question for toss players.
if a pylon gets killed before the units finish warping in, do you lose the minerals/gas, or does it get refunded?
I thought you lost resources but that may have been one of those things they changed in one of the MANY updates.
No. I tested this like a year ago and my friend recently re-verified it in a 4v4. If the pylon is killed, you get 100% of resources back. Also, the warpgate cooldown is reset, so you're ready to warp-in again somewhere else immediately (assuming the lost pylon doesn't supply block you).
How about if you destroy the powering pylon for a stargate while you have some unit on the way. Do you get resources back?
What if the production building itself gets destroyed?
Starting play zerg. Not looking good. Think I'm 1-8 so far. Had a game yesterday vs terran in which I had out expanded him but couldn't spend my resources fast enough. I've started placing a second hatchery in my main.
Are roaches better than hydras to go up against Marines and Marauders? Also vs terran think I need some dedicated AA to knock out medivacs. Baleings the best option to get through bunkers?
as a terran player, roaches are much better than hydras against MM. You can also get them earlier in the tech tree.
Only real time you should go with hydras over roaches is if you needed the AA support, but early game against MM, I would go roaches.
Against a bunker, I'm not sure what would be more cost effective, but I assume it would be situational. For instance, if there are seige tanks behind that bunker, you would need a ton of banelings to get through as plenty would be wiped out by the tanks. If they are low on AA, you could bring a few mutas to snipe them though.
There are really too many options to give definite answers for counters.

they watered it down for season 2. trust me.
i had teams that were platinum last season. we're masters this season, LMAO.
dude with zergs, against T's always banglings! Then hit roaches up, then go air!
Perhaps more people are playing, people newer to the RTS genre? They are still selling units. I know I'm a much better player than I was a few months ago, you guys are probably improving. With a clean slate it was much easier to jump in points. In the "old" season it was hard to make up for the grinding that others were doing for points.
im 99.9999% zerg player. But last night tried terran for the first time in a 2v2. All I did was 3 barrack marine marauder push. Can't believe how stupid simple and easy it was. I am sure I messed up all the timing and builds and still it was just plowing through everything. Now I believe it..
There is no counter for marines .
but I still like my zergies. nothing like a god damn bling bust![]()
what's gosu micro? I've been trying to search for it, but all I got was matches, and where to find gosu coaches...
