Zock why are you so sexy?

Now a real question, when should you use the Wagner? When should you use the Rhino? What can these units counter respectively and what can counter them?

Hey Zock! If you could watch this replay between me and PEBBLE and tell me what I did wrong after having such a good early advantage (Aside from suicide ACU move and teching multiple mexes at same time - misslick) and give me some tips to improve I would really apreciate since I tend to have trouble with this type of small spam based maps against ladder veterans. Thank you!

Hello Zock!

I would like you to look at my replay and give your thoughts on why i lost after i was doing so well in all but the very end.
No hurry but I would appreciate an answer either in list or video like some of the others!

really good pizza needs no topping, and is better without. But such you find only in few places.

the pizza you can order and get delivered (here) varies hard in quality. Some places have better quattro formaggi, other better hollaindaise or tuna. Diavolo is usually always good.

Frozen pizza/TKP is garbage, no matter the topping.

Thanks Zock! Because I had those engies on attack move, they automatically assisted the mexes upgrading. It keep happening to me.

Hey Zock, love your stream! I played this match vs a friend. Wow did I fail. No idea what I did wrong though.
Any thoughts?

So I have a question about the how the torpedodefence works.
Does it work like underwater tmd and kills all torpedoes in range or does specifically target torpedoes homing in on the ship with the torpedodefence?

It is easy to react to threats with a teched commander. You have buildpower concentrated in one place, and where you need it in case of an atack.

If you make engies, they might be not there at the time, or will need some more time then the commander to build things because of pathfinding etc.

Also engies die easy, lets say stratbomb snipe, all engies would be dead after 1 bomb. Commander could still make shields.

Then the additional HP on top. It's better then shields, because you usually have a shield anyway, but you can't stack shields that well. HP also works if you run out of power etc etc.

And last, it is a "waste" of ressources, but in lategame, its a really small amount compared to all the mass you have.

I hope that are sufficent reasons

Hi! I have a question about one "pro move" I was wondering about after watching your gameplay videos...

It is late in the game, your ACU sits in the middle of base under shields, T2/T3 engies running around, and suddenly you decide to upgrade your commander to higher tiers. I understand it gives you more health and build power, but still, dont you consider it a big waste of resources? Building a couple of engies would give you same BP and shields would ensure your safety. Am I missing something important...?

You have the decicion between mass storage, and factory bonus.

Some random thoughts that influence the decicion:

-In 1v1, mass storage don't appear for a long time, but the factory bonus you get at once. If the game is close, and you feel like you will need any unit, you attach the factory to mex.

-If you tech your factory, you get more bonus, that can be more then a storage would give. But the storage mass bonus you can invest in anything, the factory one only in units of the factory. So for higher tech factories, storage is more flexible, factory attached more powerfull.

-The factories you don't tech, you can reclaim later, and still make storage, while profiting from the early attachment boost.

-You often have more mex then factories, so it will be late until you run out of mex that you can't surround with storage, even if you attach factories to mex.

-Clumping 4 facs together arround a mex can make pathfinding troubles, and make the mex not reachable with engies.

-Sometimes the mex is not at the position that would be good for the factory

So summarized, i'd say if you fight a lot early (1v1 usually) it is always good to attach factories to mex, unless you think the factory is not well placed there. If you don't really fight much early, and make eco (teamgames usually), it can still be good for higher tech factories, but you lose flexibility.
