If you place the tower bottem right under goldmine in the top picture, your actually get gold returning peons poping behind your mine with decent number of peons, slowing your flow. You want tower close to the top to spot someone towering u

definitely.. this scenario is more @ start of game.. when p stopping is still happening. and I'd only want the tower right/under the gold mine if there was so much pressure that it was looking like the tower under the rax was gonna get compromised.. which typically means u lost peons trying to rep that tower/attack opponent grunts. i put a farm to the left of it after things settle down.

main reason I like that tower under gold mine on right side is it still covers almost everything.. enemy grunts can't hug the town hall without still getting hit.. and only real option for them to continue an offensive tower against 12 is sneaking a peon behind the town hall and putting a tower there, which can be pretty tricky.. especially if 12 is looking for it.

if one enemy is towering 12, and other enemy is rushing from 2, enemy from 2 normally p stops for a short period if time. they CAN get in if you don't p stop for a little bit

Assuming you both make your tower at the same time, under the barracks is a huge newb play. Next to farm and under mine will be required soon after.

2nd tower worked great too because the tower under the rax he made still defended his 2nd tower.. both towers were in range of enemy tower under/left 12. and gave you more wiggle room outside 12.

I don't care what anyones done, if both players make towers at the same time then the tower under the barracks is dumb as fuck. Anyone with half an idea of how to play war2 would realize this.

Yeah I disagree. There should be no issue at all with that. Simply because 12 doesn't have to move his viewfinder hardly at all. All of his grunts pop right up on his screen. All of his peons are in his screen. Everything is right there. That's a huge advantage

How does that stop a tower dying to the towerbug?

With a little bit of unit control you have a lot more units to take and spread out the damage

They are typically limited to whatever grants they bring to the battle, which will most likely be a little bit less than your amount of grunts, and maybe two or three peons that built the towers

If 12 forces little spurts of action at the right time 2 is either going to miss the timing to create grunts, or suffer with unit control while the action is taking place because he is trying to bounce back to his base to make grunts. And then get those grunts over to 12. 12 is going to be able to manage the situation more efficiently because it's all right there in his base
