What do you guys think of a Basic Build / Army like this Mid-Game: 2 Bases (FE?) 1 Forge (Photon Cannons, Upgrades) 1 Cybernetics Core (Upgrades) 8 Warpgates (Pump Gateway Units) 2 Robos (Pump Immortals) 2 Stargates (1 Pumps Void Rays, 1 Pumps Phoenixes) Going Mass Army then Attacking / Countering than Teching. While Attacking Pump, Expand, Tech, Build, etc (Although they'll probably GG if you're in their Main). ??
To be completely honest it sounds like you need to get a couple more games under your belt because SC2 is not as simple as that list - it's more dynamic and you have to be adaptive. It's as if you had an adrenalin surge from coming up with that list and you felt the urge to share :laugh:
Umm. First off, ^what kuvasz said. Second off, 2 bases is DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH to require 8 warp gates 2 robos 2 stargates As for the forge, I usually forget about it and get two, and start pumping upg >.> StarCraft is really much more than massing and attacking, even if it does feel like that at times. To be really a graet player, you must scout constantly (omg this morning i just wasted this guy's infestor rush. becuz i got lucky on an obs scout, i barely caught it!) and decide when to harass, make minor, major pushes, etc. Of course, you gotta keep your micro up as well.
Or: Stop. Are you not trying to protect your pride? I say lower from 8 to 5-6 But how should I know...
Normally I'd sit back and enjoy (and enjoy I would), but I have to say that I was steamrolled by something like that only yesterday. I've had too many games to be able to fetch the replay from unsaved (I just checked) but indeed it was an FE with at least 8 gates.
Since a single base can support 4 gates 2 bases can support 8, that's quite simple... 8 gates and nothing else, that is, but yeah it does make for an insane push..
In 2v2's, If I FE, Those two bases can sustain 4 gates making chargelots and 2 robos making colusi, with a stargate making phoenixs. Can usually last quite a long time + upgrades. But it doesn't really matter how and what units you make, its how effectively you use them.
I would somewhat understand colosi but I swear if I see another 'colusi' on the site I'm going to take sanctions. In 2v2 I only FE if the map is big and we have a shared base. I've been rushed way too many times and only once could my team mate win the game. But I digress.
I don't need FE. I sustain this w/ 2 bases 5 gates 2 robo, (colossi, immortal, obs depending on my eco) 1-2 Forges 1-2 Stargates. Obviously this is inefficient because my macro is only okay.
