The problem is that with the current economy of Sc2, the army value/active bases ratio is too high which makes it impossible to make defensive oriented units such as tanks/swarm hosts too good as turtling is too easy with them. Whether you have 50-70 workers is in it self irrelevant. What matters is how thinly your spread out and a weaker economy will force players to spread them selves out over more bases. The thing I'm concerned about is the lack of a natural counter to turtling kind of play at a high, strategic/economic level when factions have been abstracted away. It's at that level where the core issue with the deathball style is, and it's there where it should be fixed. Faction/unit level counters will ultimately prove either futile or unnatural and awkward. | ||

Heh listen to any thorin interview or his infamous slasher rant on that show they were on together. He's as pretentious and arrogant about the quality of his own work as they come. | ||

Oov was largely credited for the gameplay shift from micro-based builds to a largely macro-oriented play with his greedy builds, and mass production facilities that is so common today. Before then it was common for a lot of 1 base play to occur. He also innovated a whole lot of Terran builds as well as gameplay. With his guidance, Fantasy became a top-tier Terran in BW. | ||
