Furthermore, the opponent can choose to send a unit to attack you at the precise moment of the launch, which is really silly in my opinion. For any balance concerns, since the nuke is way more easy to use and viable now, the cost or damage can be reduced or increase the built time or the time from launch until hit etc etc, but as long as it forces you to search for it, I believe it brings a much more interesting (psychological) aspect. | ||

I had an economic lead of 2 bases vs one and we were about even in terms of army. I had a scout in the beginning but some marines shot at my overlord so I flew it away as I didn't want to get held back in supply (should I have kept it?). Then I hear the words nuclear launch detection followed by my drones dying since my hydras and roaches were in the middle of the map. Should I leave an overseer and a hydra at every base? Is that enough? Where do I check when I first hear nuke? Also I am sorry I didn't leave a replay I forgot to save it and I can't figure out how to access replays in SC2 Having a base up on terran as Z does NOT put you in an economic lead. Watch the replay and look at the income. If terran is properly spamming mules, the income in minerals is equivalent to a fully saturated 2 base zerg. | ||

Besides the fact that it partially defeats the fear/paranoia factor that a nuke traditionally produces, it is fundamentally flawed. If you hear the nuke warning, instantly followed by some random unit poping or upgrade finishing then the mechanic is useless.

Actually you can just hit the spacebar twice then. But it is definitely stupid if you can just spacebar to the launch spot. | ||

They either fixed it or people never tried it and just assumed it works. Or the nuke was launched in their base and since notifications from the base are very frequent it just led them there and they thought it was because of nuke. Either way it is proven to be untrue and nukes are still awesome .Thx for properly testing. | ||

Either way it is proven to be untrue and nukes are still awesome .This is right, I did some testing as well. I think I found where the confusion started. Here is how it works (as far as I can tell from testing). When you get the initial nuclear launch warning, you cannot use "space" to move to where the nuke is targetting, nor can you by clicking no the warning icon that pops up. HOWEVER, when using space to "tab through" past announcements/warnings, you can use it to see where nukes have already hit. Basically, you cannot use the "space" button while the nuke is en-route, but once it detonates, it can be used to move to the devasted area. EDIT: This is in patch 7 btw. | ||
