7 pylon 8 forge -> nexus or 1 cannon(depending on zerg build) and gateway basically does it because your probes hold off very well when they surround the cannon.

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.

Guess he's listing a build for FMP or something. Forge goes down on 10 or 11 depending on map. If you're gonna get to the zergs base after righter after forge on 10, delay your forge and scout if the zerg instead. 10 forge if it's a big map or w/e.

I finally got around to getting the pictures.
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...

Any chance of someone posting walls on Lost Temple? (Specifically, I have a hard time walling at 12 o'clock - but I'd be interested to see "recommended" walls at other positions as well.)

Those images are really small. 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.

How to you propose to get you're units out?


Agreed. I did something very similar to this 1 oclock FE just spur of the moment the first time I tried God's Garden and it was terrible. 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.

Since I couldn't find one for Hearbreak Ridge, I decided to make one myself since it's motw on icc:

Heartbreak Ridge:

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.

So I'm bumping this to see if anyone has any placement suggestions for Outsider? I tried a couple, but they require a bit of well placed buildings and a lot of luck to pull off. Basically for the 1 oclock position (the easiest IMO) you can do a gateway over forge and place the cannons as I have. They defend every building including the natural mineral line. You only need 1-2 probes to block, and the matrix between the pylon and the cannon is enough for archons and dragoons to pass. The other two positions I had a bit more trouble maneuvering. The wall-ins I came up with are in the following screenshots, but for the one at 9 o'clock I'm weary of because of that huge gap. The forge/gateway combo didn't really work in any position. Zerglings were able to get around the buildings anyway I put it. I figured it would be best to keep the gateway and the forge closer to the top since the ramp is north of the expansion. The cannons are more-or-less arbitrarily placed as I couldn't find the best position for them with the wall, which isn't perfect. You need a probe wedged between the wall and the buildings to stop zerglings from entering.

Here's what I tried, 1 and 5 aren't really improvements but 9 might be a bit better.

Wasn't really too fond of either of your 5 o'clock bases since zerglings can still pass between gas and nexus.
I tried to make one on my own. See how you find it:

Notes:
- 4 probes minimum are necessary for a perfect block
- canon placement under gateway should NOT be moved any spaces to the left since this position would be perfect for goons to exit the gateway on the left side of the canon therefore not taking the long way to the exit.

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.

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.
No I'm never serious.

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