Thanks for the translation! Sounds pretty good but I hate hearing that fast teching to lair is a bad idea (although I had a similar experience, I was hoping blizzard would change that).

- Main base play is really good! It's incomparable to SC1. In SC1, 7 Marines/1 Medic/1 Dropship play is good, but in SC2, 16 Marines/2 Medivac is even better. Without Banelings or Roaches, Zerg is dead to this strategy.


I don't understand this. He seems be saying, 2 medivacs full of marines is better than 1 dropship full of marines/medic. Seems kind of obvious... Also doesn't the medivac come much later than banelings/roaches?
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game

Thanks for info, tho is waaaaaaay too early to talk about balance. Main thing would be to know how exciting it is, is there enough to do with each race, is interface not too easy etc.

ffs game should encourage expanding

Keep in mind that 1 base plays were really popular in SC for many, many, many years (especially TvZ).

Thanks for the translation!

The deal is that until you have gotten the timings in the game down to a science it is always easier to play aggressive early than to expand early, you need to know exactly during which phases it is safe to expand and how to counter every possible rush before you can start to play in more macro heavy styles.

You know, the metagame in games evolve from in the early days just consisting of various cheese until people learns to counter it and then it goes deeper and deeper into macro styles.

6 zerglings have difficulty killing 2 zealots?! oh man this is bad... I would have thought they wouldn't tweak the original units and instead balance with the new units... and lining lings on top of ramps is useless? sounds like defending with zerg is going to be really hard now

Balancing an rts must be hard. It seems really tricky to walk that line between "lair tech is useless" and "zerg without lair tech is useless"

Starcraft 2:
"Feels more like SC1 than War3"

if a korean says this. i can rest assured. but im a little disappointed by the 'one base
play is good'. i can be at ease though since this is dependent on the map more than the game itself.

It seems like Zerg is very weak, but I'm not worried, things can get completely different after the beta.

I hope they tune down the marauder's hp. 120 hp is way too much for à tier 1 terran unit! ffs, it's as much as a goliath, a mechanic, late tier 2.5 unit in sc1. That quantity of hit points for a tier1 unit should stay with the protoss, it deludes race uniqueness. Way too much for a terran infrantry unit (give it 80 hp max, and adjust unit cost accordingly).
I hate the post below mine because it feels War3-ish.
