Any thoughts on a low-ground wall? Either two depot or one depot, if only to keep the goon out. I\\\'ve tried it a couple times and it seems like an okay idea, but don\\\'t know completely yet. Any general advice on overall game plan on this map? The bridges make flanking easier for protoss so are there any good pushing tips? Any particular style that is better fit to this map? Thanks. | ||

basicly theres no cliff so fac/port becomes worthless and tosses know this generally fast offensive or spider mines are the only things that can make them not take a really quick expansion on those maps you can fast expo yourself but if the toss has enough info he can expo quicker and take the advantage in a way that he wouldnt be able to on LT so basicly I'm saying if you can't wall and theres no cliff, you have to build marines anyway so learn to play fast offensive or fake it, you need it in a lot of situations on such a map | ||

Since you can push trough the mineral only expansion and a toss cant do a shit in there, and the way leads straight to your main.. but otherwise it's very hard. are you a korean guy? if you wonna use the worst possible build on every map because they have surprise factor and hope u'll get lucky, be my guest | ||

Dropship is totally useless on LT unless the protoss does some stupid build and you can take advantage of it. | ||

but hey thats not the problem, since it is the same on LT I am just saying that you can go ds and got an adventage, and no it maight not be the most effective strat but since a toss dont expekt it you can pull if off!! thats the whole question. | ||

I mean far away ramps, far away mains, no wall-in, no turret in the middle, no cliff. Come on. Not very serious. | ||

Do this by "faking" an attacking of 4 or so marines with a tank and possibly mine upgrade. Remember, this is done just so toss goes defensive and goes robo double gate b4 he expos, giving you a slight advantage with your fast expo. Macro whore it up with 5 facs by minute 8 and start the first push around 10. Now since it's open ground and you won't have turret cover, zealot bombs absolutely devastate your tanks in siege mode and make your vultures victims to waves of goons. This is why I usually go 4 fac + starport, just so I can make a few wraiths to stop the zealots from popping out on top of my tanks. As longs as you keep those tanks sieged and match his macro, you'll be able to overpower toss ground on luna. Very nice But I prefer to build fast armory and +1 attack and 2-3 goliaths with good micro it will be more effective than Wrights... Armory 100M 50Gas +1 100M 100Gas So u los only 150 gas and U have a +1 siege tanks take 75 dmg. = More goons blows ^^ If u play starport u lose 100 Gas for Starport and 100 Gas for each wright and u haven't a +1 attack.... And always goliaths kill few zealots. Btw. Playing a Gundam fake Push is very good idea, but u must remember to build a bunker in your fast natural expansion, becasue good toss will make a killer counter with his 2 gate ranged goons. | ||

As longs as you keep those tanks sieged and match his macro, you'll be able to overpower toss ground on luna. I dissagree with you in a few points. 1. All tosses will go robo anyway. 2. 2/3 tosses will go 2 gate anyway. 3. When the toss see your fast exp with obb he will make his second exp. And you are still behind in 1 exp. And wraigths? sry to say it but worst ide ever. And you will never be able to macro like a toss with 1 less expansion if you are the same skill lvl. And asap you get your second a good toss wil go and get another main. On a map like this you MUST harass him in anyway, vultures tank drop, w-ever. Just make sure that he has troubles expanding while you take your second. And GroT I really dont think you have any idea of how the game is played, and hmm I do think you can wall on Luna. And your point "the toss has alot of different openings so you need alot of marines" that doesent hold either, he cant goon rush you since your tanks will have siege cuz you go drop. So the only build left is 3 gate goon with a shuttle and 4 zeal? well that sets the toss back way to much and a good terran know how to fend it off, and anyway if he does it and not succed then you are way ahead of him in expansions. So I wonder what speciall protoss opening you are talking about? | ||
