Protoss one base carrier rush (Fanatic rush :P)

Post by HeJurmhoanni »

Here is a build order and few replays about me doing an one base carrier rush (Fanatic rush):

9 pylon
12 gate -> scout for massive early agression, if so abandon this build.
15 gas
15 gas
17 core
17 pylon (right after building cyber core)
19 stargate
19 protoss air weapons level 1
22 fleet beacon
23 pylon
25 carrier
31 pylon
34 Graviton catapult

After that I like to build a robotics facility to make a warp prism, because of I like to wallin, and using my warp prism to expand(see replay 1). I Also like to build a forge for shield upgrades. Then you should build 1-3 more gateways and research warp gates to build up ur army (mostly stalkers). Remember to keep up ur carrier and stalker production and try to research more cyber core upgrades.
First I designed this build for Desert Oasis but it seems to compete in blistering sands too (blistering sands can be better cause of destructible rocks so you dont have to make warp prism to expand (if u wallin)). Ofc this build is very weak against massive early pressure but like in replay #4 this can beat small early pressure.

I'd like to keep this BO within N3O so pls dont post this build at any other site.

this would translate into a "Fast Industrial" in aoe3 terms ;-)
i don't see this working against anyone half-decent, carriers are at the end of the tech tree, so good luck building that fleet beacon :P

Your strat is the definition of cheese. :P

No decent player is going to let you go unchecked all the way up to carriers lol.

Yeah ur right, its a cheese and it also lose to cheeses, because its a slower cheese. Also a decent player wouldnt let me to rush carriers without suffering huge losses. Like the other day terran went for a fast cloak banshee and i couldnt do anythig about it. And whenever someone put much pressure on me when i did this build i had to abandon the build and would most likely to lose. But unlike u said this is a good strat against plat/dia and half-decent players because plat/dia players are most likely at least half-decend players and i (a gold player) beat three plat/dia players in a row with this build.
