I got bored and decided to do this:

Its interesting the position of the destructible rocks. If u destroy them u will have a more direct ground route to ur enemys base, but on the other side, he will have an easier acces to ur base... Im loving this simetrical stuff.

The last time I played, Warpgates were available so early, built so quickly, and cost so little (I think it was seriously just 25 minerals and that's it), that proxy gates were completely unnecessary. Not that it can't change, just that I think the idea is for them to be super easy to get.

He said stargates not warpgates.

Ah so he did. Well that's just retarded.

What — your mistake or his idea?

He was talking about a proxy pylon for Warp-in AND Stargates.

What is the point of a "proc stargate"?

Well, either/or depending on the situation.

If the enemy controls the middle, I'll fly in a Warp Prism and mass a Warp Gate units in the corner. If I can control the area, I'll build proxy Robotics bays and Stargates. They're a good area for those kinds of things, is all I meant.

The same as a proc(proxy) anything.

But but but they make flying units.... someone else explain it. Ive got to finish my MULE entry for today.

You know how many proxy Barracks I've seen in pro games? Thousands.

You know how many proxy Starports I've seen in pro games? Thousands.

Just because a unit can bypass terrain and another can't bypass terrain doesn't exclude the fact that either still needs to travel X distance in Y time.

If getting to the battlefield faster didn't matter, Warp-In wouldn't exist. It applies to air units the same as ground units.

Also, aside from that, there are other reasons to build outside your base. Just look to the BR's to see the importance of having buildings your opponent doesn't know about.

Show me one and Ill believe.
