You should include build time.

Everyone's nitpicking at the tiniest detail. Sure, the observer builds faster. But go back to the cost analysis: the scout's advantage may seem small, but that's only if you compare 1 scout to 1 observer; if you want more than one scouting unit, the scout's advantage multiplies.

i think its true that they cant broodling reavers.
But they have no problem turning a tank into 2 bugs. What gives?

Tanks have a guy inside for broodlings to eat!

Hm, I knew I was doing something right in my mass-scout Bnet days.

Conclusion: Protoss are smart enough to make em both, but arent smart enough to combine them into one unstopable scouting machine.

Obs are needed for cloaked wraiths + mines so I'll rather go with the observer than scout even if I'm going carriers. Oh, and does anyone know what kills mass devourers faster: mass scouts or mass corsairs?

I can't believe people are responding seriously to this thread.


Great post, Qexen. If you had made this a guide, and entered it into the guide contest a few weeks back, you would have won the beta key EZ.

Ok first a few unmanly giggles escaped me while reading this.

I mean it's obviously a joke by the way he said minerals are so easy to get and scout wins the cost battle.

I think most of these questions are not important in real game and pretty useless. Why would a scout gain an advantage because it can take down a nexus? Would a person seriously use a scout or even a group of scouts to take down a nexus? No because it would take forever. The only useful question here asked is 'Can this unit fly by a turret without dying??'



Then I read yours and had a good laugh.

You should forward this to (P)Rock immediately. He doesn't need to waste 200/200 on a robo and 50/100 on an observatory to scout when he's going 2 base carriers anyway. Mines don't hurt carriers so he doesn't need detection.


Cloaked wraiths do though...

You forgot the quotes round. Observer can only repeat what other units/games/historical figures have already said while the scout has a badass rippling voice /and/ he speaks the native protoss language.

Scouts should have increased air to ground damage. This is one of the many changes Starcraft 1 needs. The balance is really perfect right now, but they could improve gameplay by buffing a little unused units, such as ghost, scout and devourer.

There is a reason you don't see progamers get uselessly expensive units like Carriers and stuff!
