Why do you think Blizzard chose 300 for the building? It's no coincidence buddy, they did it because to make things equal it would be 300 + 50 + 50 = 400 just like the other races. No joke, I dont even know why this is a debate, it doesn't matter anyway but the answer is obvious. lol :D I start to really like this thread hope it stays open for a while edit: even missed some better posts on page 1 cause so many answers in so little time. | ||

Edit: Here's the original thread from the official forums. Common Misconception: Replacement Drones I post this here to suggest that you have a look at that mess before arguing this point one way or another. | ||

300 Hatchery. 50 For the Drone Lost. 50 For the Drone to replace it. It's not a hard concept to understand. You don't get 10 supply from it, and thats equivalent to a supply depot plus 2 supply which is 100 minerals there. So if Zerg hatcheries are cost 400 AND need an overlord to get what you get out of your main buildings, then Command centers and Nexi are cost 500. We can sit here and argue all day, but theres one thing for sure, Blizzard didn't just say, DERP lets make it 300 minerals just cause DERP. | ||

The only other cost you take apart from the 300 you use to make the hatchery is the 50 you use to replace the lost drone what you are saying is just circumnstancial and it will never happen in a real game situation. If we're going to decide the cost of the hatchery based on the context in which it is made, at least provide a plausible context | ||

You start with nothing, you spend 350 minerals, and end up with the exact same thing (no units) but +1 hatchery. CC's cost 400 minerals correct? So if you started with 400 minerals and no SCVs... you spend 50 minerals to purchase an SCV and now you can't buy the CC... in order to have "CC and 1 worker" you need 450 minerals in this scenario, just as in order to have "hatchery and 1 worker" you need 400 minerals. Are you going to argue now that a CC costs 450 minerals? No. | ||

And dont forget about the travel time, if the drone has to move across the map, that is once again lost harvesting time. Its fuzzy math after that /sarcasm off If you decide, " I want to make a hatchery" you have 2 ways to view what it will cost you. You can make a drone, and make the hatchery. OR you can pull a drone, make the hatchery, and replace the drone. 350 one way, 400 the other + fuzzy math of course. Or if you like to play in traffic like me, I just build the hatchery and forget about the drone replacement drone for a few minutes, which probably then makes the hatchery cost about 600... I think this post account to a room full of people arguing about the color green, when half of them are colorblind. Everyone is right in their own head, while everyone is with conflicting opinions. | ||

"a hatchery costs 300, but zerg buildings require that you sacrifice a drone to build anything" done then you can explain that drones cost 50 minerals and are capable of all kinds of neat things other than building hatcheries, this is what matters the most. | ||

Niether, who is to say you're right and I am wrong or Fail or a Troll, I think both of your responses to this thread are the dumbest yet and the true trolling. | ||

the problem for zerg is not really about spending 400 or 300 imo the much bigger problem always will be, that you have very very limited larvae and can not effort to waste one in early game. so increase, if others cry about it, but then increase the larvae count | ||
