I think you're talking about 7 o'clock right? I see what you mean Kwark. I should move the entire wall-in down 1. I'll change it later when I have time.
Super serious.

i put my othello formations up at iccup here: http://sc.iccup.com/iccalbum/203/

i think all of mine are better than geno's.

problems with geno's:
5:00 lings break through probes, run behind minerals never getting hit by cannons. too many get through

1:00 the two cannons don't support each other. too wide open. lings kill the bottom cannon and run behind minerals. the SS of mine is incorrect. the top left cannon should be one matrix to the right so it supports the blocking probes better. it can still cover the neutral building from that position

10:00 again just cannon placement. mine has both cannons supporting the blocking probes better and it also has one cannon that'll kill lings trying to run behind minerals

7:00 geno didn't give 7 but mine is a little weird. this position sucks. basically you block with probes between nex and gate and you block your ramp. zerg can kill the top left cannon, but the other is still in good position. it can cover everything, including your ramp. it's likely he'll die trying to get up your ramp rather than attack the top left cannon anyway

remember you can kill the neutral buildings later to let your units come out easier


NonY I really like your 1, 10, and 7 o clock FE layouts, but at the 5 oclock one wouldn't you need 4 or 5 probes to cover? There's the gaping hole between the cannon and the neutral building, there's the hole between the cannon and pylon, and there's a hole between the pylon and gateway. Is your screenshot wrong? Or am I reading it wrong or something?

Othello is motw this week so I need to get these FE's right lol.

I just started a game without learning them first to wing it, and found when I went to build my nexus that my gateway was slightly in the way and immediately alt>QQ'd lol....

They can't pass under your forge there, but yes, 5 is the hardest to block properly. You need like 3-4 probes still, even if you count that in. I tried a lot of different setups at Othello 5...I must go to sleep now (early class), but should I forget to add my pictures (WCG practice) to this thread in an effort to contribute, someone could be kind and remind me . They're the "old" WCG mappack maps (Troy, Blue Storm - covered here - , Othello, Andromeda), all starting position naturals.

Edit: a justified bump imo, this topic is pretty resourceful.

I actually made one just now that only needs 3, but all these stupid pcx converters cost money and the cracks are terrible.

I'll get it converted some time later and post it to see what u guys think

Might as use this thread since the question is similar.

Does anyone know how to wall for T on Python's 3 and 9 position?

Did you even try using search? It also should be in the recommended threads for the Strategy forum.

Just google Irfanview, that should solve all the easy image convertion tasks you should ever encounter. Hell, I use it to some semi-advanced stuff over Photoshop because it's way more convenient for me.

Oh and please hold me on to my promise...damn busy days lately. Maybe 2 days from now on. Or Friday. Gah

I've been doing some for recent maps which I've put here. Every one of these (so far) is copied directly from a progamer vod, though some of them aren't that great. The Chupung one doesn't really cover the back entrance, but I've found putting a probe or a pylon down that path will give you enough warning to lings sneaking behind that you can pull probes with time to spare. As always, experiment a bit.

On another note: I was planning on doing the rest of the maps and compiling them for myself, but I noticed that this thread's OP hasn't been updated since 2007. Would there be interest in a new thread? I've got the time and wouldn't mind keeping it updated.

I think the Blue Storm layouts could be improved. Here's what I came up with:

Blue Storm
+ Show Spoiler [1 o'clock] +

+ Show Spoiler [7 o'clock] +
[image loading]


The selected cannon should be built first. Pick between one of the other two, I couldn't decide which would be better. I think the cannons are a little more protected in this setup and the runby distance is a little longer.

edit: format to match my byzantium post.

Hey guys I redid the othello 5 wall-in and took a screenshot.

Here's what I did, it requires 3 probes to block effectively:

Oh now that I see that that probe on the right blocks that spot, I realize that nony's screenshot blocks it if you have the probe high enough (aka where it is in his screenshot), that's fantastic I hadn't realized that before.

I think in both cases the cannon closer to the mineral line should be build second, since it covers your probes as they're mining. I think your pylons both block gas miners, but I could be wrong.

Chupung-Ryeong

They are essentially mirrors. At 7, the probe must be there or lings will get through the forge and gateway. Just tell it to move to the forge from below and it should go there. 1 o'clock is lingproof. they have to run all the way around the gateway and between the two cannons to get to your base.

The cannons by the nexi just *barely* cover far minerals. they should be fine, unless your probe decides to mine on the other side of the patch.

*shrugs* I just figured that one should be built first because i was certain it should go there. I guess it's more of a judgement call. And I checked to make sure the gas wasn't blocked.

EDIT: I'll work on some of the more recent maps to see what I can come up with. I'll post them as I finish them.

Between the cliff and the gateway is a one-way path for lings. They can go out, but for the runby, they can't get through.

+ Show Spoiler [4 o'clock] +
[image loading]

+ Show Spoiler [7 o'clock] +
[image loading]

+ Show Spoiler [11 o'clock] +

EDIT: Instead of quadruple-posting, I'll just edit this one until someone comments.

Destination

Probe is required or else lings will get through.

+ Show Spoiler [6 o'clock] +
[image loading]
Probe is there to prevent lings from going between the pylon and gateway. Not needed, but perhaps useful.

NOTE: gas is not covered with either of these layouts. Improvements are definitely welcomed.

Medusa coming next.

Centric, on your 7 Chupung Ryeung, why not move the pylon and lower cannon down 1, then swap the forge and gate?
