That was some incredible work, mindblowing. Also very nonsensical results, but very interesting for sure. Thanks a lot

Great post, very insightful and based on facts.

Most of us have propably noticed this already (Metalopolis, Entombed), but it's always great to have your opinion strengthened by hard facts.

As a Zerg player, I would say that this has a BIG influence on ZvZ, when both go for 14/14 and one has his speed some seconds earlier than the other player.

I've tried to explain forever that some spawn positions are at a disadvantage because of this. There was an old map in particular, forget which one, that I refused to play people on because of this (was Terran at the time)... good to see someone has actually researched it.

You probably know a lot more about gas mining than the people at blizzard ^_^ (ie: Carrier Micro by Nony)


there are a lot of people on tl that know more about everything a good rts needs than the actual ex dow and c&c creators now working for blizzard

Cool. I always wondered why the AI would take gases so weird. It did the math.

Well researched. Most of this issues have long been evident to attentive players, but Blizzard's approach to the game has always been too lax for them to be fixed anytime soon. Map makers will need to adapt as much as they can.

Give this man a medal.

Orek had the passion and now delivers a well-researched overview with all details one ever needs to know about vespene.

As a zerg I should probably throw 4 drones to those far away locations just to make sure i get every drop possible. It's almost never about the minerals, but if I'll get extra infestor during the game thanks to this, I'll take it.

Amazing work, I hope this gets all the attention it deserves, especially from the pros. I'm really glad to read such a piece for once instead of all the drama threads!
Kudos to you, sir.

Well done! Makes it very easy to understand which gas to take for any position and is nicely formatted so that it's easy to sift through the information.

This is very helpful, especially for entombed valley! Thanks a lot for the great research

edit: does anyone have a link to the faster mining mineral patches aswell for every map? Knowing these small aspects of the game well can help a lot in the long run
