It is well known that generally, mech are long macro games, whereas bio is more aggressive, am I right? So, is there any way I can go mech and still be able to finish games early? I think mech needs 200/200 or close to be strong..? | ||

Spread the Terran army, don't let more than half of it engage your small troop and you should be fine. Sentries a MUST in PvZ and PvT, never forget them :D | ||

Right now, I have about a build-order per matchup and I'm focusing mostly on keeping my macro going while doing stuff like scouting and harassing. I'm in low platinum (I expect to get demoted next season), but I was wonder around what league do players start to have a bunch of really clean perfect builds that cover like the first 10 minutes of a game. More than two each matchup? High master. You could even argue GM, as it's rare that you will meet the same people reguarly until you are at top master/GM level | ||

You still want zealots to chop away at the half of the army that you have forcefielded close to your army. They are incredibly effective in that instance because there is nowhere to kite away. | ||

This isn't really a simple question but... Generally most builds will have an infrastructure of 3-4 gates and a robo off 2 base before you get your upgrades, ht, or colossus. Make 1-2 obs to scout. If you think he's going to bust your front you want mostly zealots + sentries and maybe immortals. If he is getting medivacs you should add some stalkers and position them so they can quickly move to deal with a drop or join an attack at the front of your base. Use your obs to spot where he's going to attack/drop and split your army to make sure you can defend. Don't over make stalkers though they're pretty weak in a fight vs terran zealots, sentries, and immortals are much stronger if he just tries to bust your front with his entire army. | ||

I know gas is saturated at 3 workers, but is there a set number for saturating a mineral line? optimally saturated = 2 probes per mineral patch = 16 on a base with 8 patches fully saturated = 3 probes per mineral patch = 24 on a base with 8 patches | ||

Also, I've been following drewbie's 1raxFE -> 4rax TvP build, but I've been finding that as I get higher in diamond, the 10-11 minute +1/CS/Stim/Conc. push can get easily zoned out by FFs and then I can't really pressure because of slower medivacs. Would 1raxFE -> 3rax + faster medivacs be a better macro build? | ||

Are you asking if the 5-7 gate timings are better than the 4 gate? well from my own (limited) experience, but mainly from what i see in tournaments, it seems like those strategies are kind of a 2-base "4-gate", simply with more tech and/or (obviously) more gates, depending on which build you do. but from how it is played and how you have to defend it, it reminds me alot of the 4 gate how it was several months ago, exept that it looks much much stronger. i dont know if i should have opend a seperate thread about this, but i felt like it would end in a huge balance/flame-war. so i thought i'd just ask here  | ||

Would 1raxFE -> 3rax + faster medivacs be a better macro build? Warp prism plays are fairly hard to distinguish in that you can load a variety of different units to drop the T, so gas timings and chrono's could mean many different things. I prefer to keep a few marines patrolling in the back if I have vision in front of my base, just in case. Immortal busts can be characterized as more stalker heavy due to gas expenditure on immortals, so keep an eye out for that. Have you considered doing a demuslim style 4rax (I believe, dont quote me on it) marine push to kill sentries, allowing for a sick mmm push later in the game if you are having difficulties with sentries? If not, don't engage against an army that can zone you, use drop play and harassment to gain an advantage going into the mid/late game. In terms of the 3rax faster medivacs vs 4rax, I prefer 3rax personally in that drops are faster, but it is difficult to argue which one is technically better for macro. One gives you more infantry, one gives you tech. I think it is best to play the game by scouting to see what your opponent is up to. Say you scout a 1gate fe into 5gate robo or something along those lines, having a faster starport allows for more medivacs earlier and a faster switch into viking production to counter colo's(make sure to scout robo bay tho  ) | ||
