Ive been thinking that my macro is stronger midgame than almost all other players because i play with a low amount of workers if an optimal amount of workers per base could be found, then people could perhaps save hundreds of minerals that would be better spent on other things i've tested it scv/probe returns linear to worker count up to around 20 workers (800/minute) drones return about 680/16 workers but it evens out at around 21/22 workers | ||

I think zerg is the race in which you actually have to specifically measure your drone count. | ||

More workers = more expos = more money = more gateways = more wins. ... thats a pretty dumb question... what if you don't have enough expos to make use of all your workers.. your equation is correct except the first part more workers != more expos making more workers does not give you more expos making expos gives you more expos, for which you need more workers for. | ||

I think it depends a lot on what map, how many mineral patches and how close they all are. I think we can all assume that the minerals were as close as possible in a normal base but what map was it? | ||

Conversely, if you have too many lings, you won't have a good economy. Zerg has the hardest macro for this reason, to master. plus zerg units are more cheaper in terms of minerals most of the time =P | ||

What i mean by that is that anymore workers than 36 won't increase the rate of money collection I can work out the set of integrals for it if you REALLY REALLY wanted to ;p takes a while but, hey, i am a serious friggin nerd ;P | ||

Because sometimes you may want to get a little less of workers to get more units or a faster tech. You get the edge out fo your economy at a particular time you want. Like for example a 3 rax rush vs a zerg. You won have enought money early game for units from 3 raxes + depots. | ||

That's off of memory. hmm yea thats what i thought the larva. i remembered that long time ago before brood war, people used to be able to mass hydras off of 1 or 2 hatcheries and make a huge number. but now you need atleast 3. i knew it wasnt the cost for the drone. | ||

the only time you really stop is if your becoming a bit short on cash while your massing up or if you want a certain tech or building or unit. also obviously i wouldnt make workers when im trapped in my base. rule of thumb for me is whenever my eyes pass my main building, or if my screen passes it, i make a worker or 2. in my expo i make about 7 for minerals and 3 for gas after i transfer 12 from my main. i try to have more workers in my main than my others. seems that my static defense placement is good so no one attacks my main. they go for my expos. building placement for toss is so strange. 3 or 2 nicely placed gateways can create such a burden for zergs. | ||
