I suspect those mineral patches are to allow Zerg players (and others) to move drones across egg fields in the early game. You can stack two SCVs on a mineral patch, and move one through the field. It could be interesting for things like hidden expansions. Protoss and terran could use already well-known pylon or supply depot tricks, or send more than one worker, at their discretion. (I just played with Plasma as Terran and was able to use two scvs to get one across the field on my second try, so I suspect it would work for Zergs and Protoss too.) | ||

Yeah, completely forgot about that. That means that those walls are totally permeable to workers of all types, so you can scout easily and so forth. | ||

ROTK looks quite good as well, but that narrow path from your nat to your third gas worries me. | ||

I don't get what you would need to stack SCVs or pylon/supply tricks for. Can't you just go through the eggs already by clicking the mineral on the other side? Did anyone find a fix for Return of the King, yet? | ||

Yes you can move through them by just clicking on the minerals on the other side (just tested it) which could lead to some pretty stupid worker rushes. | ||

I think I heard that each mineral patch has 32 minerals so you would have to be willing to sacrifice mining time back at the main to get rid of all those and still hope that the opposing player isn't able to scout through those areas until you were done. hmmm can zerg place an OL on each patch and prevent the opponent from right clicking on the patch? That might be ubergay~ | ||

That might be ubergay~ I just tried this and parking an OL over the minerals does not prevent you from right clicking the patch but it does make it just a little bit harder. And yeah I can't play the RotK map either. | ||
