If you have two iterations of fungal going on the same group of units, does it still act as 1 fungal or 2?

i.e., fungalling a group of workers once initially, waiting, casting it again after it runs out VS. fungalling a group of workers twice, one right after another (no pause between the two fungals).

Is there any way to rotate my buildings for placement? I was sure there wasn't, but one of my opponents in a replay has their factory sideways so as to fit in the wall better. I was pretty blown away by this, how did he do this?


Wait...Terran buildings are 3x3. It'd be the same any way you put it....

Right, but it was oriented to keep the weak addon inside the wall as opposed to being part of it.


It had to be just the orientation of the ramp itself. If the ramp opens to the right, then the addon would be part of the wall. If it opens to the left, for example, the addon is on the backside, thus not a part of it. I don't think the building was rotated, but the orientation of the spawning location's ramp opening. The addon is always a 2x2 attached to the right side of the 3x3 buildings. Always.

is it always on the right top as well?

i'm so nub, i don't know how many building placements i've effed up because of this (i like them to be neat and right next to each other lol). also i keep making wall-ins that aren't actually sealed. it's ok tho because usually my opponent assumes that it is sealed, because who would be dumb enough to make 1 rax/2 depots that doesn't seal? *shrug*



Here's the building:

It acts as 1. Fungals don't stack.

My question(s):
What standard generic opening works for:
P:
T:
Z:
against all match-ups?

P: 3gate expand works against T and Z
Z: gas, then pool then hatch is a safe build vs any race. hatch first works too, but is more risky

Wondering the same thing. As far as I know, there isn't, but I hope to be corrected.

I've had games on Slag in all but cross position. Typhon I've had cross position and both at top. So it seems likely there are no restrictions on those two. (Haven't had Backwater Gulch yet).

I got a question.

Let's say I see a death ball of mostly stalkers, sentries, colossus and a handful of zealots and I have the typical roach, some hydras and corruptors.

How would I engage this? Do I stick my corruptors out in front taking a lot of damage from the stalkers while my roaches move in last or the other way around?

I know there is a fix coming to the toilet problem. But how does it work? Units coming out of the vortex will be invincible for 1.5secs, but can they fire at you?

I mean, that when they come out, do you have to run away so they don't get 1.5secs worth of free shots, or are they unable to fire?

I heard they were unable to fire but I did not test this myself

It depends on your unit count. If you have around 12 corruptors or more you need to move them in first because there will be leftovers anyway at the end of the fight. If you only have 5 or less corruptors you need to send them in last but you should have more corruptors.

On a side note the protoss shouldn't get zealots theyre a complete waste of money

Do warpgates actually make unit build time faster, or just frontload rather than backload unit building?

On the PTR, is the bug fix to sentries a nerf, or will units now be trapped inside the Force Field?

- Fixed an issue to prevent force fields from pushing units during construction.

Yeah, warpgate cooldown is much faster than cueing up units, if you're on time with your warps

Neither, it's a fix. Units were never meant to "disappear".

Additionally, typically sentries would not waste that much FF on a bunker unless either A. to prevent SCVs from repairing it (even then...) or B. the bug existed.

Adding to this: also try to bring the corrupters in from the side, where not all the stalkers can shoot at them.

An exception to this is when the protoss player has void rays or phoenixes, then you'll want your corrupters over your own army so your hydras can take the air units out.
