If the latter, should you instead build up "waves" of units in your base and send them group by group to A) prevent nydus/muta/VR/Drop backstabs and B) so that they are less easy to pick off by any enemy units on the way? "It depends" but generally you'll see pros build up waves for the reasons that you describe. And also if things go south at the battle, you are less prone to trickling in free kills for your opponent if you end up rallying onto their side of the map. | ||

I was thinking about building that extra 16th worker but it may be a bad idea. The barracks is done when the 16th SCV is ~6/17 seconds finished so the orbital will get delayed by about 11 seconds but we will have 16 vs 15 workers while the Orbital Command is upgrading. Also, I'm not very familiar with gas first builds, but will they change (from being 11 Refinery 13 Barracks 16 Orbital I think)? | ||

You can enter your SC2 name and character code, but is this actually used anywhere on TL? | ||

I watched a single +1 carrier - all by itself - make mincemeat of 13 hydralisks. This inspired me to wonder why the hell Protoss players weren't Carrier rushing in every damn PvZ. But before asking that question here, I decided to try things out for myself in the unit tester, with somewhat different results. To put it bluntly, the Carrier died. If I focused the carrier, there were 12 of the 13 hydras remaining. If I allowed them to shoot the interceptors, I didn't lose any. So what the hell was that guy doing? | ||

Well I don't recall the daily, but if you abuse the cliffs and the long attack range of the carrier you can make it work. Fighting head on is never a good idea, be it against hydras, stalkers or marines. Also I wanted to join my voice to all the terrans asking about the 1.4 openers. I'm too lazy to go test it myself, so what I did was research the build orders a few terran grandmasters are using. They seem to be building 12 rax and a 16th SCV before the orbital, so that the CC doesn't get any iddle time, but there is no clear consensus as of yet. I guess we'll have to wait until somebody does the number-crunching. Now I know how the protoss felt whith the pylon range decrease, having to relearn your oppenings really sucks. | ||

Like you said it varies for the situation. It'd help to know if you're terran or zerg for this one, im guessing terran. A lot of the time I see terrans move out in waves, especially when playing marine tank builds. If they have a soft contain for example, it helps to move in waves so you dont get counter attacked like you said. But if you're playing bio based comp vs toss you shouldnt have much of an issue just rallying out to where your troops are located. | ||

Here's one such build for PvP: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=238165 It's fairly old (from June), but you can play around with the timings. And here's a PvT variant that goes for FE: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=204010 Although this one is for PvT, you can adapt it for PvP and figure out the timings for additional gateways. Just use the search function next time :p | ||

1 Rax with tech lab 1 Rax with reactor 2 Factories 2 Starports Is there anyway to actually select the rax with reactor seperately with another key instead of using the mouse? I think this would be really helpful to be faster at setting up seperate rally points, checking queue times ect. | ||
