Terrans continue to accumulate gas well into the late game because gas is harder to get than minerals. | ||

Its better to have too much gas than not enough as any protoss will tell you. As for the topic at hand - you can only get gas at a set max rate whereas moving workers from gas to minerals makes mining minerals less efficient overall. Bank and use the gas for late game is a legitimate strategy. | ||

Because Protoss has HT/Archon and collosus 1:3, and 3:2 min to gas ratio , good gas dumps both can do high splash damage. When playing bio marine all minerals, marauder 4:1 min gas ratio, ghost 2:1, viking2:1. Minerals are the constraint not gas until pros find way to somehow make adding ravens to bio viable, bcs, thors and tanks will probably never be useful. Not saying anything is imba or anything just you come off as pretty arrogant with your "fixed" style reply to him when you don't seem to understand the race you are talking about. Even if you watch any pro tvp macro game its often pretty obvious their minerals are being constrained much more than their gas once their 3-3 is done. | ||

OT: I also feel that I keep banking up a lot of gas near the mid-late game. But I can't do anything about it since my main army composition revolves around marines and tanks. What I usually do is remove SCVs from gas and put them on minerals or bring them with my army. (SCVs are great meat shields ) | ||

and its much harder for terran to spend gas quickly, since you need additional infrastructure while protoss and zerg don't | ||

Before about 30 minutes terrans float *some* gas, but not all that much, then suddenly all their upgrades finish and their units have a mineral-heavy mix leading to gas because they don't take SCVs off gas. It is quite wasteful from a worker/economy perspective, but it's one of many small things which players do/don't do which sets their game far away from perfection. It's also not something terrans feel concerned enough about because it's not particularly material, since they have mules to make up for the econ, and they sac "enough" SCVs lategame if they go mass CC to have a large army and still maintain good enough economy that they extra 3~6 food from saccing a couple of geysers of SCVs doesn't matter compared to all the other little things they mess up. | ||
