Your second sentence is a False Dilemma, and not even a good one. Blizzard wanted zerg to be swarmlike and that's why it's balanced how it is. Zerg's lategame composition isn't even that much if any stronger than other's, zerg just gets it faster out which leads to balancewhines when T or P cries why their tier 1/2 units can't beat maxed out tier 3 army. I don't know if there's problem with balance or game design, but for me it seems stupid to cry about the count of something. You know, zerg can have 400 zerglings at once, that gotta be overpowered as it's twice as much as terran can have marines!! TLDR: Pretty obvious, broodlords are worse than other T3 units, therefore zerg can have more them than other races can have their T3. | ||

The funny thing is, I play Zerg and I'm always wondering why Protoss-players just doesn't do any transition into air units, cause often you see that for Zerg-players its different to deal with any air pressure, cause if you morphed in many broodlords, it means you can't have any strong AA. In fact, why not playing any unit composition like Void Ray, Archon, Colossus and Mothership? My first post got longer that i thought it would^^ And I'm sorry for the mistakes that might are in this text; It's just the english that I learned in school and by watching films and TV in english  | ||

I'd much rather we knew more about this and who it is and then the map designers can intergrate themselves into the map making community more and perhaps listen to ideas about features that would be beneficial to map makers, and who knows, perhaps they might learn to make a decent map or 2 for the map pool themselves | ||

To find a balance between how many broodlords do I morph in and how many corruptors do I leave remaining as AA is hard enough.

If you transition too early, it is difficult to hold a third. I think some toss does transition into a more air based army after a 200/200 fight | ||

The idea is to make an air heavy deathball against terran, the advantages of an air heavy deathball with void rays and phoenixes is that air units are protoss racial advantage, and they are stronger than air units of other races however more expensive. Huge amounts of air units from protoss would kill any amount of vikings. However if he's going to use marines, we're going to melt them with colossus while using forcefields to stay away from marauders. The composition idea would be as following: 200 supply: 60 supply worker, 36 supply colossus, 4 supply observer, 30 supply void ray, 50 supply phoenix, 20 supply sentry. Even if it's viable, you can say anything is viable, you can go 200/200 carriers and it's unstoppable but you never do that because you simply die. So here's how I think to pull it off: Nexus first is the best economical build perfect for us to secure a huge early gas income from 4 assims. We'll be needing 4 upgrades: Ground weapons, air weapons, thermal lances and anion crystal. So why not make an early forge in order to stop any aggression by building cannons. Now cannons can be killed by marauders and siege tanks. That's why we're going to build a stargate and make void rays which perfected counter those 2 units listed before. Then start our sentry production to help our cannons some more. We get a robo and start making 4 observers to have perfect vision around your base. Then use void rays and phoenix to stop any drop attempts. Now go colossus while adding 1-2 more stargates for extra air production. What do you think of this idea? Could it be viable? It's mostly theorycrafting that's why I posted it in general discussion thread. | ||

Does anybody know if there are teams who have insured one or more of their players against hand/wrist injuries? If yes, are any numbers public? Just curious... | ||

From what I think, they would set an objective for the map like "I want long/macro game in this map so it should be big, many minerals" or "short/micro then small" ... Should I make this map interesting, maybe add a watch tower or a Gold mineral on center of the map. Then the rest is same, 1 choke point to main mineral(prevent Zergling), 2nd expansion should be closer (help Zerg)... something like that. | ||

But if u wanna have big army, U can try it with Terran, I think it will be much faster (with the help of Mules of course) | ||
