Photon canons and patience until I roll across the map with maxed out carriers
Unrelated to StarCraft, but this triggered a memory from my childhood that I had to go research to figure out what the hell it was, so I thought I'd share.
I got to play StarCraft at a friends house, never owned it until I had a job and bought my own copy of SC2, my version of 'StarCraft at home' was "Battle Realms" if I got the game right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHP3xUZ6ifc&t=2793s
I'm pretty sure the Lotus Clan had some corrupting/stealing mechanic that I abused, where I could take over enemy buildings and make my own version of their units. I remember turtling against the CPU players as being incredibly satisfying when I swept over them with their own units.
Might just be every RTS game where you can abuse economy in general when facing CPU players, but rolling across the map is always fun.
