Assuming you've run in to lurkers that do not have any backup, how do you properly (and quickly) split your marine force to minimize casualties? Do you know of any FPVODs in which you can see an example?

What is the most lurkers you want to engage with a simple M&M army before it's time to consider bringing in tanks?

I know you use patrol for vulture micro.
Do you do the same with goliaths and tanks? Is it the same key for air/ground with goliaths?

How do you sleep at night?

I mean.. you play a race where you have super weapons at tier two. Spider mines (nevermind the obvious reference to SPIDERMAN) bury themselves under the ground (DT?) to become invisible then they literally get up and run at anything that gets near them and deal more damage than any 1 unit in the entire zerg army save for an infested marine.. oh and they do that damage to multiple units.

Your tanks do as much damage as an ultralisk.. but wait? They then decide to sit the fuck down and deal more than double the damage and oh yeah I almost forgot: they hit everything on the map. I believe they call it the arclite cannon. I know this, because I wake up each night screaming and clawing at the wall to the sound of a tank sieging. That is just when I sleep.. normally I don't sleep because cloaked air units are on my mind smashing overlords and raping my mineral line cause a terran felt like being cheesy..something a zerg player doesn't even have the option of save for "making too much of 1 unit (lings)" and praying the T is a fucking moron.

But hey, it isn't like you have nuclear weapons. Nah, they wouldn't give you that and and a giant air unit capable oflaunching a super weapon and hitting everything else with weapons stronger than anything the Zerg has save for again: the infested marine (which has to kill itself to do that much damage mind you). Nah they wouldn't do that.

Hey dan, how do you sleep at night? How do you sleep knowing that vultures out run everything in the game? How do you sleep knowing that marines, medics and maybe a science vessel or two (really only needed to find the zerg units smart enough to hide in the dirt from a terran army) are needed to kill a sophisticated, mixed and advanced zerg army? How do you sleep?

Better yet.. how angry must you be when you play with this race and lose. How angry? Would you logically assume the imbalance is otherwise? You must. You must do that or else you'd come to the scary realization that this entire game.. the whole game's concept is about stealing wins from terran players. That's all we are trying to do. I mean you have a fucking decade of terran players dominating kespa.

How

Do

you

Sleep.

Amazing troll. Just amazing .

Anyways, Artosis:
How do you *not* dominate Terran and still win the game? Every single ZvT I *ever* play is either complete domination from start to finish, or I get quick contained/lose entire army/get raped in general, and on the backfoot for the whole game, until I lose.

What does an even, swinging ZvT consist of?

I have a few noobish questions:

1) How do you macro the 8+ rax you have in lategame tvz? It takes all my concentration assigning reinforcements to control groups and keeping my vessels away from scourge and my marines away from lurkers. When I move my screen to my rax, my army in the field often gets owned. I usually end up losing with 3000 min in the bank. I have ~135 apm.

2) How do you secure your third in python tvp against the 1a2a3a protoss army? If I split my army to cover both the huge ramp and my nat, I'll have the entire toss force against half my army. If I concentrate my army, they attack where it's not.

3) More generally... any general tips for how to place your army to keep map control? If I'm not containing someone, I'm usually at a loss for how to defend my spread out bases.

4) Can somebody link a good guide on turret placement? I can't count how many tvp games I've lost where I get a nice contain up, and then get my base owned by reaver harass slipping through my swiss-cheese turret field.

4) Maybe swiss cheese was the wrong word. I can do the turret perimeter... with that and a vessel I'm awesome against recalls. What gives me trouble is the early shuttle with the first reaver and 2 lots, when you've just got your ebay up and don't have time/min to build too many turrets.

TvP on andromeda. I want to push when the toss gets his third, but I cant see if he is getting his third because its up his ramp. How should I best deal with this? Early acad or something?
