When terran sees dragoons move in he can even pull scvs back. If the dragoons attack the bunker, send them forward again, if the goons target the scvs retreat again... and all the time the bunker is killing the dragoons. | ||

But 6(?) dragoons should be able to one shot scvs, and walking in and only taking shield damage is something that should be considered yet I never see it. I thought that maybe the terran loses more from constantly repairing than the actual worth of an scv? | ||

If you have 6 dragoons and they don't have a sieged tank yet you should pop a couple scvs and go in, surround the bunker so no more scvs can reach it and destroy it, by the time that's happened though they really should have a tank out and be able to hold by sieging it on the cliff and using scvs to block the goons. | ||

It counts shields on all protoss buildings even if you EMP it? What about zerg buildings which are damaged? | ||

What about zerg buildings which are damaged? It does 2/3 of the maximum hit points which counts both shields and health, even if it has been EMP'd. If a zerg building has lost a 3rd of its HP or more then it will die. | ||

Same for units? Most will always get 500? | ||

That's correct. I think all units take 500 damage, IIRC the BC is the only unit that can survive a direct hit. | ||

It does 2/3 or 500 damage whichever is higher, im pretty sure any building thats been nuked once, even if healed will always die to the 2nd nuke(not 100% on that one though) | ||

So basically you take away half health and then take away 2/3 with nuke = destruction. What is the radius of nuke and is it same damage across the radius? | ||

Thank you! EDIT: I went ling runby when his first vulture came out and I scouted the 2 fac ahead of time, which I didn't do in the previous 2 fac game, this probably helped. | ||

Should be sim city with hydra den sunkens and your 3rd hat before you get mutas out tbh. If you try to skimp and he 2fact runbys you basically die. no joke | ||

He made it look like he was going 1 fac because he moved out with 4 marines 1 vulture and denied further scouting. I was at 3 base 3 hatch when I saw this, so I put up a sunk in my natural, went hydras. He comes in with siege tanks, marines, vultures, followed up by Goliath, and even a vessel, but that was once he expanded. I couldn't do shit. I'm guessing I should have gone muta at some point, but his early 2 fac attack had fucked me before I could even afford to add a spire. TL;DR what does Z do against 2 fac if they already have 3 bases? I don't think you need "tl;dr" for one paragraph. I would recommend not double-expanding if you scout any kind of one-base play. There is a wide variety of tech paths terran can take, such as 2-rax + tank push, 2-port wraith, 1-port dropship, 2-fact vultures, and so on, all of which will be impossible to defend with three bases and only three hatcheries. If you see a CC first and want to double-expand, it can be a bit risky, but by all means, go for it if you want to, because the terran will take a bit longer to develop any sort of attack. tl;dr: Don't get 3 bases if the terran has one base. | ||
