That rule is used most of the time already and i don't see why people don't use it all the time 8rax = rax with 8 supply 8 rax = eight barracks (without a space, it kind of belongs to the word so it determines the sort of it) | ||

FBH/Savior spoiler + Show Spoiler + note that FBH lost his nat, as his turrets were really spread out, trying to cover all that ground. It seemed though that the vulture timing allowed FBH to prevent the second assim from dying, so if there is a way to protect both main and nat, you could then transition to pure bionic and just dropship across the gap, if the zerg kills assims later. But again, how to secure both bases on that map.... I dunno, and I have no idea how you could 1 base on that map without getting overrun by a zerg having free control over the rest of it. | ||

Oh I didn't notice that. It's definitely a much shorter distance than on Heartbreak Ridge for instance. As far as I can see, it looks like mutalisks can go back and forth but the marine's can't, because not only is the distance too long, its also very slightly curved. Does a terran need to be able to transfer marines back and forth to beat mutalisks? Or is it possible to have each base be a seperate turtle? | ||

The problem isn't the first six Mutalisks, it's the fact that Zerg will be continually adding more Mutalisks and poking around, dealing damage in any hole in your defense. As such, your defense needs to be somewhat united and you need to be able to merge and split armies as necessary. Further, if there is no possibility of a counter attack whatsoever, Zerg can invest everything into Mutalisks and expansions, giving him more Mutalisks than usual and compounding the issue. | ||

So if you can build a refinery there, the choke WILL reopen. (unless they made the gas unbuildable like someone mentioned) lol... if you could simply rebuild the gas then it wouldn't be that big of a deal if your opponent killed them. Map makers aren't that dumb. | ||

 UpMaGiC/BaBy/FlashEDIT: Err, Flash can probably handle things. The skill gap between the players is really wide in that case. | ||

I think wraith builds might be a popular option here. It gives you the mobility to take on mutalisks but I don't know how it would fair against hydra builds. It would put zerg on the defensive so you could both defend against mutas and take your nat, and then you might be able to stall for enough time to break out and cause some damage. The map is just so troublesome. Just the map and the initial short air distances reminded me a lot of Raid Assault so Terrans started using Wraiths on that map so I think that might have a chance of being the highest probability build on this map too.

More FBH/Savior spoilers + Show Spoiler + Yea, I was really impressed by how FBH played, and I'm not an FBH fan. He got beat really badly but his decision making was really not that bad for how his planned vulture harass didn't pan out and how he was locked into using slow golaiths to catch fast mutas over that large of a distance. That gol han bang was reallly his only chance | ||

Trust the forum veterans, you ideology doesn't work the way you think it does. yeah it is just plain annoying the way he explain things, the way he thinks he is so damn right, the way he thinks he knows something about sc but actually has no clue at all and the way he writes. just annoying to discuss things with this guy. | ||

Hmm, how would things turn out of the terran mined out that patch earlier in the game, before zerg got mutas? How badly would it screw up timings? bioboyAT: sorry. I'm trying to change here. I hope this post doesn't give the impression that I think I know everything about sc. | ||
