How long does a MULE last? Can you get points with custom matches? Or can they only be gained through the matchmaking system? The reason I ask is to do with the whole rematch thing, say on iccup where the opponent asks for a rematch, is that even possible now? | ||

Also, with the "bonus damage" system, as opposed to BW's explosive/concussive system, weapon upgrades make units more well-rounded in SC2. In BW weapon upgrades give Dragoons +1 damage against small(going from 10 to 13), +2 damage against large(20 to 26.) Immortals get +2 damage against light(20 to 26), +2 damage against armored(50 to 56.) Do you feel like counters get somewhat softer as time goes on? Or is this small difference largely negligible compared to the blobs of unit mixture found lategame. I'm guessing that basic upgrades are one of the last things you think about with a shiny new game, but the Zealots and Colossi really got me wondering. Thanks for your time! | ||

Are tech routes like Colossi (as opposed to, say, HT) more attractive if you're up on upgrades? Yes they are, however, they have slightly different roles obviously. But upgrades work WONDERS. I almost think things die too quickly tbh. 12 reapers can take out a CC/Nex/Hatch in prolly 4-5 throws each, which aint that long =p Do you feel like counters get somewhat softer as time goes on? TBH, it depends on the counter for me, or maybe I just haven't experienced it enough. But if you see a marauder on a stalker with the marauder at +2 weapon, that stalkers get wtfpwned, like it's not fair, and god forbid the marauder uses stim. That's just one example I've seen from my teammate getting rolled lol. Or is this small difference largely negligible compared to the blobs of unit mixture found lategame. Just wanted to separate the questions. Sometimes your build calls for upgrades or sometimes you just forget. But atm, it's hard to play against someone of very equal caliber, meaning if someone goes upgrades they have a distinct advantage, if they didn't already. And I haven't checked the numbers, but if yours are correct then there's your reason why. Blob of units yes, however, say you're on Protoss and you have +2 ground and +1 armor, your army is going to consist of stalkers zealots and maybe colossus/ht. They're all getting the bonus. They're all pizzlepooning. | ||

Since its on a timer, what the max amount of minerals it actually brings in? You can tell Terran is already going to be a very upper-skill driven race when the Protoss 'macro mechanic' is a one button press that increases research/build times by 50%, whereas Terran's 'macro mechanic' is only beneficial provided you can macro and spend additonal resources. It really seems like it pales in comparison to Zerg's additional larva and Protoss' speed boost, but I guess the reactor attachments make up for this. | ||

They're all pizzlepooning. I think it's because the damage bonus sometimes doesn't get upgraded. I remember the protoss air units don't. The Phoenix gets a bonus against light and the void ray against armored but the bonus doesn't get upgraded, just the base. The Immortal and Stalker, however, gets their bonus damage upgraded alongside their base. | ||

Can concussive mines be used similiar to mines in SC1, where you sort of throw them ahead of your sieged tanks when being assaulted from the front? Letting maruader/marines act as a meatshield. | ||

I also noticed in a game that it seemed like a computer player took over for a guy that disconnected. Is that right? If so, how good is that AI? | ||
