expanding is a big part of the game. especially on 40k maps but even on gow. now, i have basic questions that may sound dumb but i never really asked. first on gow i have a nice lil rush where i get 2 rax and mill b4 i chop. i usually go level 5 and lust. now, if i xpand with 15k left i can block the expantion and not bring home peons? how low can u let ur gold run b4 u need home peons. protecting ur xpantion is big 2. i used to use a cannon, but what are your feeling on 3 guards. he cant sap u then.

just dont wait until your mine is gone to expand, ive seen so many people move all their peons to another mine, during an attack and get raped

On 40k maps you need troops not towers. You can have 5 guards and I'll still sap you if I wanted.

if he has 5 guards u can get a sap but it will probaly get killed before it even gets 3 spaces near his base
