Your Protoss strategy

im just wondering wat are your starcraft bo's i dont really have a favorite but i usally make 6 workers, and 2pylons, and 2 portals, and rush zealots works most of the time. ;D

 

uhh i'm not sure the numbers but i build a pylon with my 8th probe (as in 8/9 psi limit) and queue at least two more in the nexus then as soon as the pylon finishes warping i build 2 gateways then a few more pylons and two more gateways as minerals allow

zealot rush spawning pool if there are zerg players

but after that I suck

I have my beginning set up perfectly but I don't have enough experience to know when to switch from Zealots to something higher

 

I know what you guys are talking about, but what is a bo?

And I always build a pylon/overlord/supply depot at my eight worker.

 

Bo = body odor

 

hum..
My first 2-3 units made are generally probes..
I am happy to say that you fought noobs :good:

 

BO = Build Order

Normally for Zerg, I would six pool Zerglings. This is how I do it, Make 7 Drones, Build Spawning Pool, Make 6 Zerglings, Build 1 Drone.

 

Build SCVs until 8/10, begin a Barracks, start a Supply Depot when minerals hit 100.

 

man ill these build orders look the same for every race they all have something in common, oh and nikzad after i zealot rush all usally turtle and make a ton of photons and lots of the immortals. Then from there i just go expand some and let the enemy thro watever they got and then i charge.

For AIUR (i think thats how you spell it)

lol i called immortals already, wat are they called again, ummm not immortals but, they 're called, dang ill just call em immortals.

 

cool i'll try that next time i play

 

SCV RUSH PWNS ALL!

 

dragoons my friend dragoons. remember they aren't dead YET

 

oh yeah dragoons, man i cant belive i forgot thier name it dosent make me a real protoss any more, for the SWARM then.............. it dosent sound as good as for aiur, nope protoss have got a better phrase.

 

i always screw up terran bo. it doesnt make any sense to me to have a command centre stop building scvs at any time =/

zerg bo: 9drone lord 2drone hatch drone pool drone
protoss bo vs terran: 8probe pylon probe gateway gg (either to me or terran either way probe rush ftw)

 

you need more probes dude.

 

i usually go 8 drones, pool overlord 2 sunkens hatchery more sunkens.

 

When I play zerg:
1. I start with 4 drones.
2. Make 5 more drones
3. Make an overlord
4. Build an extractor + Make a drone then cancel the extractor build (so your population will be 10/9).
5. Use that 10th drone to build a pool
6. Overlord should be done and have almost 300 minerals... so build another hatchery.
7. When pool is done, make zerglings.... etc.

I don't want to go any further but this is how I start off when I play zerg (rarely though hehe... I like protoss better). The extractor part is my roommate's idea who used to be a starcraft top 100 player in the world (kof clan).

 

do you know if it's really worth it?
i find that technique dissatisfying since i usually already have the closest/all the mineral blocks occupied and the return for extractor-cancel is actually a loss....and my builds most of the time involves no wasted time of larva spawn so im never in a hurry to use up my food and larvas

 

Really I get no loss of minerals at all... steps 4-6 happens in like 10 seconds cause the overlord is already almost finished by the time i build the 10th drone. Plus I go like 2 drones per mineral patch... so by the time I have that, I've finished my expansion and I have at least 3 hatcheries pumping out units.

 

oh ok

i dont understand your build anyways. doesnt make any sense lol

 

lol the point of it is to have a better economy for a fast expansion or a ling rush. I usually build my 2nd hatchery near the ramp along with a couple of sunkens for defensive purposes. So it's a flexible build.

I can send you a replay cause I just tried it out again last night against a computer on battle.net. I was a bit slow later on cause I suck at macro but since it was the AI, I didn't lose and beat it in a half an hour. I really need to brush up on my skills... haven't played the game in a couple of years.
