The SC2 tips say 3 workers per mineral/gas patch is optimal, which would be 30 workers for your main at least, then there's always expos.

If I play terran I use my CC energy on comsat to see enemy build composition so I can get the correct counter units, or extra supplies to avoid getting supply capped. I'll call down MULES when I know I've got the game in the bag.

Best not to queue too many units, you don't want to tie up all your resources such that you're expo or tech up gets delayed.

Remember MULES are your way to keep up with the Protass and Zerg on resource collection. Protass can speed up probe production easily getting more out faster than you can get out SCVs and the zerg of course can get out multiple drones at a time. The MULES are there so you can keep up, since you won't be able to keep up in terms of harvester numbers until or course all sides mineral lines are saturated.

Indeed. Also, mules can work great even at saturation because they do not interefere with scv mining (scv and mule can share mins).

If you don't keep constant use of mule AND constant worker production, you will forgo the terran edge on the other races. And that usually ends up badly.

I learnt something today.

When an opposing player says he lets his dogs out and pauses the game, just unpause it. It is just a nuke feint.

No, you can't generalize. Normally people don't use such dirty tricks, so you can't lose faith on the entire humanity just because of what one or two people do.

We got hit 2 times in a row with that same trick! Not a third time ever.

The extent people try to do in order to pull something off is quite astonishing.. Even restoring to something cheap like that..

Damnit. This thing is telling me that my SC2 installation is corrupt and i have to reinstall it. Aw well, it is a good excuse for finally getting myself to repair my windows installation altogether.

I find it fascinating how much people do not even bother to do upgrades.

Because they have not seen 100 marines with 2/3 + Stim + Shield upgrades rolling through large 2P1Z bases without medivac support.

I am surprised that it even worked anyway.

They probably think it's a needless waste of resources when it could be the game changer in some situations. Apparently they don't know the power of upgrades.

Especially when they have a bank of 2000 resources and complaining that their teams suck.

Demongod86 · 2011-02-21, 16:38

BTW guys...look for Smashcraft on page 1 of customs soon =). It should be up there by the end of this week.

If the game drags on for more than 30 minutes I usually have that, but I don't complain that my team sucks.

Most of the time I just trade Proto my gas so I can build more marines.

That seems to happen after TotalBiscuit casts something.

TotalBiscuit is pretty popular on Starcraft 2 because of his "I suck at Starcraft 2" podcast. So if he advertised Smashcraft, then its popularity would go off the charts if it has positive reviews.

Eater of All · 2011-02-23, 01:05

Yeah I tried Smashcraft and it's pretty fun. It's also pretty easy to take up, once I learned to actually pay attention to what the skill description says.

Proto · 2011-02-25, 00:42

I'm on if anyone wants to play. Just shoot me a message.

And yes, I've been playing Smashcraft too. Got to love being the medic.

Kyuu · 2011-02-26, 05:02

Good games, y'all.
