and in tvp its important to fast take 2nd nat. then push slowly if toss has storms, and if not u just can go him with all army (if 4 full hotkeys and toss hasnt storms or carriers he is pretty dead) | ||

1) you can start pumpin MASS vults and ABUSE mines... i mean, just mine EVERYWHERE... i think a lot of T's just spread mines when they're pushing... i mean, mine everywhere... over n over again...they're free and there's no other effective way of keeping a tab on that huge middle ground... 2) it forces P to take another main because you now have 3 base and (assuming P has double expanded vs your first expo) P needs to catch up. Harass that shit w/vults. If he sends troops to defend it, harass his nat. If he defends both, advance your push as much as you can and possibly take another base, because his troops will be slightly out of position and will need a few crucial seconds to set up a flank (during which you abuse mines again and set up your push). If you r playing a decent P, don't try to take the game too early. Luna is possibly the worst map ever for T becuase it limits its strategic possibilities in so many different ways. You can't wall, you must always start relatively safe. You cant utilize most rushes cuz the bases r so far (assuming P didnt start off risky). You cant quick push often because you cant turret and the middle ground is fucking huge with many bridges for flanking. SO just have a list of objectives and take each one carefully and securely. THe list of objectives usually goes (in no specific order, it depends on each game situation): taking your expo, taking additional expos, controlling his choke, controlling his bridge... yeah these are very basic concepts. But in Luna, you have to go back to fundamentals to win (strong macro/micro, setting up traps and diversions) | ||

Otherwise, if you expand I'd just be really aware and try to prevent any expansions in a far away position ( if they take their nat and min only im happy) run a lot around with vultures and place some mines everywhere a bit in the evil huge plain in the middle, to see exactly what your odds are, from where he's flanking, just to see everything. Dont say its a waste of mines, cause you cant really use them all up around your push cause toss really can choose when to attack your push on luna and from where, so the mines really delay some parts of flanking, break attacks, make them come in lines and that sort of stuff, really try to get him off the ideal unit use they really seem to obtain easily on luna. I wouldnt worry about carriers alot, but I would worry about arbiters, cause they are really strong on luna imo. thats all the advice I can give you, I find tvp on luna hard myself, you can decide if its something you can use, eventhough I think you're a better terran than me | ||

I noticed this too. I am considering going for tank drop on luna because no one seems to do it ever. I'll probably try if I can get some time to play tonight. could probably take out a lot of probes | ||

Well, that's not so strange since Luna really limits your options a T, in all mu. I got accused of beeing a puissy (that's how he spelled it) yesterday in a TvZ because I turtled a little bit after my early 5 rines 4 bats 3 medics rush against his sunken line failed. But really, you don't have much options and this applys especially to TvP I think. | ||
