I figure i should concentrate on a few build orders and refine them as much as i can.
I'm starting to like thors, so for terran i think i will go with 3 racks, factory, quite possibly expand, then add at least one more factory. I have always played more of a macro game and i don't cheese so i generally expand reasonably early.
As protoss i like void rays, but i can't really get there while holding off a 4gate or any of the other races early pushes, so i'll go with 2 gate robo, get colossi relatively early and probably not build a starport unless the game is really long.
I suck hard at zerg and haven't played any zerg matches since making this blog, so it's fairly hard to decide. most people go with a roach heavy army, but i don't like roaches that much since they take gas. i will most likely go for an early hive and mutas, depending on how much pressure i get early i will either make some roaches or just try to hold with queens and lings.
I would definitely like some input on zerg early macro and build orders. i love the idea of mass queens, ultralisks and transfuse. but getting ultras takes quite a while.

Adjustments in the early game: against a fast expand i will nearly always try to just end the game before the expansion is up. which is gonna be fairly easy when playing terran not quite that easy when playing protoss, and as zerg i will just early expand myself.

Wait... you don't like roaches since they cost gas, but you've decided to go with mutas instead? Umm, you lost me I'm wondering, is the point to save gas for ultra/infest?

yes i want to save the gas for mutas.
there obviously is the slight problem about not having any decently strong unit that doesn't need gas.
