How on earth do you 8 forge? I ALWAYS have 10 supply when I start my forge because that's just the way it works out and well.. you need the pylon up before you even build the forge in the first place... | ||

Bad build order. You never 8 forge. You adapt your FE build order depending on what the zerg is doing. | ||

I must warn you they are not very practical but they are good for keeping scouts out. Also, i did not find a way to practically wall off 12's nat without completley walling it off from the owner of the expo. without further delay... + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i40.tinypic.com/2rhmo28.jpg) 5 o'clock ![[image loading]](http://i39.tinypic.com/2w30sg1.jpg) 4 o'clock (this allows 1 o'clock to access base so not advised) ![[image loading]](http://i44.tinypic.com/23lxcvk.jpg) 4 o'clock again (blocking both entrances but impractical) ![[image loading]](http://i42.tinypic.com/2564so8.jpg) 1 o'clock (blocks entrance from 4's nat) ![[image loading]](http://i42.tinypic.com/23idu1s.jpg) 12 o'clock (cannot wallin the expo) ![[image loading]](http://i40.tinypic.com/2en00p1.jpg) 11 o'clock ![[image loading]](http://i39.tinypic.com/26451m8.jpg) 9 o'clock 7 o'clock (will edit with) ![[image loading]](http://i43.tinypic.com/1zybgvd.jpg) 6 o'clock | ||

From what I can make out, you need to kill something to get out at 9 o'clock, 6 pylon could be placed better, 3 leaves a large gap. I can't see the ramp at 12 so it looks like it is placed to far forward. Did you test these with lings to guarantee everything that looks blocked is really blocked? And you make images like this it helps to include the nexus so people have a frame of reference, larger would be nice too. | ||

My units kept getting stuck when they moved through the probe line. That said, I don't think FE is the best build on this map anyway (judging by the few pro games we've seen so far). Lol its not. 1gate expo is 230947829347x better than forge FE... its kinda ridiculous. | ||

Heartbreak Ridge: + Show Spoiler [3 o'clock] + ![[image loading]](http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq305/o3power/untitled1.jpg) + Show Spoiler [9 o'clock] + ![[image loading]](http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq305/o3power/untitled2.jpg) Notes: - Similarly to Troy and Battle Royal, without the assimilators, nothing can pass between the geyser and the adjacent building (gateway/forge). With assimilator built though, zerglings are free to pass hence the probe I had put in the gap. I didn't try this with other units though. I didn't test if the ghost would be able to pass through the gap between building-geyser but I'm hoping you don't have to deal with that... - These wall-ins DO NOT protect you from attacks from the backdoor. You will have to carefully monitor that area for any gay backstab play of any sort. - In the 9 o'clock wall in, you can move the pylon-gateway-forge-adjacent canon 1 block to the left. This way you can block with 2 probes only even with an assimilator built. Also this will not affect gas mining. | ||

![[image loading]](http://img20.imageshack.us/my.php?image=python6.jpg) I think this wall-in on Python's 6 o'clock is better. You can block with only 2 probes and goons and archons can walk through the cannon/pylon gap. Lower level players also often seem to think their lings will reach the ramp by going left which costs them one or two lings right away. With the addition of your Cybernetics Core you can create a complete wall with 4 probes or leave two one-ling gaps, one of which is partially blocked by exiting gas probes. ![[image loading]](http://img20.imageshack.us/my.php?image=python6fullblocki.jpg) | ||

The idea was to block with probes mining in the natural. A quicker run-by will be a problem but then there's less lings to worry about. Still I think I prefer your placement. | ||

What are you talking about... just open the iccup map folder, select a map, and start a custom melee game in single player | ||
