Storming on the exact path is rather dangerous because it usually puts you dead in the middle of thier base, hard to retreat. Also storms are rather valuable, where as archons are not so much (in a battle situation). It's similiar to an immortal drop. You are basically abusing the 2-6 seconds before the player can react and start sending units, I don't see how you could get around 4-8 worker kills in that time spawn. The most important thing is that the archon drop is repeatable, you threaten to come back any time, not just when you have gas/energy on your templars. I think the key part of this post is storms are valuable and Archons are not and yet it takes 2 HT's to make an Archon. | ||

Ah, I see your point, I was unawaringly carrying over the fact that archon zealot pushes are pefectly good in PvZ, but not so much in PvT bio ball army. But perhaps against a PvT meching army, where storm is not so great, and archons way be preferable. Maybe you won't merge HT's specifically to drop them, but if you have them left over from a previous push or circumstance (to defend a push or some point, storm is too late), this could be a way to get additional ultility out of archons. | ||

Jinro just hit the spot... many heavy gas builds arent viable on just the idea of the fully depletion of the gas and thus forcing you to expand if you want more gas.... | ||

Also, sentry/stalker are more cost effective and are also useful in your army outside of mutas, where as archons are situational depending on your opponent's army composition and positioning. | ||

So true! Same deal with the Archon's. Watch, when the game is released someone will have found a way to make Archon's look "OP". | ||

If you turned the audi into the jacket after it ran out of gas then yes you spent 5 thousand dollars on a jacket. | ||

That makes perfect sense which is why I see audi's at gas stations and not at the tailor's. | ||
