Should i split up my forces between my main and expo (at expense of map control and harass?) Keep map control and harass with mutas, or if you're going the infestor route, u can keep 1 infestor at each base to stop drops and keep your army somewhere in the middle so you can defend anywhere in time. Keep 1 ling at each possible route he may come in so you can see when he's coming and buy you time. It depends on your opponent's race though. you can also threaten a base trade, partial or full. He travels long distance to kill your base, but you move in right when he leaves so you get a head start. You should win in this scenario, so it's an effective way to keep him at home. | ||

But I kind of mean a more elaborate build. Like the 6 gate +1 push vs zerg. I haven't played protoss in a year I of course know those 3 builds but I'm kind of looking for 3 game plans if that makes any sense. Like a opening build and a good simple transition/gameplan. | ||

Do sensor towers show if cloaked units are in the radius of the sensor tower? If I have a timing push planned at TvZ at around the 9-9:30 mark that consists of helion-MM with stim, should I back off if there's no 3rd, but a macro hatch instead? | ||

Do sensor towers show if cloaked units are in the radius of the sensor tower? 1: Yes. 2: No, cloaked or burrowed units won't show. I've left the third one out so someone more familiar with Terran can answer properly. | ||

Yes, no, no idea (I'm Protoss, sorry). Oops, ninjaed, sorry! | ||

Depends, feel the waters out. Don't engage on creep if there's no third. If you're doing a Jjakji style push you can just sit back since your third will be already 1/3 done with them having none. I think it heavily depends on what kind of push, if by MM you mean marine marauder and no medivacs I woulnd dare engage since you can't lift. No one who can link/pm me some basic build with gameplan?

Anyone know where to find a decent gas count/gas timing guide for scouting? | ||

The one I remember using had a horizontal timeline that you could scroll through and add units/buildings/upgrades at certain times. And once you got your build how you wanted it, you could just save the hyperlink and use it to load the build later. | ||

You still need to press a button to do it, it's not using any third party program and it's completely possible without exploiting the game and so it's allowed. | ||
