So is it playable to make barracks->mule->cc->mule buld¿ like twin hatcheries to abuse muling one mineral line and at the same time saturate the same min line with workers/mules¿ | ||

I do want to see someone call down a mule to repair though! At least on sc2armory it lists the mule as being able to repair like any scv would.. would be awesome to drop tanks and repair them if they took a beating =P. If the mule could build bunkers that'd be even sweeter^^ Come to think of it I wonder if the mule could emergency repair your wall without blocking other SCV's One thing I don't like so far: Unless you're zerg it seems from what I've seen that expoing is extremely risky. I've almost never seen a player that goes for an expansion FIRST win the game. He usually just gets his expansion killed by more units while the OTHER guy takes an expansion. Might just be because nobody has good buildorders, but I don't get the feel of stuff like 12 nexus or forge fast expand where you can almost be completely safe in expanding early unless your opponent spots it right away and goes for a hard to pull off counter. It may be a macro game but it looks like a macro game off of 1 base so far =( | ||

It forces the ambitious player to regularly execute a boring, purely mechanic task, regardless of game situation, in order to assure optimum income. This is the stuff robots are good at - no thinking, no adaptation, no creativity, no game sense needed. I am sure someone somewhere is already programming a tool to automate this. How is that different from returning to your base, selecting idle workers and right clicking them on the mineral fields? Blizzard couldn't intentionally ignore new available UI options (automine and MBS wasn't in SC purely because programming didn't allow it at the time) if they wanted to sell SC2 to casual gamers. I do agree that Protoss Chrono mechanic is way better than mule or inject larva though | ||

Note, the worker thing was explicitly removed in SC2 by automine. So why introduce the mule/larvae/chronothingy cooldown mechanic instead? | ||
