Terraform
 

Today I had an interesting 48 minutes PvT. I took 4 bases and was taking my 5th at the gold. During the course of the game I realized something interesting.



Still dont get it? Look at the probe AI pathing
Have fun

The probes cant see over the top of the minerals.. they cant see the nexus staring them blatantly in the face hahaha

I had a game on Terraform today where my drones refused to go build a hatchery because a queen on hold position was in the way of their chosen pathing... except there was an open path on the OTHER side of my main hatchery.

I was all 'Where is my natural? WHY IS IT NOT BUILT?!?!?!'
Then I saw the idle worker button, and the drone arguing with my queen XD

lol yeah I get that a lot when I have a gap that I hold the zealot on and the probe insists on passing it when it could go around but refuses to! Works for zerglings without control too though so I guess it's predictable.

What amused me most was it didnt just go to just one nexus from the other side... it went to both my 3rd AND my 4th nexus (bases). I was in a hurry so I just directed my probes to the gold, some from each nexus. During the game I didnt quite process what is actually happening to possibly correct it... just sat back to enjoy this unique AI experience each time I looked at it. (The terran was a meanie)

Just had another interesting game PvZ this time on this map. I've had a few epic games on this map. But I learnt or is reminded that the creep cant spread beyond the bushes without sight. So creep spread can be slower in the middle if the zerg isnt vigilant. ^_^
