I love all these mathematical analysis of sc2

You mean a supply block that lasts for three minutes or one at three minutes? If the former, at which supply do you want it?

Yeah, if you don't mind, I'd love to take a look.

I've put the script online here: http://github.com/aerique/sc2-utils

Could you do multiple blocks at different supplies that total about 2 mins? Say 28 supply, 44, 60? I expect many lower leagued players will have larger than one 40 sec block per game.

This is a graph with 40 second supply blocks at 28, 46 and 62:

[image loading]

Although the graph at 330 seconds has me scratching behind the ears since we seem to be on equal footing at that point but with more minerals for the supply blocked graph! I don't have time to take a better look at it but I assume the blue graph has more overlords, queens and maybe even an extra hatchery at that point.

I'm not going to lie, I think there's something wrong with the graph. It could be:

larva timing
queen injects timing (if there are queens)
building queen timings (3rd hatch before or after 2nd queen?)
hatchery timings (just 2 or 3 hatches?)

You need to show the difference between the integrals of the minerals mined for both. That's the most important thing. How much more money has blue accumulated than red? It should be a boatload.

It's odd that red has the same # of workers and more minerals at the 330-360 range. And more in the order of 500 minerals, so it's overlords/hatcheries/queens. If blue has 500 minerals (a hatchery, queen, and half an overlord) more than red, the supply difference needs to be more than 10. I think this graph is vastly understating the damages of supply block.

Thanks for your comments. It'll be a couple of days before I can spend more time on this again but I agree that graphing the available amount of minerals at a certain time is not useful.

It's impressive you managed to write a script like this, but to be accurate you have to come up with something that rivals the Starcraft 2 script.

I think it'd be much easier to get a replay of Stephano doing his 3 hatch ZvP opening, get a replay of a bronze/silver player attempting the same thing, and plot the data points. Using excel to make best-fit lines. Up to 8 minutes.

Would be interesting to see what the graph for Terran would look like. I'm not sure but I have a hunch the effect of a single supply block would be more severe on Terran.

Man, if you spent as much effort in playing the game as analysing it, you wouldn't be in bronze

That said, good job, it's always nice with some statistical information for future arguments on the forums.
