a zergs desire~

ok i was thinking that tech was more like researching and going for citadel

 

Well that's tech too. I think you're thinking in terms of when people say "tech up" as a strat, as opposed to staying at tier 1 and making additional gateway and pull more units.

 

oh ok
gotcha

or like turtle and tech when people just dig in and go for higher tier units, eh?

 

There a lot more directions a player can go than "make units" and "tech up," as Remy said, there's also "tech sideways" into upgrades and abilities, and "economy" which involves making workers and expanding. You might even include "build infrastructure" which would involve making, say, more gateways, but not necessarily very many combat units, in order to be able to pump out large numbers of units in the future.

It can get a bit confusing when people refer to about three of these as "teching" ...

 

one of the things that starcraft helped me do was retain information in my microeconomics class

we were discussing how if a country is trying to maximize production in the short run, it will have less capital goods (factories, means of production) in the short run and more products or output

however, if it is going for long term growth, they will have less products and more capital goods in the short run, meaning that it gives up resources in the short run that it could have used to produce goods, so that it can make more factories and such so it can produce a lot more in the future

similarly, in starcraft, you can choose to build 2 gateways and 6 zealots in each, for instance, early

or you can build 12 gateways and build 1 zealot in each later on in the game


EDIT: to make it relevant to this section of the forum, zerg definitely favor more capital goods (ie hatcheries) and less consumer goods (zerglings/hydras/whatever) in the short run so that they can produce a lot more, much faster later on


Bonus 200 minerals for a nice post with very interesting points.

 

lolz!
because of your post im gonna create a new thread

 

Hey Sup dudes I know this is totally random but here look if this is put into campaign it'd be cool

(How the story for this can go) --> A new zerg brood comes in and infests a whole base becuz they had no drones it'd be awesome

A Zerg's desire~ ...some damn info, how about that?

I feel left out in my little corner, watching from a distance, Protoss and Terran players throwing little parties discussing future strats while sipping champaign. Die Blizzard, just die... or leak some sweet sweet Zerg info and all will be forgiven. We can be in love again oh my little Blizzy.

 

dude Remy at the Zerg party, we will all party like it's nineteen ninety nine

dun da-da dun da da

I'm thinking we will have maybe a peak in Blizzcon... a sneak peak... like a 25 cent peep show haha ^_^

 

you mean like my sister?
...did i say that out loud?

im so pumped for blizzcon! they probably are gonna officially reveal 6-7 new terran units, or will have a 22minute gameplay vid with them. and during those 22 minutes, show us some zerg!

 

Just be patient a little bit longer remy, Blizzard always saves the bestest for last. And the Zerg party will have free copy's of SC2 for the broods.

 

I've been patient for quite a bit longer, now where the hell is Zerg!? I want Zerg info dang it!!

 

i've been haunted for 3 months by these 4 words - zerg section: comming soon

 

I understand your pain Reak, I understand your pain. :upset:

 

Those are horrid words they are

 

i no this would be kinda weird but
what if you could combine 2+ units to create another bigger better unit?
like two hydras -> crazy ass hydra/lurker thing

also zerglings also being able to morph to scourges AND banelings would be nice...

 

thats like templar shit. it would be ok for protoss but not so much for zerg seeing as how they evolve and not fuse.
