I present to you ling-proof walls at naturals on Heartbreak Ridge:
I played some games using this setup and people almost always mass up lings and try to overwhelm me.
One guy tried to drone drill me in a regame after he lost the first one.
Anyway, note that 3 oclock position allows for much smoother gameplay as the marines are spawned inside the wall as well as factory units.
Some reps again if someone is interested: The first game against that guy who drone drilled in the second.
The drone drill game:
I hope you can use what you learned and pwn zergs.

Is a factory wall-in really all that useful? :s
|
Neat, going to copy this.

8rax -> gas -> factory -> float back and be safe ?
Or were you joking?

for the current TvZ trends, especially if you go for 2port wraiths, factory wallin is the way to go imo.
You save up extra minerals because you get to build your 1st supply near your minerals.

that's cool to know
|
That's a really weird wall in. Pretty useful and cool. If I were zerg I'd be confused.
|
Blog delivers, that is very cool, you'd expect to able to fit through there easy, graphically there is a massive whole.
This is why SC remains cool, all these little unexpected tricks.
|
Does that really work ?
Neat stuff man, should piss off the zergs.

I love it.. I bet its viable on other maps aswell..
This is a little to good to be in blogs should post it in strategy

This is a little to good to be in blogs should post it in strategy I was kinda wondering wether to post it in strategy, but decided to put it in blog instead, coz I didn feel like typing it out according to the standards of those threads.
Maybe I'll repost it when I get back from uni later.

Can I rename your title to something useful please?
|
Yea, this blog delivers big time..
I knew about the rax+fact combo being lingproof, I just didn't know what exactly the building placement needed to be. IIRC, you can put rax on top and be safe too.. though I am unsure.
The only problem with this type of wall is that you cannot have it until a bit later.. so it won't save you from fast pool strategies.
5/5 anyway.

5/5, although if they're committed they'll attack the temples and go round the back.
|
pretty cool, i would never expect that to be ling tight

does it work with 2 raxes too? or rax/ebay?
|
Is it still ling proof after the refinery is made at the natural?

This is great, especially for the 3 o'clock position.

"[G] Ling-tight walls on Heartbreak Ridge" should be ok?

The moment your rax is finished, you start the factory - you are safe. Remember, buildings don't have to be finished for the wall to work properly.
I'd say this is fine vs normal ling strategies(9 pool). 4/5 pools will get there before you're done. 6 pool not sure (is 6 pool even used?)

Plus it only works if the supply is to the left or right of the refinery.
So, if there was a supply next to the refinery, a zerg could bring a drone with his lings and fuck you over.
