What is the proper way to execute a really quick rush on low res? I keep loosing to a 3-grunt rush, followed up by a 2nd wave of grunts. What's the right build order, etc?

Ok i've been able to pull off a 4 grunt rush on low, but i get sooo far behind in development that it hinders me for the entire game. Any suggestions? my Build order is:

town hall, farm
peon goes to gold
make second peon
peon goes to gold
make third peon, send for lumber
make fourth peon, send for lumber
make fifth peon, send for lumber
Take peon off gold to make barracks once i have 350 lumber...take peon off lumber once i get to 250 gold, make farm. When barracks and farm are done, send them both for gold. Make 4 grunts, rush.

What can i improve on, or is there a totally different way of doing it?

Well first of all thats a strat for a map where you know the guy is super close to you (1 way in 1 way out for instance), but if you want to have a decent rush do a 3farm rush, its more powerful, 4 farm is even better for 1v1's on big maps where the person won't likely find you for awhile.

skirmishbne / low is another 1 way in/out, and I got rushed with 5 grunts from someone who did a 1 farm scrub rush.

SOTH UR FUCKING GAY FAGGOT. PLEASE NEVER POST AGAIN.

Kith is certainly right, the only time
you want to limit yourself to a 2 farm rush
is if _for certain_ they are next door.
Otherwise build for the economy..
Another example of a map where you typically
won't be found right away is B2B. On such
maps a 4/5 farm rush is definetly the way
to go... hey...I've even lost to 6fb once on
that map.

I agree

instead of making farms, just make dragons really quick! then go eat sushi with your friends, and pat them on the back! but instead of patting them on the back, you take a knife and ram it in their spine! if that doesn't work, speak in latin to confuse them! then spin them around 5 times! then push them off a big hill! then they roll down and get really, really dizzy! after that, feed them poison rice! if that doesn't work, then slit your wrists and sing old Neil Young songs while twiddling your thumbs!

remember, if all else fails...drink a nice warm mug of vodka! then put on your old bunny slippers from 3rd grade and eat popsicles all night long! the soothing action will make it all better...
