In HotS, that will be more reasonable, but at the moment, its more of a waste than you acutally gain with it -,- + your "normal" nexuswall and your rampwall pics are rly, rly bad executed walls. | ||

Therefore, i would suggest this brilliant new Ramp wall-offs. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/pFeo6.jpg) and + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/f1Gwu.jpg) Best wall ever!

I honestly don't know if it's total trash or a solid way to play. Pros: - Your workers are harder to harass with Mutas/Helions/Storms/Ravens etc.. - You have more space to defend harass. (Your own wall won't block you) - Strong against busts - Might make a blind Nexus first viable. Cons: - You need more workers to cover your mineral line - Your Nexus is very exposed once you get into the mid game. - FFE will take more time to be effective. Since 3 pros are avoidable by just playing good, the only pro left is: "Might make a blind Nexus first viable". Because a FFE like that will take more time to be effective, you could just make a standard wall. So: Trash! I can see a macro nexus as part of a strategy and wall at the same time. Like walling your 3rd with a 4rd nexus or wall your 2nd with a 3rd and use your additional chrono boosts to get into your old tech-timings. But this? No! | ||

Although you could use the Nexus in the wall-in as a sort of "macro-hatch-Nexus" for more probe production untill you can move out and take the other bases lolol. | ||

My favorite wall-offs are: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/9YR3L.jpg) I call that one the Intimidator. Someone rolls up to your ramp, sees all 3 tech routes with upgrades being chronoboosted, they're going to say "fuck this base, I'm attacking somewhere else". Hence the order of buildings, FTB. On top of that, you boldly declare that you could make DTs, but you don't really feel like it right now. Not pictured: the zealot is 3/3/3. and + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Nx6g3.jpg) I call that one the Confuse-o-tron 8000. In case it's not clear from the picture, that's a maze of DT shrines, not a random jumble of them. The only path is a single hex opening that snakes back and forth between the rows of buildings. Nobody's going to mess with that. Not pictured: the mothership just off-screen (it made the screenshot too confusing). If anyone tries to break down the walls of your maze, cloak it! An invisible maze of buildings which unlock invisible units is pretty much guaranteed to reduce your opponent and his units to gibbering madness. | ||

Blizzard clearly wants us to do this wall-in style, that's why they are adding the warp-in and the cannon ability to the nexus, that way the nexus can actually become one gigantic invinsible cannon when used as part of a wall off. If anything, Bitbit is ahead of his time - a true genious in starcraft. | ||
