[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="132" id="2576689"]You can call multiple mules at once, and it's generally better to wait until just before you need the influx of cash. Protoss and Zerg get more workers that last for the whole game, so the longer the game gets, the weaker the Terran econ is in comparison. Your extra 270 minerals per second starts to suck once you're behind 20 workers while constantly pumping them.[/quote] Now you're talking nonsense. Your opponent would have to be a ba

[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="130" id="2576655"]You can't just spam mules all day. If you look at graphs of income over 10 minutes of a game, Terran has a slight lead if he goes early orbital command, but then he gets run over by Zerg and Protoss because they far outnumber Terran in workers as the game goes on. This is not to mention that mules cost TWICE as much energy as Larvae Injection for Zerg and Chrono Boost for Protoss.[/quote] You can spam mules all day. A mule lasts 90secs

I disagree. There are some balance issues. I personally think ZvZ is boring as hell. But hard counters are no more prevelent in SC2 than the original. It's micro that makes soft counters viable, and that takes time to develop. The only thing I have a real problem with is autoattack priorities.

[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="125" id="2576573"] Mules are terrible. Feedback is almost as useless as snipe is on ghosts. [/quote] Not at all. Mules provide ~270 minerals over thier lifespan while workers produce ~90. They're worth 3 SCVs already. And, when using Mules it doesn't matter if the minerals are saturated or not. So, even though Protoss and Zerg can produce workers quicker if they want(they also need to use boost/larva to produce units), once their mineral li

That's why it is called a cheese rush - if it doesn't succeed, you're supposed to be screwed long-term. But because Terrans have Mules, they can send all thier SCVs so you have to pull all your workers in respone, but they happily keep mining along, able to constantly produce marines. Zerg and Protoss starting units are both melee, so they bring the SCVs as a meatshield because of of worker autoattack and they're extra health. And if you do wall in, they just expand and start to beat y

Reply to StarCraft II beta is out!! in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Ah, splitshadow, SCVs still have 45 health while other workers have 40. They're still the strongest worker, just not by 50% anymore. Also, the nerf to SCVs and marines/reactors was because of early rushes that were unstoppable. Terrans would just build like 8 marines, attack with most/all of their SCVs, and there's nothing the other player could do to stop it except for a heavy wall or cheese back.

I had the same problem as you at first spacman. The fleet logistics trees are found by clicking the same research button you use to research frigates, but you click a a different tab on the left of the screen. Depending on if you're using vanilla, entrenchment, or diplomacy there are 3, 4, or 5 different tabs with different technologies in them. I think the fleet logistics is the very bottom one.

Reply to Exercise in Futility in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Yea, normal AI doesn't cheat at all. I'd say if you're having so much trouble with RTS than you should probably stay away from the genre. I've played 3/4 of the games you mentioned, and found none of them very challanging except on the hardest of difficulties. Even then the AI ussually made that beatable as well.

irek- As Savyg said, we do know that Impulse Reactor will not require the Impulse Client. That's one of it's advertised features is to offer the services of Steamworks without the requied client. Also, Impulse is not required to start games. You can download/update a game and then remove Impulse and everything works fine.

Reply to Munchkins on the net? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

All I did was open my Impulse program and I have 4 demos available for download without any searching and no external links. I actually don't know how you would go about searching for a Demo in Impulse. One thing I can agree with is that the UI in Impulse can use a lot of work. And, as I said before, competition has already changed things. Steam now does Weekend deals, which it didn't do before Impulse started.
