My point was really that Terran need the wallin because they are the weakest race early on. If they were not able to do that then they would never get to the mid game. That said once they are in the mid game (thanks to their wall in). They can be very hard to beat.
As zerg Map control is...
Actually Again I'd say its Terran that's really weak early game (hence why they need to wall off)
Once Zerg has its pool down, its actually in a reasonable position, as you can build crawlers lings and queens to keep you safe short term. (although doing so affects your economy)
I can imagine...
Yes mules are over powered.
A Terran player can lose all his scvs, have no money and then call down a few mules to keep him ticking over whilst he rebuilds his SCV count/army.
It kind of makes a mockery of any mineral line harass against Terran TBH. Mules should cost money as well as energy...
IMO this all depends on Map control. If you have enough control to take a 3rd Base (i.e. another mineral line) Then do it and focus on Gas collection primarily followed by getting enough drones to balance out your mineral requirements.
If you do not feel you have the map control to take...
2 healthy thors will kill 4 healthy mutas magic box or not (and I'm fairly sure they can do it without focus fire. With focus fire the thors should win no problem)
The thors must have been in a bad shape.
By better you mean "the current standard" ;) I certainly never feel short of money.
I think with Zerg the most important skills to have is learning when to power drones, when to expand and when to build an army and when to attack
Well I'm playing gold level terrans ;)
I fully agree I am playing a non-conventional build at the moment. I was previously 14 hatch/14pool or 14 pool/15 hatching up until about a week ago.
Its just something I am experimenting with, not something I am recommending. (I have not fleshed this...
Without any science being involved I actually find this build to be better suited to my game than the various "standard builds"
I have found I am able to hold my own against Gold and Platinum level players of all races using this build (I've been top 5 of my gold devision for about a week, but...
Thanks... Now how do I squeese that into an 11pool? ... "WTF Krono (manlove) 11 pool are you a noob?" I hear you ask.
"Umm probably" is the answer. However I've been experimenting with 11 pool recently as I noticed if I :
10 extractor trick
11 Overlord
I have exactly 200 minerals when the...
I've decided, I love Cheese... Or rather I love it when I spot the enemy is cheesing me.
Other than the 6pool, which admittedly I am sometimes caught out by. I think I have just about got the right balance between paranoia and scouting that I can usually spot cheese. And if I spot it, I think...
Sorry I'm going to have to say it... If your struggling with Terran then your not going to find life any easier as the other two races.
Watch some VODs to see what the Terran players are in each of the three matchups and try to emulate those build orders.
Good games last night YouRebelScum... Well the second game was good if I don't say so myself :) first game was a bit of bad luck. I watched the replay of the second game I dont think the toss player made a single army unit the whole game.
For those who did not play that game (i.e. the rest of...
Generally (except for tournaments). The only IdrA games that get onto the net are the ones where he rages, win or lose.
Occasionally he is outplayed. Tester has done some clever tricks against IdrA which IdrA himself has openly stated he hasn't got a response for. I've seen a few Protoss...
Clearly I have seen the game hence I know what I am talking about, seems to me you have copied this out of another forum and if you are only going to show a few lines of the transcript an not the whole transcript then you are not accurately reflecting the game. Further more you miss represented...
Idra was never on the ropes. The point of that match and the smacktalk was that IdrA was clearly in the driving seat for most of the game, yet regardless of what he tried, the Zerg army could not break the Terran Defensive line.
How many Bases did IdrA have over Droobie?
With other races...
Remember your position in the league means nothing (this is because no two leagues are equal) You are just being compared to the people in the same bucket your in, but not to the people in all the other buckets. The points earned from winning matter.
If you are playing gold and Platinum...
