The Best Race-Strategically

[AKA-47]

Not really. If u have 10 BCs, 24 marines, 10 medics, 6 tanks and 10 vessels the zerg player will have a hard time stopping the BCs.

Dont you hate being wrong?

 

[AKA-47]

Not really.

I think this is a good place to post this...
Aka, i didn't check, but I bet u missed one thing talking about 4 hydras vs 1 BC. when BC kill hydra, damage of hydras reduces, doh.
cooldowns 15 and 30, so ok, BC one shot, hydra two shots:

without upgrades (to kill BC = 500/7 ~ 72 and to kill Hydra = 80/25 ~4)
4H > 1 hit vs BC > 8 hits +8
4H > 2 hits vs BC > 16 hits +8
4H > 3 hits vs BC > 24 hits +8
3H > dead H vs BC > 32 (or 31 if BC shot first) +8 or +7
3H > 1 hit vs BC > 38 hits +6
3H > 2 hits vs BC > 44 hits +6
3H > 3 hits vs BC > 50 hits +6
2H > dead H vs BC > 56 hits +6 or +5
2H > 1 hit vs BC > 60 hits +4
2H > 2 hits vs BC > 64 hits +4
2H > 3 hits vs BC > 68 hits +4
1H > dead H vs BC > 72 hits +4 or +3

...lets say BC started shooting few second earlyer and saved himself 3 more hits from hydra:
1H > 1 hit vs BC > 71 hits +1
1H > same vs BV > DEAD BC !!! =]]

so in conclusion 4 hydras kills bc with one hydra left with full/almost full HP. Results will change depending on upgrades mostly, if BC and hydra fully upgraded, hydras will do same damage, but BC will do 25+9-3 (dmg+upg-armor) = 31, so in that case hydras will die in three hits, even 25+6-3 will kill hydra in three hits (28x3 = 84). now price:
BC 400/300 ...right?
Hydra 4x 75/25 = 300/100 )

...i dont understand how BCs can own hydras?? even without swarm and/or plague? ...and yamato wouldnt help much anyway.

And by saying this counter that, I mean spending about the same amount of money...

BTW, terran will have BC only in mid or late game, and if zerg is still alive, he should have many hatcheries and it should be very easy to mass hydras fast...

...AKA, just dont say anything about combining units ok? this is BC vs Hydra

oh and that thing I wanned to post here is that the more units u have, the more damage u make, waidaminute, no no, sounds stupid, what i mean is...
...two zerglings will do 3 times as much damage as one zergling.

this is the system you can check:

1 ling = x1 dmg ............ +1
2 ling = x3 dmg ............ +2
3 ling = x6 dmg ............ +3
4 ling = x10 dmg ............ +4
5 ling = x15 dmg ............ +5
6 ling = x21 dmg ............ +6
7 ling = x28 dmg ............ +7
8 ling = x36 dmg ............ +8
9 ling = x45 dmg ............ +9
10 ling = x55 dmg ............ +10
11 ling = x66 dmg ............ +11
12 ling = x78 dmg ............ +12
13 ling = x91 dmg ............ +13
14 ling = x105 dmg ............ +14
15 ling = x120 dmg ............ +15

...this is based on attacking with all zerglings at once, in reality if you dont micro, they go in row so results changes a bit...

So this means that 15 zerglings can take 120 times more damage, compared that it's only 15 times more expensive...

So if you would send 15 lings at once, they would make ~120 damage and if you'd send them one by one, they would make ~15 damage...

ok, i think u all got the point, im confused myself

 

[AKA-47]

It wont do 120 times more damage, because they cant all attack at the same time. Besides, u WILL lose some of the zerglings.

 

[james_in_time]

I hope you werent expecting me to read all that lol. lings are practically useless in mid to late game. Just to iratate the oppenetnt. waster money and take up space in your psy limit?

 

[CerebralChain]

Is it just me, or did the tips get very detailed?

 

[james_in_time]

LMFAO. what i was thinking.

 

[Nibakanus]

Tis basic Algebra, take hp and mult by number of lings.

 

[Zmoney]

every hting i think can be countered easily u only need to use some logic in ur thinking if everything can be countered then all the races equal out

 

[Slick]

lings only waste money and psi?? ...i don't think so =]
even if you dont use them later, it is very useful to buy let's say 12 lings and burrow them in exps and other important places all around the map

 

[Zmoney]

lings dont even use psi dude wtf r u talking about u make no sense

holidayzzzzzzzzz !!!!!!!!!!!!! wwwoooohoooooooooo

There is no "Best" race. There is no "Superior" race. It all depends on how you use the races and your strategies. 'Nuff said.

 

[B_A_A_L]

I agree with Andariel, there is'nt really a best race, it's how well you use what you have to counter what your opponent has.
