Forge FE before Bisu?

Even before Nal_ra?


The strategy of Forge Fe is iconic in pvz. This may be the first recorded guide to one in BW history.

Posted on broodwar.com in April 2000.

A pylon and two cannons at the front. And a massive wall of pylons surrounding the expansion. Not the most refined build in history. But still, very interesting read.

Use the force.

Hehe

Nal_rA was just the first to make it famous/viable in pro level which trickles down as being viable for all levels of play.

Tis' the story of someone finding a new idea but not getting the means of giving it the recognition Unfortunately for people like that, it probably hurts to see others get all the glory

I enjoyed your link neobick.

This was a nostalgic read for me, before there was tl.net, there were sites like starcraft.org.

I would spend all my time in high school entranced with this.

"Dark templars are not good against zerg but..."

It is indeed a pain to micro corsairs all game these days...

But I never understood pvz as a kid, then when savior came along, I jumped ship.

When this was written, this was a legit and very strong build order.

Pretty interesting read, thanks! Much like was mentioned, too bad the poster who wrote this wasn't able to get it more recognition.

For some reason the way this guy describe it feels hilarious to me, it's so reminiscent of weird strategy websites during that era.

Then, you should have TONS of crystals. It�s a really good idea to warp 3-4 more gateways (for a total of 6-7) to be able to kill zerg overwhelming forces. If you survived that long, the game should be a piece of cake, since a protoss with templars, fast zealots and some dragoons is pretty tough to kill. Good Luck!!!
