Today, I'll be talking about the FFE (Forge Fast Expand).
FIrst off, This and the 1 gate expand are top 2 ways of playing vs Zerg (while preparing for the late-game).
The typical build is this:
10 pylon
13 forge
[with 14 pool or sooner scouted]:
16 cannon
[no pool means you put nexus at 15-16 and cannon at 17]
17 nexus
18 Pylon + Gateway
This is very effective to get your economy to be greater than the awesome-macroing zerg race.
If you want to be aggressive and a 14 pool is not scouted, you can put a 15 nexus and 17 forge ( a "Nexus-First" build )
From this build, you can transition into a 7-8 gateway early push or a 5-7gate robo composition of blink stalkers and colossi.
Getting dts after a ffe is always a good idea [assuming opponent has no early detection].
Video of the FFE ingame (with transition into 6-gate push):
Thanks, and if you have any questions about this build feel free to PM me!
Also, if you want a build for a certain race or situation, just PM me and I'll help you out!
well what's standard now for a forge fast expand is 9 pylon, 17 nexus, 17 cannon 17 pylon ~18 gateway. Your economy will be great and your timings suck as the popular Parting Immortal All in will be crisper
