    But as the Bunker falls, the Bunker is no longer the winner if the Marines win afterwards - the Marines are. So, I agree the Marines should afterwards stop counting...

    Besides, bunkers are virtually useless without marines or firebats or ghosts.

    mmm... I think cannons may win because they have shields. If you locate them well... I think thay will win,,, I mean, locate them in opposite sides of the enemy building. The sunken colony maybe attack only one of them or ramdomly... Now, with bunkers... mmm... I think that marines will attack the closest cannon, so the attack gets shorted,,, only half of it for each cannon.

    Between sunken and bunker,,, I think bunker will win but,, marines will concentrate their attack.

    Under different conditions maybe marines will win, if you stim-pack them before entering the bunker but I think this is out of this topic so sorry,, just want to say that because stim pack are awesome hehe

    hmm i agree with alucardx

    bunker might win if the marines have the upgrades with is

    9 atk + stim + longer range

    9 x 4 = 36

    stim = faster atk

    longer range = bunker farther away

    Bunker wins easily if you put ghosts in there, they have an incredibly long range when inside bunkers. It's about 9 or so because it out ranges the guardian which is 8.

    photon cannons... because you said 2 cannons versus one of them so 2 would beat 1 on normal defence

    it heals so slow over time it wouldnt matter that much... maybe only 1 extra hit against it or 0

    the ammount it will heal in battle wouldnt even equal 1 more attack from the enemy, so it doesnt make a difference.

    It's always possible that it's just these few hitpoints it needed to win... but yeah... ::)

    sorry, didn't read the whole thread, but these numbers are wrong.

    sunken is 50(drone) + the 125, making it 175.

    4 marines are only 200 minerals, so it comes out to 300.

    So to make it equal cost wise you would need 2 bunkers with 2 marines each, and 2 sunks

    1 pylon (100) + 1 cannon (150) = 250
    vs.
    1 Bunker (100) + 3 Marines(150) = 250


    1 Sunken + 1 zergling = 200
    vs.
    1 bunker + 2 Marines = 200


    1 pylon + 1 cannon + 1 zealot = 350
    vs.
    Sunken + sunken = 350

    Fairest way that I can think will work to test them.

    The problem with counting the pylon is that the cost of it is way to much for 1 photon cannon because generally 1 pylon is suppoting 3-5 cannons. I would say if your gonna count it count it per 4 photon cannons or 25 per cannon

    No you cant say that because even if you have 1 photon cannon you need that 1 pylon which is 100 mins. You cant buy part of the pylon for 25 just because you are using only 1 cannon

    i think the photon cannons would win, but i guess it does depend on the units in the bunker. also, the photon cannons are the most expensive.

    woulden't the bunker acually win? If the marines went out of it and attacked, the bunker would always win wouldent it? But since you made it so that the marines can't attack after... I guess not.
