AmericanUmlaut Germany2594 Posts January 28 2011 14:37 GMT #122 A random point, related to the comment above about better Maynarding: It has occurred to me that the typical way to Maynard (move half your mining workers as the expo goes up) is actually not the most efficient way to go. Since mineral efficiency per worker is about the same up to sixteen workers, it should be somewhat more efficient to always leave sixteen workers behind, then rally worker production from your town hall to your expansion until the expo reaches sixteen workers. In an actual game, this probably only makes sense when Maynarding to your natural, since it's a bad idea to have a slow trickle of workers marching across the map (begging to be sniped and advertising your expansion's position), but for the purposes of this excersize, I suspect it would improve times by a bit.

Kornholi0 Canada634 Posts January 29 2011 09:47 GMT #127 Anyone try doing this as terran with just solid CC building with no supplies (minus first supply)? Sort of like the 4 OC build but more like the 8 OC Build? If you constantly build command centers you'll never get supply blocked and you can exponentially add up units. Same for zerg but without larva injects it still takes 7 seconds per larva. It takes 25 overlords (24 without your original overlord) to get 200 supply off of one base. You get 1 extra food per hatchery you have so you can cut that down by 1 overlord if you get 6 bases (23.75 overlords to get 200 food). I was also wondering if gas was included? Because that just means you have to make 17 workers make an expo and just saturate each base with 24 workers instead of 30, making it possible to almost saturate 8 bases. I sorta went on a tangent but this exercise doesn't seem to be beneficial, its sort of like "I got 200/200 workers" but it doesn't mean anything if I have to build structures and units to defend those structures. So what if you can get 200/200 in 10 minutes, you'll die by the 6 minute mark anyways! I'd say take the challenge but include building timings and such etc. Without building any units. So like doing your regular build without making units. Get to 200/200 with 6-7 bases and check how many structures you needed to make just to satisfy that income. Then you can benchmark, if you can get 3 bases up in under 10 minutes you can sort of just build your defense as you need it, you can either build 10 marines from 1 rax or just build 10 rax and make 10 marines.

Nysze United States111 Posts January 30 2011 17:39 GMT #130 Gold I didn't follow all the rules (I grabbed the gold and used queens), and got 12:30 as zerg. I didn't know how to create a game without an opponent so added a very easy computer in, which resulted in this screenshot I didn't have to make anything except drones the whole game, his first attack which was also his only attack consisted of 3 zeals, that I fought off with drones and 2 queens
