A toss player will usually block his ramp with 3-4 zealots until he has archons and templars if a zerg is offencive in early game.

i just put a few cannons to stop early ling rush i have found cannons kick ass vs early units such as marines and bats and lings

 

[AKA-47]

Yes, cannons are very important vs zerg because they make it easyer to kill lings or lurkers.

 

[Zmoney]

but lins also in masses supposedly romp through cannons but i have neverseen i i have never even seen a basic ground unit even kill a caonnon an all the mass attacks of 10-20 fail also canons kick ass

I get extractor/refinery/assimilator pretty much straight after the first pool/barracks/gateway. So i have gas after about 2-3mins. And i doubt you can gain 1200minerals in 5 minutes. You will be spending it on other necessities.

 

[AKA-47]

It takes me 5 minutes to get 12 lings + 4 lurkers or 4 golls + a dropship...

 

[Renzokuken]

...Shit. No tanks when terran that early?

 

[AKA-47]

Depends... The golls and the dropship can be microed, but on land maps it is usually better to get tanks. U should be able to get a few tanks in 5 minutes if u tech to it...

 

[Renzokuken]

Agreed.

 

[Zmoney]

that is true i think i can get tanks in about 5 min np

i had a simmiler prob ealier today i had 6 cannons defending my exp and seling my oponents out and the ass sent like 40 hydras at them they were no match

 

[Slick]

i'll check it out, i doubt 40 hydras can't deal with it, besides, he should have made 4-6 lurks...

6 cannons: 900/0
40 hydras: 3000/1000

...sounds to me that u're talking bulshit, unless u didn't mentioned that you had some zealots

 

[shrimpshark]

the cannons fell like i mentioned the cannons lost hydras won u took it the wrong way i was pissed that i only made 6 i didnt know he wanted my exp that bad i got him back for it though

 

[Slick]

oh, sry, shit happens... =]

 

[Renzokuken]

I hate guarding exps. So i make some on islands. Easier...sorta.

 

[AKA-47]

Yes, but also harder to reach. And in most MUs u will need an expansion before u tech to transports if u use the usual techs.

 

[Renzokuken]

Of course. I make 2 exps usually before transporting my original base probes or 1st xpan's to an island xpan and use them there.

Btw. I now use Protoss. I have this thing were i get crappy at one team. Use another, realise im good with them, and keep using them until i start to lose with them...alot. Weird ey.
