Thanks for taking the time to draft this up. Analyzing replays is definitely an important aspect of your game, but sometimes it's difficult to pick out why you lost (other than if your army was smaller). This is a very well organized guide to use.

Looking forward to the build order refinement post.

Great write-up! I like that you have stuff for all levels. I've heard it all before but it's nice to see it all in one place.
On another note: I started using SC2Gears a few days ago, and it's great. Now I cannot be too lazy to not save my replays .

And that's where the strategy forum comes in useful. You're able to post up what you think is the reason you lost and then people are able to review that and give you further advice.

I'm a 3000 diamond and I found this very helpful. People always say watch your replays but I never knew how exactly I"m suppose to watch them. This thread is the perfect example of what you should be doing.

While I save all of my replays, organizing and renaming every time has been quite annoying, especially recently, as I have been sending them to others and getting some from coaches, partners and the web.

Thank you for passing along SC2 Gears. It's an excellent 3rd party development with a lot to offer.

Excellent guide, thanks very much for it. I have bookmarked it and expect to refer back to it frequently. I have already used it to good effect with one of my replays where I lost despite having (I thought) much better macro, and was able to see past the obvious mistake (micro mistake in a major battle causing me to lose my army) to the less obvious one (my injects/production fell off badly once I was maxed, so I never re-maxed and won the followup even though I should have been able to do so).

SC2Gears will save me a lot of time - saving every replay manually is tedious.

Can you extend this to analyzing other people's replays? I'm getting tired of people bandwagoning on the OP's erroneous conclusions.

Not a request to have my replay analyzed or anything. It's just that I had a cheese fail video on another computer that recently died, and this computer can't read the site that I had uploaded it to. Can someone upload this to another replay site? http://sc2.replayers.com/replays/view/4740

Beautiful. As a low level player this is a habit I definitely need to get into if I plan on rising through the ranks searching through a replay is indeed overwhelming if you don't know what you're doing - which I know 10x more than I did before reading the article, and plan on putting the information to use tomorrow.

Also, it usually just seems like too much work - but I guess that's the price you pay for improving your game! Though it seems much simpler after reading this.

I fear not the shadows of glory nor the echoes of eternity; place before me a true rendition of greatness... and then we shall see.

On February 23 2011 01:57 Plexa wrote:Poor Worker Saturation
You need about 30 peons per base - 6 to mine gas, 24 on minerals. If you have 90 workers and 2 bases then you have 30 workers too many and desperately need an expansion.


Good guide in general, but I wanted to nitpick this point. There was a thread a little while ago that analyzed the effectiveness of each additional worker at a base (and compared it to BW) and it found that the return from an extra worker on minerals past 16 was smaller, which most people know, but also that it was nearly negligible after 20, and beyond 22 workers you were actually better off long distance mining on LT.

It's a small point, but you certainly don't need 24 workers on minerals. This may actually make your point about balancing worker distribution stronger.
