EDIT: Here is a TvZ replay which clearly shows the abuse from certain spawn locations. At these locations it is especially hard for the zerg to stop the attack. http://www.mediafire.com/?y6d2h95m5g0uwok Here is a replay http://www.mediafire.com/?aqcq1nc1r4qt2n9 EDIT: I have added a screen shot so you can see in case you don't want to look at replay ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/4jO5K.jpg) | ||

1. Expand by 10 minutes 2. Turrets on mineral line by 10 minutes 3. Make sure to be creative. | ||

Also I do not see how having a missile turret would be that good.. he could easily kill off a missile turret from his position. | ||

@NoisyNinja: Turrets by the mineral line are only if they have banshees and in general you only get one, in the middle of the mineral line area which wouldn't help anyways against this kind of push. And in general, although the natural should be able to be shelled from low ground, the main CC shouldn't be targetable from any point other than within the base itself. | ||

And in general, although the natural should be able to be shelled from low ground, the main CC shouldn't be targetable from any point other than within the base itself. The turrets could just deny vision (by shooting the vikings) or just stall long enough for your tanks to get into position. They would stall by providing a target for the opponent's tanks. I put 2-3 turrets on the mineral line to defend against drops and air harassment. I agree with your second point though. | ||

I see that it is around 9 minutes into the game, and as far as I can tell, you don't have an Engineering bay. My general rule of thumb for Terran is: 1. Expand by 10 minutes 2. Turrets on mineral line by 10 minutes 3. Make sure to be creative. but then the vikings give sight of the turret and the tanks just shoot that first? | ||

This seems like interesting, creative and fun strategy unfolding on one of the cool and well-made blizzard maps. On a serious note, this issue was present in Steppes of war also. You shouldn't have much issues if you see it coming and place your own tanks there, or stop the push before he gets underneath your main cliff. Also, as a T user you can abuse this yourself -_- | ||

Lots of naturals can be hit by tanks from the outside, but usually, the main is supposed to be safe. This is going to become the next lost temple thor drop. | ||
