I think the hard part about bio is to figure out build orders and transitions. Maurauder is so weak against Chargelots and Marines are so weak against AOE. On the other hand, when you get your composition consisting of SV's, Maurauders, a few Marines and Vultures, nothing really stops you as long as your macro is strong and unlike mech, your a lot more mobile. But IMO it is something that needs to be kinda figured out, because there are a lot of deadly timings that will kill an unexperienced bio player in TvP. | ||

I don't think there will be a full on Starbow forum because to be honest it's still fairly limited, what do you think of race specific threads like the sc2 ones? Is anyone here willing to maintain them? I'd be willing to make a Protoss one and maintain it. I might need a bit of a hand in terms of quality control as I am thus far pretty terrible at Starbow! | ||

As long as you can keep a reasonable OP with a few faq's and maybe a couple of bo's, that'd be fine. I am trying to figure out a format that isn't unwieldy. I think a 'general' Starbow strategy thread, that explains the economy differences and the different behaviours of units etc, changes to armour etc. Then have racial-specific threads, that link to that, but are primarily dealing with build orders and those kind of discussions? As someone who has dived into this mod without enough reading, despite vague knowledge of Brood War I was getting hammered hardcore by the different flow of the economy. It's great, but it took me quite a while to really get a hold of things because there's not really a central point devoted to race-specific builds. At least the anti-fans complaining that Starbow is overhyped have ceased to clutter up the big thread at least  | ||

That way it is easily navigable and confusion can be easily cleared up. | ||

Been playing a bit with this vs 1rax gasless expo w/ bio follow up, and after talking a bit with Dirty (aka Foxxan), I have some thoughts on the build. - 14CC lines up really well with a 2 rax (1 techlab, 1 reactor) followup. 1rax expand feels more ackward (which means you get stuff out a bit later). - 14CC is probably safe if you build it on the high-ground and scv-scout. - The counter to 14CC, 1techlab, 1 reactor follow up is hatch, hatch, pool --> lots of banelings (which kills the 8-8:30minute stim timing attack). - Dirty argued though that you the terran player should scout the doublehatch opening and react by delaying gas and going for heavy marine pressure out of 3 quick barracks. Overall, though, I still think more pressure oriented builds (Reaper/Vulture's) are better. I think if zerg scouts the 14cc he should be aware that terrans follow-up options generally come later (esp since Stim takes a bit too long too research). While the zerg doesn't have to go doublehatch before pool, I think he can still defend a quick 3rd on a good drone count with a good bling sized army (instead of rushing to Mutalisks). | ||

I think (for now) it would be great if you made a protoss subsection that I could put into my OP. | ||
