If you 6 pool you have... 6 drones. | ||

What am I thinking, you start with 4 workers in BW >_< stupid me too much SC2 T_T And you can proxy on an island map if you are creative enough.... No, you can not proxy on Gorky Island as Protoss. Gates would still be within your own base. | ||

toss...not sure whether the "build nexus along cliff side" to evict probe outside the cliff works without extensive research on building placement beforehand. Then after getting the probe out you cannot build gateways along the cliff edge to cliff walk zeals in on gorky island due to unbuildable ice... and this shit wont work on latest BW version which everyone uses now. so i guess zerg wins | ||

Considering that a worker has got a potential of producing resources. And if talking about early game harassment, how many workers should a dt kill to justify himself before his death? I heard that if a dt kills 3 workers, it's alright, and it looks like so in terms of minerals, but! workers cost no gas, whereas a dt requires 100 gas. Or gas isn't counted since generally this is an endless resource? The same question is about reaver, if 5 workers are killed, than the reaver is killed (shuttle is saved), is this a good trade? | ||

I think this is a good question, I think that if the Zealot kills 1 drone then dies it can be debatable whether it was a good trade but I think in ZvP this would be the only questionable trade, if a DT kills 3 workers then dies I would say this is an equal trade. The question about the reaver killing 5 workers then dying and shuttle living, I believe this would be a good trade as that is 250 minerals , and will effect the races economy untill he can catch up, so I would say that is a good trade as well. I think the most effecient situation would be in PvZ and PvP, I feel it wouldn't effect in PvT as much for the Terran to only lose 5 scv's. | ||

The same question is about reaver, if 5 workers are killed, than the reaver is killed (shuttle is saved), is this a good trade? depends on the matchup and stage of the game i would argue that a dt killing only 3 workers is not a good trade at all. 3 workers is pretty negligible compared to the amount of information you give away (your whole tech tree). once they realise you have dt and they put up the necessary defenses or tech to stop you, then youre suddenly behind due to either economy or army strength. 5 workers for a reaver is the same. a reaver is supposed to help in fights with their massive damage. any harrassment you accomplish is a bonus (although sometimes necessary if you need to catch up). if you throw away a reaver for 5 workers in a situation where that reaver would make or break your next engagement, its a bad trade. 8 workers might be a different story (2 scarabs probably kill around 8 workers at least in a non-stacked mineral line), since the opponent cant risk charging into you hoping to win a fight due to a missing reaver because if they lose they dont have the economy to replenish their army. but 5 workers i would straight up send my shit down to your doorstep asap. | ||

I would classify it as against the rules, but not ethically reprehensible as long as you are simply reassigning keys and not using macros or anything. | ||
