In this thread you may ask simple questions and expect other members to answer them very fast.

Use this thread instead of making a new one for such simple questions as

    What unit counters this unit?
    How much damage does this unit deal to armor?
    Has anyone got a link to some video?
    Are Raynor and Zeratul friends?
    Other simple questions


This thread purpose is to cut down on the amount of threads that pop every other minute with such basic questions, please refer new members to this thread in order to avoid said problem.

@ Bob: hopefully. i would expect that they would release it in the last week of this month. Or if they are delayed they would release it about half way through October.

lets hope im right.

@DPS: good idea! there are a bit too many what unit counters this one...

Almost like every unit except the Drone and perhaps Probe?

Anyways: Simple Question, This should become a stikcy so new people see it immeadiatly and not that it's halfway down on page 3 orso... That way this topic wouldn't have real purpose except vanishing after a while like all the other threads do...

I tried to something like this for units when I made the Tactical guides(Terran, Protoss, and now Zerg), but people still go and ask the question out in the forum. How many times has Knee point to his sig. What I am saying is I agree with the idea, but I doubt it would work. Well good luck anyway.

From whats been said just ground since if it shot at air to then there would be little incentive to make void rays,MS,carriers and BCs.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

Can someone summarize the mechanics of Mineral mining? IE:

For a given mineral field with X mineral objects, what is the maximum number of workers that can mine it without diminishing returns, what's the maximum that mine it period, and what is the net Minerals per second yield for both? Also, what is the minerals per second yield for a single worker under optimal conditions?

While were at it, what number of workers do you need to max out a Vespene Gas site, and what is their gas per second yield?

2 miners per mineral I believe. 4 per mineral for golden.

For gas, it probably is 3 workers.

Whoa, what! On top of recieving 12 units of minerals, you can have 4 peons on 1 mineral? Or does it take long to mine the golden ones?

I thought that Golden Minerals simply gave a higher mineral return per trip, but otherwise take the same amount of workers to mine, and time per trip.

Also, I'd still like clarification on minerals per second per worker, as well as the amount of mineral fields that appear at one's starting base typically.

Even the drone and the probe, since both can regenerate health and the SCV cannot. Technically, the SCV is the weakest unit in the whole game, besides the broodling (it can regenerate hp too, but its life is timed)
