More specifically, when should the citadel be built? Thoughts on whether to get templars? How many gates? Is it better to slowly build up your gate numbers, or build like four or six at once? Just so I don't get flamed, I'm average to above average. I'm a little better at micro than macro, and my apm is around 130, peaks around 170 late in the game. | ||

expand right before you attack control properly and you cannot lose | ||

only do this if you are WAY ahead in unit count and you're absolutely sure you can defend it until you can start pumping from 3 bases | ||

Also learn how to spell DUAL Don't listen to these newbs, if you have 2 gates, double expand RIGHT AWAY to your natural/min only(at most spots this is the best strategy) and get a shuttle with 4 zeals while getting a citadel/more gates. Cut probe production more if he does a fast 4 fact push, if a slower 5 fact buildup, wait longer and power a bit harder. do NOT build cannons, this is the most retarded thing, you will always lose to push if you do this; you'll need the extra units from your gates to break the push, and once u break it/or they expand again, u should then add a forge and take another 1 or 2 exps depending on the situation. | ||

It all depends on the timing,if you double exp to fast you won't have the same amount of probes and a double expand won't pay itself off fast enough for it to be an asset vs a push,plus its alot harder to defend 3 mineral lines vs harass. double exp to fast -> sparse probes,still works,but generally isn't worth it slightly fast 1 exp-> solid,safe,and your probes will be at optimum numbers to run at 2 mineral lines,when the timing is right expand again. if you want build orders or any info beyond that,check a replay | ||

the thing is, if you only exp once, the terran has no obligation to attack you. They can sit in their main and mass for a while, and by the time they come out, they'll have a dominating ground force, and you won't have carriers in time to stop it. If you're expanding once, terran will have expanded BEFORE you, and they'll have an econ advantage. Double expand forces them to attack, because if they don't you'll have a huge advantage. | ||

however, if you play wgtour, i advise you DO cannon your expos from like the very start! those bastards do nothing but vulture harass, whether it looks like it's gonna work or not  | ||

double exp vs nada or a pro,see what happens. and froz i completely understand what you're saying,but its not the only way,and its far from the safest. | ||
