If you get 15+ scv on minerals, it doesn't matter anymore.
All you have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to you

It depends on the player I guess.. if he was a newbie, you might have lived through it I guess. If he was good, I think you would have died. Most players drop 2 zealots with their reaver, and a reaver would have came a lot faster than a 4 dt drop I think. You had a couple mines and a tank.. the tank wasn't even covering the left side of your base, and you would have taken damage, but if he was a stupid player, he might not look for vulnerable spots.

Hasuwar, you dont think a good terran player will notice that there are some units missing from his force? or what are the 2 zealots doing at his ramp?

And normally, protoss players dont go reaver if you wall in.


Walling slows down eco a little, but it can be managed..

Gundam Rush = Bamboo Terran's Rush -> Bamboo Rush

I think Gundam also does some interesting stuff with taking scvs off gas and whatnot to get stuff out faster, not sure about it though.

i think that most of the time the toss goon rushes, he's going dt or reaver, and the rush is to disguise that.

hasuwar you're probably right, i haven't had that much trouble with reavers so far though.. (the way I scouted, my turrets//tank//mines would have been there by the time rvr got there) but I guess if I wasn't covering the left, yeah, damn you've got a point reaver's don't generally make a huge difference though.. if they kill more than 6 scv while you had a tank waiting, you're fucking up i think..
No plz only LT.. no not TvT.. no.. ok cancel?

wow, I really think you're helluva wrong. I tested it with 36 SCV mining from one main in LT, then with 48 scv mining from one main, and the latter got significantly more $$$.. I did the test twice to make sure i hadn't fucked up too

Ahahahahaahahahahahaha

Btw I dont believe that with 4+ scvs on a patch its not max...
MadFrog : In my opinion, the biggest reason why WC3 is dying is because it is not such a great game as Brood War is.

hehe mine 2 patches with 3 scv's and you have *just* enough.

15 scv on 8 patches is more than enough obviously no-one will stop building scv when they have 15 on mineral though.

On and grotfang, did you try it 5 times and calculate the average? The difference is probably at the beginning because you gather at different patches or w/e
All you have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to you

Twisted, no. I tested this also and up to ~28 SCV's gives a reasonable rise in income. After that income still rises, but VERY slowly (per SCV added).

it would be nice if you could post more accurate results such as:


minerals gathered per minute with:

13 miners = 3000
14 miners = 3100

and that stuff.... someone plz do it ^-^

23 t mins and 3 at gas = pvp. So is it a difference with a svc? And is that the idea after gundam rush?. Getting max mining capacity and the rest units?

Twisted, every test i did was with a "fresh" mineral patch on one of the MAIN camps of a wgtour(5) temple


it could have been 2 control groups of scv vs 3 control groups, or 3 control groups vs 4 (i think it was even the last)

and that would make it 36 scv against 48!

I don't remember that well, but it was something like:

group 1: 1000$ mined at xxx time
group 2: 1300$ mined at same time


i don't think a 30% or even 20% bonus is small, do you?

BTW: why does gundam attack enemy probes with vultures in a "sneak" move EVERY single game, even if he has so much probes already, if that doesn't affect the p's income? no.. you really get more money from so much scv or probes..
No plz only LT.. no not TvT.. no.. ok cancel?

wtf? how does walling slow down eco when the buildings cost the same? will minerals magically appear somewhere else if the buildings aren't walling you in?

he would do that even if it didn't have an effect on the p's income, because it would later in the game when the p has to transfer.

i tested scvs mining before, i dont remember the exact specifics, but it is hella worth it all the way up to 3 scvs per patch and even more after that (i stopped testing because i was only looking into lower amounts of scvs). i might have the actual results in a txt file somwhere. i'll check and add them to this post if i find them.
