I think you should not cancel your expo. Instead wait untill his 3rd is nearly finished. Then when you are sure he won't able to cancel it anymore push out with a zaelot army. It's most likely you have around 4-5 zaelots at that time and it will be hard to hold off. This also causes that he has to stop drone production and go speedling heavy/spines to hold it off. So you do damage anyways while you only lose 400-500 minerals where he will lose A. More minerals B. Mabye some drones and C Larvae spending. But as I said I am not a Protoss player, so I should be not the best one to answer this question  | ||

Unless you suspect dt play as well, I would just hold with queens and good ol spread to spot the wp. It's likely he'll just move out of spore range and warp in a few zealots to take down your min line anyway and a spore won't help. | ||

Does the overlapping creep gives you vision? :D The tumors give you vision not the creep. You can spread your tumors on enemy creep. It's just like building a spine crawler on enemy creep. | ||

Terrans usually float their factories in TvP because they have no use for it and have already made a starport (usually with reactor) and it's not that often you'd want/need more than that. If you opt to do this just be ready to throw down an armory beore you lose your factory for upgrades at the engi bay | ||

(Late/end game scenario) Did your opponent have some kind of positional advantage, how did your supply and upgrades compare, did he have noticeably good micro? | ||

I would say that the ravens made it really difficult. If broods are clustered they die to heat seekers and if they are spread out they they to snipe, vikings and marines. | ||

Do the shields of a unit regenerate while it's in a warp prism? E.g. Collossus shields are down --> I load him up in the prism, fly to next expansion and unload'em there. Does the collossus recharged its shields in the meantime? Tanks for a quick answer. | ||

Yes, they do, and you can even get a good idea about how much it's regenerated by looking at the unit portraits in the unload area of the prism, because it shows the standard blue square to represent shields. | ||

Sorry, I don't think I can think of a reliable simple solution to that, since I never play that composition in late game in my TvZ. I'd have to be guessing (my first guess would be the so called 300 supply army (saving larvae for a faster remax than he do if you can provoke an engagement in which you lose similar supply), or some form of econ harass like nydus, or just trying to outmanoeuvre him so he's in a bad position). | ||

I'll assume you mean 3rax stim all-in (if you are referring to something else please be specific) in which you poke his ramp and you should spot the marauder tech, sit a probe at his natural and confirm he isn't expanding and expect an all-in, throw down more gates and make units. Favour zealot-sentry over heavy stalker counts vs stim rush builds. Really vague answer to a really vague question. edit: On February 03 2012 07:12 Kmickelow wrote: what time should the +1 zealots and void rays be hitting and how many of each... thanks :D when it hits depends on the map and if you opted/managed to proxy, but your first warp-in and voidray should be ready to go generally by 8mins. | ||
