Thanks! This is the kind of highly detailed information that I'd imagine popping up at the highest levels of SC2 competition, yet here you are. Glad to see you being so dedicated to researching the Starcraft 2 physics to the core, it's the kind of research I'd love to see Liquipedia overflow with

Really good thread. Although i dont think its as huge of deal in long game. But in main when there is this "red" gas taking it as first can really hurt yours early to mid game (the differential is about 180 gas - and thats quite alot at that stage of game)

It is always refreshing to read a post like this. Kudos to the OP!

A little disappointed by the lack of drama however.

wow buddy !!! GREAT Work !!!! and it seems truly logical. btw @divec is correct i think, about the same influence regarding mineral patches (and im not even talking about discrtict 10 4v4 map which has minerals at ur main u can only mine from behind....)
although im all fore creativity and not using "base+min+gas" templates - there has to be some indication to map creators about efficiency of gas/mineral income, should be a piece of cake for blizz after you did all the research and hard work!!!

:D :D :D

such awesome community

great work!

any1 has some more drama left...? im running low...

This isn't a strategy, nor is the title misleading. Try actually reading the post.

Someone posted this before, but never did all the research. I could tell from some time ago that especially entombed was really badly done for gases, and have been adding 4 to the far gases in most games, but nice to see someone do the maths.
