For terran it can sometimes be more efficient to BW style macro if you have alot of rax because it allows you to que up the exact right amount of marines and marauders in the reactor/techlab.

if you are just using mbs its easy to que up one too many marines which then goes into the techlab rax and blocks a marauder, or to only que up one rine in a reactor rax because its hard to tell from the wireframe.

I actually miss BW macro, IMO it was more satisfying and you could really feel how many units you were making.


I believe they changed this now and the game chooses what is faster for you. There is no more confusion and having to decide, computer does it for you now.


sure, a marine defaults to reactor and marauder to techlab, but if you que 8 marines and only have 3 reactors two will go into the techlabs and block potential marauders
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

I don't see the value of this thread. You found one person who successfully plays with a bad style - I don't see that as threadworthy.
