yeah, you are correct, this wouldnt work 1v1 or probably not even 2v2, because of the lack of units for the first 10 mins of the game can easily get u GG'ed. But when you have a bunch of RT nubs, its a riot to watch them panic when their base is getting liquid fire'd, only to have them TP in with a DH and mass hunts. Good luck hitting my bats with hunts, nubbers... and thats exactly what happened in the game i described above. I harassed the hell out of the NE, and instead of simply buying dust and maybe building a few protectors, he did didly squat about my BM continuously hitting his wisps... I took turns between him and the orc player beneath him, keeping 2 out of the 4 opponents on lock-down in or around their bases, constantly losing workers. Then i show up with a flock of bats, and they attempt to counter with hunts.
Soooo the NE base got wtfpwned real quick, and the orc lost his hall and a few burrows, then the towers came flooding in, all in all a riot to play, gotta find the guy who was towering with me, he was one of the best ive seen in a RT game when it came to towering, he even fed us resources to keep our units stocked.:grunt
