Planetary Fortress Rush - what ladder maps?

I did it to a protoss in a custom game this morning

I was a good sport afterwards and told him how to defend against it if anyone ever tries again

 

That is kind of hard with 12 scv trying to kill that probe

Best bet is to kill as many scvs as possible, put a cannon right behind the mineral line and take your zealots and probes and build a nexus at your natural, then return with 1 void ray

 

You can use more than 1 probe and you just need to buy a bit of time. Plus like Joneagle said you can put down the occassional pylon too. Also keep in mind that cannons outrange the fortress. Preventing him from landing and keeping those things in mind you should be able to push it out without actually having to move bases.

One of the big obstacles for people is the "wtf" factor. Their surprise and unfamiliarity with dealing with it forces them into making the wrong choices.

 

Hmm, on a smaller map where you can save time flying your CC to enemy base you could also try to gather enough resources to build the range upgrade for the fortress as well as have enough to build the fortress itself

 

Definitely Scrap Station, set it up behind their minerals and walah.

Desert Oasis as well, but it can't be landed close to minerals, so :s

I've done this to my friends, it's too risky to do on 1v1 imo though.

It's easily countered by getting a ground unit or two to "attack" (follow) the CC and therefore stopping it landing for a while.

 

Did anyone try it against another terran?

I know it is probably pointless but still..

 

You sir are awesome, for thinking of this.

I love strategies like this, because if it works you know your opponent was like "......uhh what?"
