Not sure about protoss saturation but i assume its the same as zerg. For a fresh base (all mineral patches there). Assuming you have both gas with 3 workers in each, at a base you want to select all workers, you want between 2 and a half and 3 rows of workers. That is 2 workers for every mineral patch (16) and then 2 for each gas (4) plus the two in the gas at the time is optimally saturated. Basically 2 and a half rows for a fresh base with both gas | ||

So: 160 sec. * .66 = 106 sec to get warp gate tech using non-stop chronoboosting http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=195512 for more chronoboost calculation stuff | ||

Begin the cannon when the hatchery is 70 seconds done, so that you have a few seconds after the hatchery finishes to cancel your cannon in case he cancels his hatchery. From this point, you want to start making gateways and taking your gas, and expo when he cancels. Why would you cancel? You'll need the cannon anyway if you're doing forge FE, and most people who hatch to block your nexus from going down follow it up with cancel into evo chamber, in which case the cannon will help kill it faster. So in other words, just get a cannon, throw down gate/gas and just tech a little faster than normal. Also see if you can possibly cannon rush the zerg. | ||

I love hellions and reapers so if it involved either of those units that would be super. | ||

You obviously lose some mining time but you can employ this if you REALLY need that second geyser. | ||

Yeah thats what I have right now. 3gate sentry expand vZ, 3gate Robo vP and for vT the one BO im really crisp on is a weird 2gate FE into immediate robo from mini's stream. I'm just unsure of it because it involves not scouting till 21 for example which is a hassle on non 2player maps... | ||

I would still say roaches because if he is mixing in any large amount of rauders then the thor count is going to be smaller, its going to end up being the same food count so roaches are still going to be fine if its still predominately thor/hellion. | ||

This is one of those situations when a counter-chart is not what you need. Against a thor heavy terran play you'd be surprised how well standard muta-baneling does. You just have to abuse the slowness of the thors to constantly deny the 3rd while working up to 4 bases and a fast hive for broodlords. | ||

Situation use: I have 10 VRs on Group #3. I want each of them to attack a different target, I want to just right click on the enemy units, and deselect 1 VR from my group each attack so it keeps attacking the previous target. I know you can shift click the unit icon, but I don't want to be moving my mouse way down there and then back to the battlefield. | ||

You can shift-click the actual unit (instead of the icon) on the main screen to do the same thing. I don't think there's a button that just randomly drops a unit from a group of selected units, if that's what you're looking for. | ||
