Ah, zerg with infinite gas? You're going to mass mutas, and banelings, and make infestors as well? I didn't say you can beat a zerg just by making a bunch of marines and missile turrets... I was simply saying IF a zerg is massing mutas, I personally deal with it by ramping up marine production and making some turrets. If the zerg starts massing up something different besides mutas, then obviously you have to deal with it in a different way... | ||

Not really saying tryin got build 10^20 Banelings, but maybe 1 or 2 to every other muta you have, burrowing them and restricting movement for the marines so the mutas can go to work. You can also try to be sneaky and maybe drop some baneling in the back of his base and then burrow them ...when the mutas come around you can bate the marines in if you want. | ||

Ok here is the dynamic I'm talking about: This is how I'm thinking of things. Marines>Muta Banelings>Marines Raven>Banelings Muta>Raven Snipe off those ravens! I'm just talking about the matchup dynamic, where high level zerg players WILL dominate terrans. | ||

You're going to have a tough time just running in and sniping them without taking heavy losses. Things aren't as simple as you say. | ||

If you try to snipe *MY* raven, you're going to lose QUITE A FEW mutas doing it. And quite frankly I tend to make plenty of ravens because of PDD...It's not like I mass them or anything, but generally I won't have just one unless it's my first one. And when I do have them, chances are they are sitting right on top of my main force, with possibly a PDD planted there. You're going to have a tough time just running in and sniping them without taking heavy losses. Things aren't as simple as you say. Thats why I love this, the better player will come out on top! : D You have to have really good control, both people do. | ||

NO ONE uses them outside of early harass. hellions are enough early game pressure. reapers are too much. | ||

Maybe it'll enable auto unburrow og auto detonation though it seems a bit advanced. | ||

Right clicking on unburrow sets it to autocast. Enemy units that walk over it will casue the baneling to unburrow then explode. | ||
