Advanced Nuking.



Normally I wouldn't advise nuking, as it costs a lot of resources, supply, and time to build and can easily be countered with a detector. Nuking is not recommended for newbies...just plain walking up to your opponent and launching a nuclear strike won't be very effective. A good way to nuke is using a drop ship. Build you usual army and defense, and have an armed nuclear silo (or 2) ready. Have some ghosts stand by with cloaking and +50 energy upgrades. Get some marines and a dropship. Put 7 marines in the drop ship. Select a ghost with 250 energy...hotkey it and cloak it and load it in the dropship (so it has 7 marines and the cloaked/hotkeyed ghost). Then take another ghost and put it right outside your opponents entrance. Drop the infantry into the back of your opponents base and let your marines attack and die. Make sure your ghost does not attack anything or his position will be revealed. When he has about 50 energy left, cloak your second ghost (the one outside the entrance) and with your first ghost (the one hiding in your opponent's base) look for a nice place to nuke and nuke it! Your opponent will probably think your ghost is at his entrance and send detectors there. He will kill your decoy ghost and think he stopped the nuke! Hehe, watch his expression when his base goes BOOM! Also, if you have 2 armed nuclear silo, you can have the decoy ghost nuke as well.
