Well usually you simcity your main to have extra mining time and then lift off barracks and simcity your natural right?

the extra mining time doesn't matter, it saves you like 8 or 16 minerals
you should pretty much always build your rax in your nat, the 9depot can go in either main or nat but usually you're better off placing that in the nat as well
edit: an alternate way to do it is to start walling off your main ramp instead of sim citying your nat, but it's a lot more annoying to play against early zealots

Liquipedia doesn't turn up anything D: if it's not too much trouble, could you write a short guide on it? Please? :D

i started my zvp in about 2008 where i took the 4 hatch hydra build from this guide: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=72062
i adjusted some things to make it better and more versatile vs some protoss builds, but the general idea is still the same as in every macro zvp.

TvZ or TvT science vessel question. If for example terran player A wants to kill a lot of drones/scvs of player B using a science vessel and he has like 2 vessels so the 1-st vessel applies defensive matrix and then irradiate to the 2-nd. So 2-nd vessel goes and just hanges around in the mineral line of B. Question: when B's drones/scvs get damaged does he get that computer announcement: Our forces are under attack?

any tweaks you would make to it so that it would be good for me and the ZvP of today? I always felt like liquipedia BOs were outdated. thank you kindly.

There are tons of replays in http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=310883 and http://www.teamliquid.net/replay/ you can get modern zvp builds from if you want to learn 3hat spire. (snail vs huro is a pretty nice one as example and you can PM me if you have questions.)

I understand the purpose behind the 3 hatch spire build and it's weaknesses and strengths. But the 4 hatch hydra build I do not know what it is used for. I feel like going hydra den first would leave me vulnerable to sairs too much... What is the trade off? Thanks!

Would ensnare be useful in ZvT? It slows down stimmed marines' movement and attack speed a lot and marines cluster up pretty well...

Jaedong completely destroyed Fantasy with it on Chupung Ryung. It is definitely viable.

Is Random a viable decision for a casualish player?
Wanting to get decent at 1v1, but I enjoy all the races too much to pick one yet.

Casual Players can do whatever, just know a little bit about each matchup

The problem with playing random is that you will have to learn all 9 MUs, all 3 races' hotkeys, and all the intricacies that come with that. Therefore, progress should be a lot slower in terms of both skill and rank, because progress is spread over more areas. However, there is nothing barring you from getting decent at 1v1 by playing random, it will just take longer imo. The only drawback I can envision is that no one on ladder wants to play vR.

EDIT: What I found helps is playing R in 2v2 (no one really bans you for that), and then race-picking in 1v1.

How do you defend against a 9/9 gate without taking an enormous amount of damage in ZvP?

In-base or proxy? What is the build you started with?

I assume 12 hatch vs they build gateways at their natural? What I would do is just build enough lings to hold them off and 1-3 sunkens...
