with a 9pylon scout for instance, how much harass dmg must u be able to do versus for instance a terran for it to be cost-efficient? say i scout 9 and on meta and we're close, i then start harassing the 65-75% done despot worker, making him send his worker after me later when he scouts at 12, and have 1 scv chasing my worker to (which he must switch from time to time due to shield-recharge) is this actually worth the cost simply due to the harass dmg? or how much mineral wise do i fall behind with a 9scout compared to say a gateway scout (13)? | ||

For your first understandable question: if you don't kill the SCV outright, you have done no real damage; that SCV can still mine, build, etc. If you want to be cost-effective, kill the SCV and scout (hopefully escaping alive). For your second understandable question: If you send a worker scout earlier, then that worker scout would not have mined minerals during the time you were scouting with it. If you send it later, more workers would be mining minerals before you sent the scout. So, basically, it's like losing one probe. It's alive, and scouting the enemy base, but it's not mining minerals, so as a result, you have one less mining probe worth of minerals. I hope that's not too confusing. | ||

This game got me wondering...MKP attacks Clide at his base, Clide sacs all his SCVs at his natural to help defend. MKP loses his whole army, while Clide loses half of his SCVs. At this point, MKP should be building bunkers and defending, right? MKP has twice Clide's SCVs so the longer the game goes on, MKP will have a bigger and bigger advantage. Clide has an army advantage because he pulled his SCVs to help defend. Instead, MKP tries to expand. That is just simply the wrong move, right? He already has the eco advantage, and barring a hero banshee/hellions, he will stay way ahead... As a general rule of thumb, the guy who pulls SCVs should attack soon, while the guy who killed the SCVs should play defensive? Assuming roughly equal macro. | ||

I hope that's not too confusing. well im sorry if i phrased my question *in a bad manner. but as for your answere i can't quite grasp while you ignore his mining time lost and his building time lost? e.g.: as i play random all terrans are required to wall of ramp: meaning a kind of long walk for him to counter my probe harass at once when i come i shoot at the scv making the 75% done supply despot he at once sends a new scv to stop me once he gets there i can picture the supply-making scv at 25 or 20 health he will ofc combat me with his full health worker while starting his rax 45health scv battles my 40 health probe ofc, but at some point he must switch out this scv 2 (thereb for a short period he will have 1 scv transfering back, 1 scv transfering to combat probe and 1 scv building rax OR a delayed rax) is this a cos-effective scenario compared to a allmost no damage 13probe scout? and i just wonder if any1 know the aprox min lost for me compared to him | ||

Either box-select the scv and press s, or click the building and press "qs" to select the scv then tell it to stop. | ||

I played two games today, and I got beat twice. First time was by mass marine/tank, second time was by mass mutalisk. I play protoss. Both times I saw what my opponent was making, I simply just didn't have the correct counter. My simple question is do I counter mass marine/tank with zealots and immortals? Also for mutalisks, by Phoenixes? | ||

Example: A seige tank in seige mode against zealots and a DT. Will the DT take damage if it's in the middle of the zealots? | ||

Likewise, the response may be very different depending on whether you lost early or late; a handful of marines and 2 tanks pushing early is very different to deal with than a 200/200 army with 16 tanks supported by a ton of marines slowly doing a doom push through all four of your bases. 6 mutas flying in and destroying your mineral line is very different than a zerg attacking with 120 food worth of mutas off four bases. Neither mutalisk harass nor marine/tank is a "cheese" strategy that you'll be able to beat just by knowing the right counters. tl;dr: more stuff counters less stuff. Can't give good strategy advice without replays. Check out the "analyzing replays" thread. | ||
