And all units have ammo counters, and fuel gauges, and get tired, and every player has to fill out a hundred pages of paperwork on casualty reports and supply requisitions and logistics.

Realism is a terrible argument for anything in any game.

I think a better solution is to give back the invisible burrow when you get the mine uppgrade.

Your solution would mines too good in early TvP if you have high APM.

My solution would make early TvP mine drops less strong (which is good) but make mines much more useful in the midgame and the lategame where they underperform.

The last thing Terran needs is even more micro. The micro requirments for the race is already too high, the race should be playable even for those that are not Maru.

i think this is a great idea.

true.
that said, i knew it was the most micro intense when i chose to play terran and i just accepted the fact that i'd lose to players who might be considered slightly worse than me who play as zerg or protoss.

i think players with less than 150 APM just have to accept the fact that the game won't be perfectly balanced for them. My APM is around 125 when i play on a regular basis.

I've watched other Code S Korean Terrans play on Twitch and the difference in their APM and my APM means that really..we're playing 2 different games.

increased realism has been a popular feature of video games for 40+ years.
