That's a pretty pimp placement, I don't play toss that often but when I do I'll have to incorporate this ^^

The bottom left gateway blocks dragoon path, so I'm killing it I think now I'll work on how to make the gateways have room between them so if they drop me I'm not fucked | ||

Way to bump, Lucas -_-;; you can clearly see a dragoon hitting it... BTW, is it any area-efficient to use the old 'fastest map possible' linear style? Straight up and down, or to the side? | ||

I've gotten lazy and use this for every matchup, if I try to maximize Gateways from one Pylon I find that eventually I have to clump my Pylons in a huge ugly crystallized mass so I decided it was cleaner and safer to use "FMP line" style | ||

It's only drawback is the 14 core build, it's abit tricky, since in that case your first pylon is not the diamond center. | ||

I use the vertical setup as well; as I add more and more gateways there's quite abit of space near your in base mineral only natural to place gateways horizontally. The other thing vertical gateway do'ers should fear is that certain setups glitch goons out, all zeals to path through, but trap ht and dt. It's the most annoying thing ever, and is almost insta loss when you dt rush. | ||

Just make sure the pylons are placed thoughtfully early/mid game and gateway area should be made naturally. In python, I can get around 12-20(?) gateways in my base, perhaps one or two at my nat. | ||

A comlumn of three pylon can support upto four gateways to the side, and for both, eight. Once one gets used to this, then he or she can place 4 more on each corner. Two Pylons still do this, doesn't it? | ||

What I do most games is I place first pylon next to nexus, gateway next to it so units don't move through probes or around everything. Then I place core next to gas and tech buildings around minerals. All the following pylons, usually from 3rd or 4th one, are placed around the base for gateway placements and vision purposes. | ||
