u serious? im sorry but lol, spinecrawler rush demolishes this build... it would be smart if it wasn't for the nexus being the first building to go, what do you do then? you need like 10 probes to saturate that gas.

You see that assimilator in the bottom left of the picture I provided? You can saturate that perfectly with only 4 probes!
Evidently you didn't read the OP...

china is the next mongolia? haha what did u even mean with that?

the thing is that stupid blizzard placed those freaking little light doodads at the ramp so the overall ramp is way bigger.
its just stupid map design, but i guess thats what we have to life with ~~

@OP : Have you considered that welling nexus could be macro nexus? So you can build other one and saturate faster so you dont need 60 probes for simple mining.

This wall in will be sweeping the nation in less then 24hours.

This is basically the macronexus iNcontrol has been talking about in SotG! Now all we need is some HotS energycannons, and Protoss will once more be imbalol :D

give this guy a medal looooool

Excellent point.
When Zerg players scout your impregnable wall and cancel their banelings nest, it is likely that they will either start a quick lair or throw down a proxy hatch just outside your wall. However, you must remember that this build counters everything Zerg can do.
For starters, as you know the first step to stopping early aggression/cheese is to scout it. This ingenius wall off style allows you to rally scouting Probes out on the map early on, despite having a zergling tight wall, giving you a good chance of scouting his lair/baneling/etc at critical timings.
Let's say worst comes to worst, you don't see the cheese coming until the creep is in vision of your buildings and the spine crawlers are almost complete. Although you are correct that your nexus wall off will likely fall in time, it will take a couple of spine crawlers a very very long time to knock it down. In this time, you simply have to throw down 2-3 additional nexus to simcity the weak parts of your wall which you can easily afford because of how quickly and efficiently you are mining your natural with this opening. When/if they do break down your wall, they will find themselves stuck. They cannot continue pressuring your wall because spinecrawlers cannot root on a ramp and getting closer would put themselves in range of your cannon. The biggest thing to remember here is that you DO NOT need additional cannons. Your single cannon is sufficient dps, you simply need a stronger, thicker wall that additional nexus can readily provide.
Because this build also optimizes your gas income as well as probe production, it is usually a good idea to start a mothership by the 7min mark. With the chronoboosts of from 4 nexus, you can constantly chrono this out without worrying about the severe probe cut. Also, because of your secondary wall of nexus, mining at your natural becomes slightly more efficient. Just make sure to use the chrono from the front nexus taking the damage, and make the mothership from one of the nexus you used to simcity so your mothership cloaks your wall the instant it pops out.
Honestly the only downside to this response is it becomes slightly less optimal to mine your 3rd, but with the insane probe production capability, chronoboosting out an additional 20probes should be no problem as long as you keep up with your macro.

but how do you get your units out
or back in

hahahaha! it baffles me how this thread has not been closed yet after 9 pages. At least it's fun for giggles.

The only thing i really do not like is the fact, that the expensive Nexus wont allow you to canonrush the zerg.
Therefore, i would suggest this brilliant new Ramp wall-offs.

And you have finally found a way to troll without getting warned and or banned :-D In order to prevent myself from those punishments I will add the following:
Consider that your build is very vulnerable to nestea's spine crawler rush.

wow, that wallin is so broken! :o
This will be patched for sure in next patch though... Probably reduced nexus hitpoint to that of a pylon. Would make more sense after all, they both provide roughly the same amount of supply, so they should have the same hitpoints. As zerg I'll probably stay away from ladder until this is patched...

Epic fail if serious. Epic win if comedy.

I vaguely remember seeing a 3 nexus 2 base strategy thread so when I saw this my first thought was that it was a 3 nex build... but then I read like 5 more words.
