I figure this isn't worth its thread in strat forum so I'll put it here.

http://repdepot.net/replay.php?id=5401

It's always a great feeling to see something elegant in the game. I hate andromeda, and while watching the grand total of four pvp replays from ygosu, I ran across this replay where BestofMario shows absolutely great gateway placement on the awkward main base area.

I mean it works on the side of your main or near your up ramp expo, if you want to do diamond shape in the narrow path you can only place 3 fact groups in diamond, but its enought to have 2 machine shops + 3 facts without shop.

I was going to complain about how many of the gateways are powered by only 1 pylon. But it's not really a big deal. The matchup on the picture looks like PvT anyway.

The problem with that is that the tanks at the back will take forever to travel to the ramp at the bottom, of course they can put a slit somewhere in the facs.

That factory placement is UGLY. I don't know how many of you play T but that would be a nightmare to macro, and you have like 6 tank facts and 4 vult facts, hope that isn't tvp =/. Joking aside, straight lines of factories looks sexy but are nearly impossible to place with new base layouts .

yea i noticed that too but you can add 1 pylon to the right for each pylon i believe.

plus on andromeda, if THOSE pylons go down you're probably fucked anyways.

Goodbye gateways as well....damn I just remember a 2v2 game where an enemy toss had his 4 stargates and fleet beacon powered by a single pylon.
