PvT, at the moment is my strongest match up. However, I often ponder on how much tech I should be getting off of 2 bases, between the 7-12 minute mark. In almost every PvT, I get 6 gates, a forge and my tech path of choice (robo/twilight). Later on, I add on an additional forge, etc. The amount of tech I get is working out very well so far and I haven't found a single problem with it.

However, I've seen many people go for 8 gateways, a robo AND a twilight, along with double forge. THey build their tech almost all at the same time.

My question is this: How much tech can a player actually get on 2 base and at what time can you starting teching?

Thanks and GLHF ALL

the answer is unlimited all comes down the time and resource.

watch day9 daily#475 PvT.
Sase's warp prism style Terran counter. It actually manages to get most of your tech out safely on 2 bases.

@Cyanide: I was watching it when I thought of this post LOL

Actually there is a formula for your question.

x2 / a2 - y2 / b2 = 1
y = ± (b/a)x
y2 / a2 - x2 / b2 = 1
where one = research time.

Hard to understand? No problem man!

As a protoss player, your tech is in relation to several factor.
Worker,Satuation,production speed,production choice .. .. etc are such example.

Still hard to understand? Here is the easy way out.

7G Allin +1 = 8.5min +/-
Immortal sentry = 10min +/-
3G 1Sg 1robo = 9min +/-
2b 4g dt rush = 9min +/-
i think....

Kinda hard to understand when you do not define anything.
What are x,y,a,b?
or is it x,x1,y,y2,a,a2,b,b2?
Define your variables man.

Isn't that the joke? Looks like formulae relating to quadratics, but it's been a while since i've done maths.

Really depends on what terran is trying to do in terms of early pressure that you can spec with obs. Pretty common and safe build is to go 3gates->Robo->Twilight+1forge->Psi storm. Once you have splash its a lot easier to take bases. Although it can be delayed depending on how many sentries you need on how early they intend to pressure and with what e.g. fast drops or a lot of rax
