blocking one path of two

Here’s a perfect example of why path analysis and tactical analysis should go together.

This map has two paths through the center. Johan Kayser’s bot has thoroughly blocked one path. WuliBot knew better than to confront the bunker farm head on, but never seemed to conceive the idea of bypassing it by taking the other path through the center. WuliBot could have walked unopposed into the terran base.

Instead, terran eventually won.

Or just go reavers to destroy all the bunkers :)

I like that because it’s easy, and easy counts for a lot! if (enemy has X) { build Y to counter } But it’s not as reliable. Terran might get tanks and drive the reavers off. Bypassing the bunkers is guaranteed to give an advantage, because terran spent 700 minerals on stuff that will be out of the fight.
