granted, it probably came from German to English rather than the other way around, but it's still pretty funny. | ||

Should not have told the community of this exploit as now it will be over abused. 2v2's will go to shit now. Nerf P! wait what? anyway - cool! ^^ | ||

Extractors are the cheapest to build (1 supply=1/8th of an overlord not needed=12.5 less cost), a assimilators don't require the extra mining time. drones are also 50 minerals, so an extractor is actually 75, just like an assimilator or a refinery. drones also takes time to build. assimilators are easily the best option since the probe can just go back to mining. even if you do start off with six drones, you will need them. refineries are not that bad, either, at least the scv will mine gas once he's done constructing. effectively communicating with your partner when you need that gas and him transferring control to you is not really worth it, imo. this is really not an issue, though. if it makes any difference to gameplay, it will be miniscule to say the least. gas mechanics seems very well balanced. 2v2 is all the rage now, apparently. -_- | ||

He is aware the total cost is equal, but an extractor is still theoretically cheaper since the drone loss is equal to 1/8 of an overlord, or 12.5 minerals. However, extractors are worth 1 larva as well, which arguably is worth a lot more than 12.5 minerals. | ||

However, extractors are worth 1 larva as well, which arguably is worth a lot more than 12.5 minerals. This is completely, there is no 12.5 minerals. Let's imagine you had the ability to un-train an scv and get 50 minerals at the end of building your refinery. Would you? Obviously not, so the cost of a larva is unquestionably worth more than the value in the temporarily available supply. | ||
