Mass Dragoons Strategy This strategy is most useful in 'No Rush 10 Minutes' games because you generally max out at exactly 10 minutes. This strategy is all about speed. The dragoon is most likely one of the most effective units in the game. It has powerful armor, powerful weapon, long range attack, and can attack air units. It is essentially a moving photon cannon in every sense. As soon as you start out, place all 4 drones on minerals and immediately begin training another drone. Place this drone on minerals. As soon as you have 50 minerals, begin training another drone. This drone will be the only builder drone throughout the rest of the game. Have it begin construction on a pylon. One of the most important things to remember is to ALWAYS have a drone in training. Drones will need to continue to be trained and placed on minerals in order to have the resources to successfully implement this strategy. As soon as the first pylon is done, build these buildings in this order (including the first pylon) as the money rolls in:
The above build pattern is probably THE best way to build gateways in ANY game, so I suggest that you use it. After this, construct 6 more gateways in the same pattern with pylons going down the center. As soon as you have a total of 12 gateways, immediately build 3 forges and 1 cybernetics core. Then, as soon as you have the money, build another Nexus to help pump out probes because you will need them. As soon as the nexus is in progress build vespine gas assimilators on every spot available. By this time, you should have your second nexus completed. Pump out as many probes possible from both nexuses. While the probes are training, take the probes that are mining and place 1 on each assimilator to acquire gas. You will have a severe drop in income for about 2 minutes. SO, you'll want to place all your new incoming probes on minerals. Continue to place probes on minerals until you have sufficient income. Ok, this is where the fun begins. Start upgrading at the forges and upgrade the dragoon range at the cybernetics core. Build a robotics facility, a citadel of adun, and enough pylons to max out at 200 psi. Start training dragoons (remember to set a common rally point) and continue to upgrade. As soon as the citadel of adun and robotics facility are complete, build an observatory and templar archives. At this point, all you need to do is just train, train, train, and upgrade. If it is no rush 15 minutes or more, I suggest eventually building arbiters. Well, it's up to you to make it work, so good luck. Remember, though, to always have max dragoons.
