Ah, now there is some useful advice. Thank you Likkan. Carni just being negative instead of being constructive. If I am playing him wrong, then give me how to get it right then. I do agree that level mean nothing if you know what you are doing.
Anyway, I bumped into someone at 65 and 240 today and they both finished the game with Mengsk. Like Likkan said, he puts propaganda ship on every base and noticed that he used Zerg waves often at least 3-4 times and 1 nuke. Still, he let me take the front row and he just tag and follow behind me. He didn’t move unless I moved. I was intentionally stalling until last minute.
Level 240 just sit at the base and defend at dead of night. Didn’t even move at all and I did all the killing. He couldn’t manage it when my side of the barrier broke and I had to come back to defend.
However, nobody seem to use the long range cannon. I don’t even see the purpose of it. As soon as I have enough min, I just keep pressing A for army and upgrading guns with 3 upgraded healing ships and 1 propaganda ship. Eventually I will get a few BC or Marauder.
It works fine on hard but on brutal, without the strong partner like Dehaka or Zeratul, it is harder. I can tell you that I definitely cannot manage solo with Mengsk. What I am saying is I notice a lot of people also seem to struggle with him although they don’t want to admit it. I am sure that some of you probably good at playing him.
If I play other commanders, I just don’t care. Full attack and usually finish or clear the whole map (no enemy base left) within 16-23 minutes (depend on the map) if I have good team mate at brutal. With Mengsk, I have to be careful and keep an eye on everything. One wrong move in Brutal plus, I lose the whole army and then base. So exhausting.
