Well, I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout this thing called Mothership SC2. Sounds like some fancy spaceship game, huh? I don’t know much about these games, but I heard it’s a real brain twister, this Starcraft 2 thing.
They say this Mothership, it’s a big ol’ ship for the Protoss. What’s a Protoss? I don’t know, some kinda space critters, I reckon. This ship, it’s huge, like a whole town flyin’ around up there. And you gotta build somethin’ called a Fleet Beacon, whatever that is. Then you can get this Mothership, but it ain’t cheap. I hear it’s powerful, really powerful. Like when you use too much strength to beat your clothes, they get cleaned up really fast, but the clothes will also wear out very quickly.
Now, these young’uns, they talk about strategy. That’s like when I plan my garden. Gotta know where to plant the taters and where to put the beans, ya see? In this SC2 game, it’s the same. Gotta know what you’re doin’ or you’ll get squashed like a bug. I heard that you need to attack early on. Hit ’em fast and hard, before they get a chance to get settled. Make them think you’ve only got a little army and then surprise!
They say this Mothership used to be able to do all sorts of things. Like hide in plain sight and make enemies just stand there like a scarecrow in a field. Now that’s what I call a good trick. But they also say that it was really important in the game’s strategy. I assume they are talking about the old version of the game. The new version of the game is different, and the strategies are also different.
Some folks say you gotta use somethin’ called Mutalisks, sounds like a disease, don’t it? They say to swarm the Mothership with ’em. And these Void Rays, they’re like those flashlights, but I guess they shoot beams or somethin’.
- Attack early in the game.
- Build a Fleet Beacon to get the Mothership.
- Use Mutalisks to swarm the Mothership.
- Void Rays are good too.
- Mothership is very powerful.
Now, I heard some talk about somethin’ called a Nexus. I think it’s where you get the Mothership from. And this other thing, a Fleet Beacon. You gotta have that first, I reckon. It’s all so confusin’.
I reckon if you’re playin’ against these Protoss folks, you gotta be smart. Like when you’re tryin’ to outsmart a raccoon gettin’ into your trash. Gotta be quick and clever. This game, it ain’t for the faint of heart.
And there’s this other thing, they call it “midgame”. Like the middle of the week, I suppose. They say if you get that far, you’re doin’ alright. Then you can build another one of those, whatchamacallits, expansions. Like addin’ on another room to your house, I guess. You can get more resources for your Mothership SC2.
Someone told me there is a speed run for this Mothership. What is speed run? Is that some kind of competition? Like running a race to see who can get to the well first to get a bucket of water, but in this game. They also say it is difficult. I bet it is. Everything in this game sounds hard.
I also heard some fancy words from the kids: “unabductable mothership,” and a “10 second cloak.” A cloak? Like the thing you wear when it rains? But only for ten seconds? What good is that? That won’t even keep you dry walkin’ to the outhouse in a storm! And what’s “unabductable”? Does that mean you can’t take it? Like tryin’ to take a bone from a mean dog? Sounds like a right mess to me.
There are different ways to play, I hear. Like choosin’ between your hoe and your shovel in the garden. Gotta pick the right tool for the job. Some folks like to use somethin’ called Phoenixes. Don’t know what those are, but they sound fiery. There is also a way to deal with the enemies’s harassment. Harass? Is that like those pesky flies that keep buzzing around your head in the summer? I guess you gotta swat ’em down in this game, just like you would with those flies.
This Starcraft 2, it’s a whole different world. Not like my world of gardens and chickens. But these young folks, they seem to love it. They’re always talkin’ about their strategies and their Motherships. Maybe one day I’ll understand it all. But for now, I’ll just stick to my garden. It’s a lot less confusin’.
If you wanna be good at this Mothership SC2 thing, you gotta be patient, like waitin’ for your corn to grow. And you gotta be smart, like knowin’ when to harvest your crops. It ain’t easy, but nothin’ worth havin’ ever is, I reckon.
