Geiko, you are truly a remarkable asset to this community. I bow to your obvious intellectual superiority. | ||

Oh I know that you all are just messing around, it is late over here and I derped the paragraph, but I can read here and there guys on the thread that actually believe that this thing may actually be helpful. | ||

that way u can turtle, but have no more minerals left and encourages better unit compositions, and especially as they're adding more and more abilities to units like ghost drones... they should also give each race a capital unit who have special abilities ... but that's only if geiko's pearly wisdom isn't advanced first (which it will be) | ||

I'm truly sorry I didn't have the time to add some fancy Excel diagrams  My TL credibility ratio must be quite low.Worker pairing efficiency is the gimmick that is used to create diminishing efficiency for players with less bases in the DH9 and HMH models. The GEM approach creates inefficiency through a time-based approach instead of a local worker approach. As such the graphs you request would not be very interesting as it would be the same as the current HotS ot LotV graph. Linear up to 16 workers, then slightly concave and constant after 24. Once again, this is by design. Blizzard doesn't seem too keen on changing the efficiency curve. | ||

You're the one trolling, my idea is legit. Can't spell "Obv. Ok, legit" without "Geiko b LotV" | ||

High minerals patches yield 5 minerals per trip. Medium patches yield 3 minerals per trip. Low patches yield 1 mineral per trip. Bases all start with 8x1500 mineral patches like in HotS. This means that at the beginning, all workers return 5 minerals, then once the field has been about half-mined out, workers return 3 minerals from it, and then only 1 when almost mined out. Blizzard will like it because it accomplishes the same objectives as the current LotV economy:
DH supporters should like it because:
Everyone else will like it because:

Although we do want a higher economy in the late game to see insane production like in BW, we don't want to see the peak in the midgame or early late game and then fall off  . | ||

I'd love for this to be the one idea Blizzard takes, but I have two issues, this post will only cover one. Even with colored skins, I would have to spend a lot of attention monitoring various levels of mining at different bases. This just becomes more of an issue, for the more bases I have. To be efficient with economy, wouldn't I have to spam camera saves to all my bases to see what stage of mining out they were in? This is why I still think Hot Mineral Harvest competes. If I understand there is one drop in efficiency with at the second worker per patch. There is no babying minerals at bases to monitor levels, I actually think this is a big deal. Attention is a limited resource in sc2, wouldn't we rather spend it microing or building infrastructure than monitoring 3-5 min patches? OP how do you address this issue? | ||

Ahaha, that graph. :D I can take saving a graph as highly compressed jpeg. I can take the curve going in circles. I am ok with the lines being labeled hurr and durrr. But for some reason, after all that, not having a label for the y-axis really gets to me.  | ||

let's say both players are on 3 bases. Wich will probably be 1 on high, 1 on medium and 1 on low. Now there's a really narrow fight which one of the players wins by a small margin, just high enough to kill the high economy base. Now the player who lost that one fight is on 1 medium and 1 low base. He will have way too little income to have any chance of a comeback and can basically just GG out straight away. The way I'm thining about this, it seems to me like this would most likely turn out to push SC2 into a "1 fight and whoever wins got the game bagged" scenario. So in the end the whole "Win with a deathball" would change into a different kind of "win after one objective" state. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I really wouldn't like that. | ||

I think I'll update my model and make it only 2-state, 5 and 3 mineral yields. This way it will be basically the same amount of attention required as in current LotV. It would also have the benefit of being a lot more straight forward and easy to understand (high mineral vs low mineral). Two distinct skins will make it easier to visualize. | ||

I knew I had read this before at least once. It's just so obvious and (IMO) sounds good for the game. | ||
