I was having the best match of my life. A very close match that I was slowly eking out a victory on. He was Terran and had a very strong base loaded with battlecruisers that he would intelligently send on quick strikes against my base.
But I had six bases and, even though his battlecruisers would decimate my forces before being driven back, I was slowly gaining ground. Each attack I had more units and he had less ships. I had actually brought pylons and cannons in all over the map so there was nowhere he could fly to anymore.
I was preparing for the final strike. It was going to be glorious. The culmination of an hour's worth of playing.
Then my computer battery died.
Lesson learned. Always play with your computer plugged into a power source.
Goddamit... this is a terrible fucking story. Of course, I logged back in only to be soundly trounced by the next couple of Terran players due to a stupid raider blitz attack.
They are taking that out in the next patch. Raiders will take significantly longer to build.

Also, what exactly are you referring to by "raiders"? I hope it doesn't mean what I think it means...

There does seem to be some balance issue between Protoss and Terran, because by the time I have units like Carriers, they have units like Cruisers... which are better than carriers.
I'm glad to see the cruisers are being taken down, as are seige tanks. See, though? All the big terran units.

What I'm trying to learn with Protoss is what a good "final" strike team is.
Early on it definitely involves collosus, what with their ability to walk up cliffs and come in behind a base. If you combine that with the void ray ships, it's pretty deadly.
But once you get into fliers, things get more complicated. I've tried to spam Phoenix, but they don't hold a torch to cruisers. I'm thinking it would be best to have carriers supported by a mothership for the cloaking aspect. If you used vortex to take away half the attacking fleet, I think you could do some major damage to such a fleet.

The explosions are funny.
