Working on my toss offrace and in pvz i am going Nexus first every game. However i have no idea where to place my first pylon. On some maps i make it part of the nexus building wall and on some maps i can put it behind the wall and wall with 2 building. Then if i want to do a building wall with no nexus like on shakuras, depending on the spawn its is different. I never realized how lame the pylon radius nerf was when tosses were complaining but it sucks lol some maps i just royally fuck up my wall. I know there is a thread explaining building placements but i cant find it for my search efforts. I also looked here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=284255 and no luck. Can anyone point me to that thread if they remember relevant keywords? or is there as simple trick that i am missing that makes it simpler to determine 1st pylon placement in pvz? I expect to have to memorize all maps all spawns but if there is a trick that would be awesome. | ||

When I have ghosts in the same group with my bio (I know it's better to have them in a different group but for walking around it's easier for me) I have to tab first to stim my bio. Question: Is there a way to change the hotkeys so I don't have to tab? I play with grid layout. As others have said, use all your hotkeys, i have bound my 1234567890 to 123456 y h space caps, this way you can use all hotkeys comfortably with grid layout, i put ghosts on space, which is 9 i suppose, use my thumb, very comfortaable since your thumbs do nothing much anyways | ||

Shakuras or the choke at tal darim are 3-gates-tight which you could just aim the pylon by having the radius of the pylon barely touching 2 side of the ramp. On maps such at Shatter temple or antiga however is much much bigger so you need to either learn to wall with nexus as a part of your wall or put your pylon as a part of the wall. Best would be just to start block 1/3 of the ramp to your main from the outside and start building a wall from there. the thread u might be looking for http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=62652 (lol jk-ing, i cant find it either) | ||

If anyone could link a thread with pics off FFE walloffs on all maps that would be sweet otherwise ill have to figure it out myself [not a huge problem] | ||

Also, are there signs to know when to double forge? This isn't a simple question - we don't know anything about your opening, your opponent's opening, how the early game played out, what your opponent's unit composition is, etc. There's no simple formula for when it's advantageous to tech switch. The closest I can come to a simple answer for you is: You generally don't want more than three Colossi in PvT. If they are particularly Marine-heavy, getting a fourth Colossus is often a good call. This is because it's too easy for the Terran to kill them all with Vikings and leave you with a pitiful little ground army. When you switch out of Colossi, though, it's usually to add HTs and/or Archons - with builds that don't rush to Colossi, it's pretty common to have already gotten Blink and Charge either before you start making Colossi or while you're building them. | ||

You just queued units, not taking your gas or building an CC. Then you had gas but didn't use it efficiently. Snipe observer when you see mass Stalkers, use scans to find out what he is doing. You had no idea what he was going for next. Also: panic rax and panic bunkers put you far more behind than any cheese could. | ||

EDIT: Sometime ago I think I read on TL about a little program that retrieves information on your opponent when you're in the loading screen. Like star info, but instead of popping up in your stream chat, it just comes up as a bubble or something on the loading screen. Did I dream this or does anybody know where to find it? I can't find it with search... | ||

I've found out the hard way that 4-gate is useless, 6 marines plus all the SCVs WILL beat 8 zealots and 8 stalkers, and even if you kill every single SCV they still have an equivalent economy to yours with 3 OCs. To do some damage with early pressure I think you need forcefields on the backside of the bunker to prevent repair | ||
