so in bw, if you want 4 facts "at full capcity" it costs 1150 minerals and 600 gas (considering shops and rax) and for toss it costs 750 mins for four gates "at full capacity" yet terran seem to be doing pretty well lately.

Relatively cost effective terran units make it fair

At first I thought, "what a dumb thread, so many things not taken into account"
then I thought, "Well pvt is pretty easy"
and then I thought "oh wait, most sc2 terrans never even get siege tanks"
and then I finished my sandwich

I assumed coming into this thread that it would be about tech labs costing too little. Terran whine threads are just sad, learn to play/stop trolling please

Where on earth did you get the idea that terran and protoss should have identical routes to higher tech in order for there to be balance?

And here I was expecting 'tech labs cost too little and take too little time to get'.

But if Orcs have bloodlust shouldn't humans have bloodlust as well?

Wow guys, this was not a hate thread. This was an interesting thought about the game play of sc2.
I'm not going 'omg my terran race is overpriced QQ'

I was just having a thought as to why terran late game might be weaker than the other races.
NOTE: This is in the blogs not strategy or help or any forum thread

Even after terran nerfs, I'm still climbing the diamond ladder and proud of it. So this was supposed to be a discussion of thoughts of how the price of addons affected the game.

I was expecting people to complain about them costing too much, to be honest.. Haha.
"boohoo terran is OP anymore qq make it cost lesssss"

I think they're perfect the way they are, in any case.
Like Gecko said, different races are different. ;p
