    Looking at blue's metal income, at 4:56 it jumps from 74 to 134 - why? I see no reason for it. No more mexes were built, and there are no jigs. Adding up the 5 mexes plus the 2 commanders only gives about 75 metal/sec. Where is this extra metal suddenly coming from?

    Please help me understand. Thanks.

    I can guess without looking at the replay that he was reclaiming trees with a combat fabber. And it would make sense too, because combat fabbers reclaim things at 60 Metal per second.

    Don't underestimate the power of the treeconomy.

    Yeah, what @Corgiarmy said. Look at the blue commander at 4:56. A combat fabber has just been built and starts reclaiming the commander with the fabber. So trading health for metal.

    Which is really risky... A few stray bombers or an ambush by dox and a low health com is toast....
