In Starcraft 2 you start with 6 scouting units.

If they gave every race a little "scout" unit along with your 6 workers (an SCV that can't mine) that would be a much more elegant solution. It's never going to happen though. | ||

I wonder what the game would be like...the player with better macro always win? You'd never be able to drop either. Protoss would probably rape face. Nah Zerg would. You be able to know exactly when to build Drones and when not too. See your Protoss buddy chrono Probes? Time for 12 Drones. If he is making an Army, pool your Larva. Eventually the timing of every attack could be figured out down to the Larva. | ||

I know you are speaking hypothetically but I will have to disagree. Both players are under the same economic pressures and both players have to deal with the same possibilities of being cheesed. So it is a choice of the player to scout or not with their workers substituting economy for information. It is a great dynamic of the game that should stay as it is. I think that lower level players just need to learn how to scout better. | ||
