marine.egmngr.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=214

I think this is a bit better, now you can have all out fights in the middle, instead of having one idiot team feed the player adjacent to them to the point where that player becomes so good theres no point in fighting him/her.

It does favor melee more, but melee never really stood much of a chance after the first 20 minutes of the game. So players now have to do more than "a-move" their units, they actually have to use good micro, its kinda what I intended from the start. I like how you actually have to take care of your ranged army when fighting melee units again, and melee players dont have to go that extra mile to keep up. Ranged units are no longer at a complete advantage over melee units.

Not any more, but they should still do fairly decent against ground troops. An Air Counter will always be their main use though.
