Normally I'd just set myself on busy and block him afterwards, but yesterday I was waiting for a friend coming online and couldn't do that.... | ||

Normally I'd just set myself on busy and block him afterwards, but yesterday I was waiting for a friend coming online and couldn't do that.... Outside of a game you should be able to right-click the player's name in the chat pop-up -> More... -> Block communication... Inside of a game, you can squelch them from the communication center accessible by hitting F11. EDIT: The "inside of a game" part is edited with the correct information. I was initially mistaken about how to access the comm center. >_< | ||

Seems like most safe standard builds use either 12 Gateway or 13 Gateway, but I can't yet figure out why one build chooses one over the other | ||

I'm somewhat sure the answer is yes but I want to be sure. | ||

I'm somewhat sure the answer is yes but I want to be sure. yes, ai will automatically target real units over halluc provided there is detection. | ||

So it all depends on what you want to use the chrono boost on. | ||

You will see some people favour 12gate in pvp because that match-up is retarded. edit: almost all builds will chrono the 11th probe, especially since you are specifically referring to "safe builds". heck, even all in 10gate 4gate rushes will chrono the 11th probe. I do not think the difference between a 12 and 13 gate lies in the use of chrono. | ||

So it all depends on what you want to use the chrono boost on. That's a neither helpful nor correct answer. 12 gate has 1 chrono before the gateway and 1 right after. There will be a slight pause in probe production to get the gateway down at 12. 13 gate has both chronos before the gateway and there is no pause in probe production. 13 gate is slightly more economical but the difference is very small. You should do 13 gate as standard in PvZ and PvT. In PvP 12 gate is considered more standard because a few seconds often do make a the difference in a mirror match up, and also you end up cutting probes later on anyway. | ||

To give you a visual aid, chronoboost when the probe's building bar is between the 3 and the 4 queues. if you built the pylon as quickly as possible, this will allow you to chrono on that probe without getting supply blocked. | ||

Terran (Walled in at first scout, no info but 1 marine and rax): 15 hatch 15 pool 15 gas? Protoss (non FFE): 15 hatch 15 pool 18 gas? Zerg (all): 10 pool 12 gas? (to punish any early expo attempts) FFE Protoss: 11 overpool Are there any better options I should use for these openings? I find that after 21 food (some openings call for a 21 expo) it really isn't part of a build order anymore, and is just reaction time. midoinitrite? | ||

After the opening I have just been going entirely on scouting info, game knowledge, and insinct; is this the correct way to do this? If so, does anyone have generic, solid build orders for me to run for the following: Terran (Walled in at first scout, no info but 1 marine and rax): 15 hatch 15 pool 15 gas? Protoss (non FFE): 15 hatch 15 pool 18 gas? Zerg (all): 10 pool 12 gas? (to punish any early expo attempts) FFE Protoss: 11 overpool Are there any better options I should use for these openings? I find that after 21 food (some openings call for a 21 expo) it really isn't part of a build order anymore, and is just reaction time. midoinitrite? Basically you are correct, it is difficult to map openers past the initial hatch/pool/gas timings. However, keep in mind that improvising is still not a good idea, you want to know a sense of timings that will help you craft efficient play on the spot, basic facts like one geyser can give about 100 gas per minute, so if my opponent's blue flame upgrade finishes 100 seconds from now and I resume mining gas now, I'll have enough for about 6 roaches when it gets to my base. You need to learn the timings of the other races to learn how to appropriately respond, because simply making stuff up as you go creates inefficiencies and sloppy play. | ||

The two buttons at the top-right are for alliances and trading, respectively. Hit F11 for the communication center, and from there you can squelch folk. | ||

Prior to saturation each worker mines approximately 40 minerals a minute and 38 gas a minute. Marauders take 30 seconds to build. So doing the math 5 scvs on minerals and 2 on gas. | ||
