Does it resemble BW more? Especially the "by category" looks usefull. Any thoughts on this? | ||

These changes are fine. If I quit playing SC2 it'll be because it's boring, not because I have a 60% chance of losing against a particular race. | ||

All i'm saying is that if i build a bunker, i'm going to have 125 minerals less than if i didn't build a bunker. I can later salvage the bunker but i'll still have 25 minerals less than if i didn't build a bunker at all. It's the same with mules and scans. People like to argue that scans are "free" since they only cost energy - but i will still have 270 minerals less than if i didn't scan - cause of the lose mule. If that isn't "cost" to you than name it something else. Fact is that it's reducing the resources i would otherwise have. As the races different econ mechanics are not directly comparable, the only valid method is to compare the if- with the if-not- scenario like i did above. Edit: And yes, zerg buildings cost not only their minerals + 50 (from the drone) but also an increasing amount of minerals in lost mining time that accumulates over time. That's why you need to be careful as zerg not to suffocate your econ by building too many buildings at the same time. It's not "infinite" though but rather like "building cost" + 50 minerals + ~42 minerals per minute. what. Let's completely ignore the benefits you gain from building a bunker. or any zerg buildings. or anything in the game! You build a bunker, which prevents your workers from getting killed. Suddenly your bunker benefited you tons of more resource than its cost. Terran is opting to build the bunker because of these kind of benefits, and if you are really going to add lost mining time, you have to factor in all these things. Again, its just dumb to add all these in to each buildings cost, there is no end to it. | ||

They made the +25e upgrades because they wanted warped-in templars to have 75e for a storm, there´s no point to those if they take it away from the one unit where it makes a difference. I want to see some build time changes, reduced build time for Carrier and Mothership, so you don´t need 100% chronoboost just to get them to the time a Battlecruiser finishes. | ||

Fortunetly unstim marines can't dodge it, they are too slow, unfortunetly stim marines can (their speed is 3.37, while the Stalker is 2.9). | ||

Really hope this doesn't go through. The gateway +2/+2 mix with storm and immortals was such an interesting pvt style and even if it does well right now terrans haven't had time to figure it out 100%. It's so fucking rare to see a terran use emp properly vs a unit comp that's largely dependant on energy (as if the fact that 1000's of potential damage on shields wasn't enough to justify getting ghosts out and using them). | ||

After and while that is happening what can protoss do? Build high templar to have about 2-3 storms ready and have to wait 45 second every time they warp in a templar just to have it EMPed by a ghost? What else is an option? Transition into carriers? oh wait they have vikings thats not going to work. How about more collosus? Well just as you lose your entire army of collosus it will take too long to recover them even if you took out the bio ball with your first engagement. I'm just going to state that it doesnt look good for protoss in the mid-lategame anymore. | ||
