Actually, the nexus has 1000 health and 1000 shields. It make sense because the nexus can always regenerate shields, but once it loses health, it will never be able to be at full health again. You can repair a command centre (which costs minerals, but I'm pretty sure the command centre has +2 armour) and use transfusion on a hatchery (which only requires energy). Same goes for the assimilator/extractor/refinery. | ||

Same goes for the assimilator/extractor/refinery. Also, originally, the nexus was 750/750, but the nexi were getting sniped repeatedly so they buffed protoss in this way. For the assimilator, their isn't really a good explanation except that the broodwar assimilator had 900 health and they didn't change it. | ||

I'd also like to ask: how far do you think a terran can go (I mean to which league can he go) by playing pure mech/mechair style? | ||

But it also depends on how well you can macro/use your units. If you can't micro a banshee for your life, I'd say you can't go pro. | ||

For example when I want to build a worker and I dont have the 50 minerals yet I hold the e bottom (probe) but I see people press repeatedly this bottom instead of holding it. Is it because of BW mechanics? Because I think it causes much more fatigue than just holding the bottom. | ||

It´s they same, when people clicking a thousand times on the ground, when they are sending their scouting worker just to have 200 or 300 apm for a while. | ||

Most common methods are: Reactor Hellion Hellion drop Cloak banshee Those are mean to buy time so you can get your expo and double upgrades goings for your mech army | ||

I know, I used to spam alot myself up until recently that I decided to try to kill all the spam I do, but I wonder why most people I see prefer to press the same bottom 50 times instead of just holding it. | ||

It might be linked to the whole APM spam argument. If players spam the button then their hands will be more used to the faster speeds. | ||
