ie. you could now put geysers to the right or below to have correct positioning of geysers relative to ramps, etc. without having a worker disadvantage for doing it | ||

That way it would require 4 workers at every location and maintain positional balance, at the cost of introducing a map quirk. ie. you could now put geysers to the right or below to have correct positioning of geysers relative to ramps, etc. without having a worker disadvantage for doing it Edit: see neobowman's post below...thanks neobowman! | ||

Also, the gas at 7:00 is made that way because that's the only position that's balanced. Any other position, they'd either have to move the mineral line or make it so you need 4 workers to mine from it effectively.

Errol's right. They made it so you need 4 workers on Katrina as well because altering the gas position there would dramatically affect the positional balance. Also, trying to play ZvZ with each gas in each main at a different position is impossible. It's either wasting or drone, or losing by one or two mutas in the muta battle. | ||
