Unless the map has a very small choke I don't think there's much use for it because by the time you would have that many supply depots(probably 4ish) a baneling bust would have already came. Of course if the map permits it you can consider it. I've tried it a few times, but it didn't really help a whole lot.

Nice post. I still occasionally impress myself by messing up my wallin even when it's so much easier in sc2.

I play terran and have got the basic wall-offs down... But this post has given me some new ideas! Thanks a lot for the info, you did a great job! Hahaha I can't believe some of the wall-offs I've missed!

Needs to include walling with Rax/Factory to prevent Baneling breaks and perhaps at the bottom of a ramp.

I think it should be added that if you are in a situation where you feel that you actually need to add multiple layers of wall to protect against banelings then you should probably just invest those resources in tanks instead. With a few sieged tanks, your wall needs to be exactly zero buildings thick to be safe from banelings.

Also something I found to be very helpful in the early game is to hotkey your wall depots to a key that you are not using early game. If you are leaving your gate open you can swiftly close it at the first sight of a bad color on the minimap. Obviously as soon as the game progresses a bit you won't need this keybind anymore. You can also use your depot gate as a proxy for the sentry's forcefield. Invite your opponent in and then close the wall once half his units are inside.

i am not necessarily suggesting this as a main bass protection, but also for of something like a mid-field wall for area control like i have seen on a few live streams.

I am trying to learn Terran wall-in with Rax and a Factory. I am having problems doing it on Lost Temple. Are there some maps where you just can't do it? Some pics with various chokes using Rax/Factory would be awesome!

Thanks in advance

you can also wall in at the bottom of ramps with 2 buildings, worth mentioning ^^

rax+cc walls are also easy and effective if you happen to be FE'ing. I dont have any of my beta replays or I could post some screenies (although Im sure most people know how it looks).

I don't like your wall on kulas ravine.

you don't have high ground in kulas ravine making your base a bit more vulnerable as terran.
this is compensated for by the fact that the bridge is long and narrow.
If you build the tradition 1 rax 2 supply wall a little further into your base then it forces the enemy into the choke while you get the concave with your ranged units.
if you build 1 rax 1 supply in the choke you're giving that advantage to your opponent.

unfortunately all those wall ins will fail against a proper bling bust. is this wall in correct against a bling bust? or is there something else i can do to it. i always hate bottom right ramps x_x

i feel like i can shortern the lenght it takes me to finish this wall. i dont put any addons till the factory goes down and complete the wall.

+ Show Spoiler +

i put down my rax @ 12, ebay @ 13, factory as soon as i have 100 gas. anyone wanna lend some advice?

also, there are some silly spots on the new maps in 1v1 like the Xel Naga Cave and the Quadrant maps. they arent the standard ramp size. the block units are in a different form. ill post pic of wat i mean soon.
