classic strong fd is 6-10 marines and a tank with a vulture reinforcing. ive seen the build you're talking about and its quite strong.

Well here's a quick rundown of how the game went.

His scout hits my base at 16 psi when I'm SUPPOSED to be building my gas. Instead for some reason I decide to build my gas should be built on 18 so the Terran gas steals ME! lol.

he gets it up to like 450 hp b4 i kill the SCV so I didn't get my gas till 23. so I build 3 zealots instead of 2.

completely confused by what he sees the opponent has a hardcore pause b4 he decides to siege expand. which is good as siege expanding is the totally wrong answer for what is about to come. being he has no scouting scv he doesn't see the 3 more gates and range all happen. when i attack around the 7 min mark (approx times just going off memory) with 3 zealots and 6 dragoons. needless to say his 4 sieged tanks and marine are very quickly overwhelmed.

i take control of the natural just a moment and only lost 2-3 goons in the process. now that his natural has been abandoned, i proceed to march right into his main with my initial army. i immediately take control of the staging area of his factories. at about the 8 min point it's pretty much gg as i have limited him to one base at a time and destroyed about 15 SCV's, 6 tanks, & 2 vultures, and a marine to boot.

by the 9 min mark it's beyond gg as i have destroyed now +5-10 scv's, another vulture, a bunker, +2 marines, and another 2 tanks, and unbeknown to him, i have mined out his 0 min patch so now i can control the high ground if i lose control of the main.

he proceeds to fight for another minute before he leaves (no gg, i can't imagine he was happy bout getting ran over by a million ranged goons.).

remember i hit them with like 7 goons and a pair of zealots on the first attack. if they have a bunker without heavy support i'll eat it up.

the build that scares me the most is 2 fac vultures/mines. i can mine drag well but it slows down the attack so hardcore.

and in the game i won the guy simcity'd his natural and l8r built a bunker in it. neither helped !

What? How could you possibly break 4 tanks with 9 units? Did he not wall or something?

I just watched the rep... and I don't think the T walled correctly... and also when he pulled his scvs, he basically opened up a path straight to the tanks. If he just kept those scvs there, the tanks would've made goo out of your goons. However, it totally caught him offguard and he panicked like crazy. Give us more reps if you keep doing it.

something about pvz and, more pertinently, d-level in general: I've been trying to do standard 4gate/2archon and bisu build at d-level for a while. My timing isn't good, I make lots of little mistakes that accumulate and basically it comes down to whoevers macro is better. there are no reactions, change-up to pre-game plans or anything: me and my opponent tend to stick to exactly what our bo says and just go from there blindly because we dont take the time to think mid-game.

so when I get frustrated and just want some wins, I macro hard off of 1 base/2 gate. When I get nearly a control group I move out, then add 2 gateways and get one tech depending on what I see. my apm can handle it, I can micro the units right

the point is, d isn't a place that can prove the effectiveness of a build order.

I'm not trying to prove effectiveness, if you read the whole post I am just having some fun... For the 10th time I understand this will not work past the D ranks. But that's y the D Ranks r fun, they allow you to do dumb shit like this and win if u do it right.

And chill it was likke an above poster said. He saw all the units and panicked hardcore, he pulled his SCV's from his natural to his main and opened up a nice path for my goons. plus he had some really weird wall to top it off. Check out the replay if you want to see more.

Well, after getting steamrolled on iCCup on a couple times a cpl days ago on HBR, I thought to myself "isn't there some 4 gate crazy goon rush that will run this right over (early 1 fact timing push)?"

what is this 1fac timing push you are talking about?


i'm not sure. it's when the terran attacks with either:

3-4 vultures
1 tank
3-4 marines

or

2-3 vultures
2 tanks
3-4 marines

i normally see it when i 12 nexus, but l8ly i have been seeing it alot. might be a FD of some sorts?

Terrans who push like this are godawful. This timing does not exist, and if it won you are using a very poor 12nex build.

Your build can only beat shitty players, but you've already acknowledged that, so I have no idea why you posted it in a strategy forum. Btw, terran can lingtight wall on HBR with 2 depots and a rax.

oops, my fault. It's kinda frustrating though that people like you and many others screw around with trashy builds at the d level for players who are actually playing through d ranks trying to refine a build. kids end up getting out of d after getting their builds barely down and then getting trashed by people who can macro and understand the game a little bit better. just like how you can beat so many people just by building like 2 dts.

you bring up a good point. but in the same token it teaches them how to think on the fly and deal with unorthodox play.

i've won prolly 30-40% of my games with DT FE. Want to try something new and Medusa or Tau Cross aren't MOTW so I can't 10/.15. I've played 85 games of PvT in a row, so I want to do a couple games just for fun.

And for reference HBR is a bad map for this strat lol. I failed to realize how dumb dragoons can be about getting thru the choke....

1-1 with it now. Could have won the second game if the goons didn't freak out at that choke and go backwards.... not cool....
