trusting (it seems rather convincing) this the increase is 96, but thats over 60 game ticks, so thats 60/1.8 seconds i think. ask excal

Liquid Drone, I am sorry. I accidentally inserted the difference between 16 probes and 24 probes because I remembered that number from a conversation earlier today. The correct number is 96 as radiaL said.

hm

that list seems very weird, because the increase between 22 and 24 is 96, while the increase between 20 and 22 is 40. the increase between 20 and 22 should logically be larger than the increase between 22 and 24.

although he does explain that as well. either way he shows that more than 24 is a complete and utter waste.

Erm drone I think somebody posted the waiting thingy in this thread. 23 or 24 Probes + he claims stop running around looking for free mins, they just wait for their turn to harvest. If that's true (haven't tested it, but at least there seems to be a stop running around bordervalue) this means all of a sudden you always have a probe at each minerals, which is optimum. The exact number this happens should be an unsteadyness in the minerals / (probes * time) function and give you an extra reward which classifys pheered.users strategy as at least a local optimum strategy from a gaming theory point of view ;-)
You go to war with the Army you have, not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later time.

FYI your place isnt even close to top 5 USA, I can think of at least 30 american players who would beat you PvP without even trying.

who the fuck is [G]max_power and and why is everyone still trying to prove him wrong, he has no basis for his arguments other than "i can beat people while constantly making probes" and when all the evidence and opinions from good players contradict what he says he just goes around flaming people

No; according to some people, you are the dumbass newbie. There's a difference between stopping probes once you expand and making 100 supply of probes with 5 probes to a mineral.

3 more goons wins the game very often if your timing is good.

more probes are only useful if you expand. if you both expand and make additional probes, someone who does not expand and stops probes after ~24 will attack you and kill you.


still eri, you would have to totally have flawless production because well, having 300-400 minerals stacked is common and it also means 3 dragoons more, what i mean is that people should focus more on other things rather than cutting probe production.

When you cut probe production is that you dont have any other "flaw" so you try to squeese the last drop of economy for an advantage while not many people have that flawless play, i say dont stop unless you are Nal_Ra

Stop talking shit cuase i left your stupid shitty clan, If the bo5 is pure pvp, i will win 3-0

However I am not saying i can beat you best of 5 pvt because, well i dont even want to play you

your mind works like this

1. Do something gay
2. when it fails turtle till you can win.

im going to have to side with fayth here
im not the best player ever nor do i know more about bw than eri but pvp is my best mu and im pretty good at it, and i make more or less constant probes even after my expo for a bit, and then go goon/lot off like 7-8 gates - having more probes can make up for late expos i think when you macro hard x.x

yes i think you know what i meant.

to the guys flaming me - you are not worth my time.Maybe you should reread the 5 pages of replies and see yourself that there are two groups of ppl - ones that make 25 probes and others that make 10 more.I am one who makes 35+ at one base.And im pretty good at it.
