I have always wondered about hall position at 2, classic gow, of course. 2 hall positions seem to me more or less �logical�: one is the usual position, below the mine & the other one is to the left of the mine, on the hall � sized land spot. Is mining speed different 4 these 2 spots? Once I was fucking around & made halls at both positions there & peons were walking to the left hall. Doubt it means anything, just wondering why is it so? Cos of �top left� rule?
Left hall position allows your peons to chop trees above the mine with minimal walking distance, which is nice. Of course, u can just put a mill there, but sometimes u have to wait with your mill (hate chopping w/out a mill, but shit happens).
Concerning building space both positions seem equal, unless you like to put your farm (I mean hall under the mine) under the hall at the tree line � peons may pop under the hall. With hall left to the mine you can put mill at the bottom treeline & chop there.
Well, I doubt all of this really matters compared with the mining speed. Maybe I am missing something, tell me if I do.
The question is: has any1 consistently tried both hall positions? If he did, his opinion will be greatly appreciated, as well as any other input. Thanks.
