Yes, vultures. In a game where I have like triple the mineral income cuz of mules and greedy builds, yes, very fair. And Goliaths simply aren't necessary. We have solid anti armoured air in vikings, anti light air in thors and mines and plenty of good vs ground units. People only want Goliaths because they want everything that's not Broodwar to be more Broodwar. Mech tvz is gonna be horrible til they fix 4 things 1) mass PDD is silly 2) mass swarm host is silly 3) the way mining works makes it hard for Zerg to properly exploit a terran when he has a huge eco advantage 4) Mech units aren't super effective enough to make up for the fact that they're getting massively out eco'd by a 50 base Zerg. Until then it's gonna be these massive drawn out games since neither army can force a real engagement unless something weird and stupid happens. Terran has to turtle forever and amass a huge air force since swarm hosts negate ground attacking almost completely. Zerg has to Swarm hosts to maintain pressure or terran will just take the map far too easily. If you're lucky the Mech terran is some timing attacker who just makes thor hellbat banshee or something and ends the game before the brain starts dribbling out the ears. | ||

The Raven is supposed to be the indirect healer unit of mech by shielding the units (there is a reason free units are priority when a-moving), but since mech is the slowest with the shortest range of all 3 races Raven's can only help in bunkering up. So either the Warhound approach for a-moving through, or the Tempest approach. For the Tempest approach the other race have more then enough means to push back a mechline. But if Mech works at high level like people want it to work, it will be to much to handle for lower levels. | ||

Didn't even think of that. Mules + reactored vultures are scary on paper. | ||
