There's different BOs on liquipedia. Your better off doing 11/11 for the faster factory unless you wanna 12/12 and just play defensive. Personally if I'm not walling I'm FDing I'm not a huge fan of the 3marine siege expo. Just make sure you have decent kiting micro, | ||

When should I switch my focus from Econ. and tech. and focus on macroing army. Depends on yours and your opponent openings, assuming your opponent went for some sort of 1fact expansion, or rax expo, you should take a 3rd with 3 or 4 gates depending on how late your observers are. | ||

When should I switch my focus from Econ. and tech. and focus on macroing army. i actually think if he siege expands and you manage to prevent scouting, you can get your third base before you add on another gateway. gate count and timing comes with practice. usually, gates are added before the 3rd completes so that you have that monster eco to support then just in time. | ||

Or is it ok for me just to put mines around the map and transition into timing push or flash build. | ||

the mines from the first 2 vultures should be used defensively if you dont push out and you can move the third out to check out when he expands and stuff. | ||

Keep in mind he had DOZENS of spores there was no hole for me to poke through with shuttles to get at him. its quite hard to give a proper answer without a replay. sorry. | ||

If you have the money and think you can catch them off guard then cloaked wraiths (scan + snipe the observer) can take out a lot of carriers too. Goliaths are you're #1 weapon against carriers though. | ||

Lurkers get scanned right away, Multitasks get killed by the marines, and Zerglings get killed by the tanks. Are queens the only option? This is not a simple question, with a simple answer. | ||

To be honest you should to get some map control and get some mines out on the map. While you can do a 'defensive' fd you still need to push out a bit because if you just sit in your nat with mines, in my experience a decent toss will be able to defuse mines and you'll have to try to micro him. So if he 2 gates you can push out against his first 3/4 goons but once his next wave of goon come out I'd retreat and then sent vults to mine the path to your base. You can definitely transition into a timing push with either a siege expo or FD. Siege will give you faster adding factories and fd will give you units early for some psuedo 1/2 fact push against like 1 gate triple nex. I find siege into 3 base will lead into more tanks earlier and you can creep out more, and fd is more vult heavy and you'll have both ups for it sooner(speed after 2nd fact and you already got mines) and you'll run around the map more with vults and slowly build up tanks. | ||

I'm thinking of buying SC:BW maybe slightly after Christmas or something, and I wonder if as long as I got players to play with on SC2 BW mods it's pretty much the same. Or should I just throw down 15€ on the table and buy BW? | ||
