Alrighty then, the topic title is basically what I'm looking for. I've read a couple guides I found online that were significantly outdated, and they haven't been very helpful. Does anybody have either some solid advice, or links to good articles or guides? I generally play terran, but I'll take whatever I can get.

look at the strategy file in the sc101 thingy, anything with multiplayer means what you play for FFA.

since most FFAs are turtling until you get your highest tech, as terran i build tank/goliath combos with an anti-rush choke block marine (no medic unless all opponents are zerg) then turtle while teching to cruisers. thats only if you have a mix of t z and p opponents, otherwise play normally and tech normally against those races.

I find that BCs fail hard against carriers. I was wondering if it wouldn't be better to go wraith or just stick to metal.

most players will be turtling with anti-air static defense, so id go metal

and btw, EVERYTHING owns bc's... lol

I'm thinking that just to get more mobility, I might try Wraight/Tank. My dropships get shot-the-fuck-down, and pure metal is too slow to help my base out if I start to get owned while most of my army is away. I've also tried a 2rax->fact build that works pretty well, but I end up owning Zerg only to get stormed to hell.

the key to FFA is to call everyone else fags whenever they attack you. thats what my friends do. llool

And when you're about to die say "OMG U FAGS FUK AWF"

I played a game a few days ago, where I just turtle/teched to BCs off main + two expos (building only enough units to survive and harass), and at the end when everyone was all but gone, they kept running around and building shit in obscure parts of the map to be assholes. Since BCs are so slow, game took forever.

I call DOUCHBAGGARY.

Put your BC's on steroids Not only will they go faster, but you will be officially called a hacker by half the sc community and have people spam in 1337-5p33k @ u

Haha very nice... yeah i hate it when ppl spam in 1337 5p33k at me.

Actually I've found that as terran going fuckloads of mnm early works quite well... they are cheap, quick to build, and they rape people who are sitting there and turtling...

The key to winning an FFA is figuring out a way to fight the LEAST. 9 out of 10 times the player that wins is the one who is left alone the longest. So consider these rules:

1) Don't insult anyone in chat. Don't whine or complain. In fact, not talking at all works well (this is of course if you are really concerned with winning, half the fun of an FFA is yelling at eachother IMO)

2) Manipulate others into fighting eachother. Nukes are great for this but useless otherwise. The truly gosu among us can take two small armies, attack to players with inferior forces, then retreat to the middle of the map somewhere, drawing the two bigger armies into conflict with eachother.

3) Mass, don't harrass! Harassment pisses people off. Pissing people off makes them want to attack you. This is BAD.

Of course, there is one other plan, sure to garner laughs, cries, curses, and other exclamations, but almost never wins the game. Play zerg, turtle behind tons of sunkens and get 200 supply of 3/3 cracklings. Then just attack-move in every conceivable direction and bask as streams of lings light up the mini-map in your color. Make sure your basking is good because about .5 seconds later every other player will gang up on you and kill you.

I like that strategy Plethora .... 400 cracklings at the opponent is kinda tough to counter. Thats what I always used to do in BGH, but that rarely worked cuz some asshole would decide to go with some random air unit mass and kill me off
