    Not at all, apart from building construction methods, the workers are completely mirrored.

    Thats kinda gay, considering zerg lose miners to make structures...

    Edit: and oh, can the protossd miner still start structures then go do something else, or do they have to stay on the structure till its done.

    yes, that is the reason that makes them the best worker for the econ, while Zergs is the worst, Terrans is in the middle.

    Blizzard changed the gathering rate of the minerals from 8 to 5, because they found out that the better pathing let the workers gather at a much faster/better rate, so now the gathering speed is almost where it would have been with SC1.

    gas is the same as in SC1 i believe.
