1. You can do research and buid oil wells at the same time.Samowar wrote: Of course it still makes sense to fetch control of outlying oil wells early, but you can't really attack the enemy base without doing some research and building some defenses.
No, but surviving after a suicidal attack wave long enough to prepare the next attack wave does.zoid wrote:2. Atacking does not require defenses.
No, it doesn't. If it turns out to look suicidal, just retreat your army, and your army can still defend against enemy invaders. Even if you misjudge and get your army destroyed, you can build defenses (or rebuild your army) while that occurs, as well as immediately afterwards (if your opponent has enough mobiles for a counterattack, it's still going to take at least a minute for them to get to your base, and much more than that on many maps).Samowar wrote:No, but surviving after a suicidal attack wave long enough to prepare the next attack wave does.
It still surprises me how many people attack, realize that their attack won't be enough but instead decide to stay and deal out as much damage as they can to hopefully cripple their enemy and then having to waste half an hour rebuilding their force and trying again, either the enemy has enough units left to counter attack or they would have repaired everything.Zarel wrote: No, it doesn't.

So? Don't play one of those maps, if you want natural walls. Building defenses still isn't crazy, you just space them out, and start reinforcing once you see the direction enemy units are coming in. Of course T1 No Bases is a bit rushy, but play on a different game mode or map if you don't like that.devastator wrote:Ok,imagine map(there are many examples) where there are no any nature walls.All sides can be atacked.Building defenses is crazy,you MUST build units.And this is a perfect condition for rush.And most rushers today are not suicidal.WZ is rushgame now...that's why i'm trying to tell you that strong rebalance is needed.
What exactly are you talking about? MG Tower rush (driving your trucks into the enemy base and start spamming MG towers there) or MG Viper rush? In the last case the enemy needs time to build factory, HQ and some vipers. You can do the same things in the same time, it's what you probably would do either way. Then the enemy needs time to send the vipers to your base. This gives you time to build more vipers plus perhaps even some MG towers - which means you can defeat the enemy rush without slowing down the development of your base. You don't have to rush yourself (although you could counter-rush after you defeat the enemy rush), you just have to build some units early.devastator wrote:machingun rushes
Well... there's one solution for this: don't play against assholes who can't keep an agreement.devastator wrote:Well,when we agreed to not atack till 15th minute,on 8th minute this guy destroyed me with vipers.
No, rushing means "attacking as soon as you can". You don't have to do that, in fact, you get an advantage for sitting back and letting the enemy rush come in.And preparing factory,facility and HQ is rushing yourself!
