Yes, I see your point. Playing games is about having perfect conditioning. Every thirty seconds, you wiggle your tail... I mean, activate Spawn Larvae and you get a treat... I mean, you don't lose the game.

You will be waiting a while for spawn larvae to be autocast - the whole point is that every race (Terran/MULE, Protoss/Chrono-boost) has something which gives them an edge over someone who forgets to use it

You honestly cannot argue that Terran aren't at the moment, the best race. The really high up players say it, the really low players say it. As it stands, Terran has far more ways of doing things, and can much easier adapt to a situation, which, in a RTS, is what it's all about.

alright i agree with Jer, uszy, Scuffles. Honestly auto cast would be cool for spawn larva but its not really that critical. If you time it youll be fine, its just a matter of learning the timing. Hydra having 2 pop is wrong, i miss lurkers, defilers and scourges. Marines extra health is bull.

nah.. auto cast spawn larva isnt necesary, maybe if the hatchery has that skill as the terran and protoss have it already in their bases , cuz while you build the spawning pool for the queen they have energy for mules or chrono, and your queen spawn with only 25 energy, while they have +120 energy

The problem with SC2 and the reason I won't buy it until its all three games/expansions(whatever)in one battle chest. Is that it doesn't seem like it will be complete until that happens.
Things on the drawing board that got pulled to make the exgamesions necessary to remain competitive etc.

Are you REALLY complaining about the state of Zerg macro? Really? It's in vogue to complain about percieved Terran imba, but you obviously never played SC1. SC2 Zerg macro is far easier, mechanically. All you have to do is spawn larvae. And this is coming from a Zerg.
Should MULEs be autocast too?

I admit zerg is built largely for early game rushes (6 pool) or endgame with massive expansions allowing for fast rebuilds of armies (sup multihatch/8 larvae). Terran hold a strong balance throughout all times in the game.
Once the next SC comes out, I anticipate stronger zerg though.

lol, merc, get ultralisks? in the time to try get that ones, the terrans come at your base with 60+ marines, +20 marauders 5-6 medivacs and 4 or 5 siege tanks with only tier 2 tecnology, while ultras/brrod lord are tier 3, very expensive and take massive time to get it.

i aggre with you, while Z vs Z and Z vs P, feels balanced, Z vs T feels very unbalanced lately, you cant do an surprise attack cuz they have the radar and the sensor tower make any rush or surprise attack useless, mutalisk vs terran = fail, roaches? fail too, hydras? that dont work vs massive marine

I know that playing Zerg can feel uphill (and that's from a Random player), but it's not all bad. Zerg's advantages are really fun once you get used to exploiting them, and the Matchmaking helps if you always play Zerg.
On a similar note, though, I see a lot weaker Terrans in Plat/Diamond... :P

Spawn Larva Autocast: However, Chrono Boost and Orbital Command stuff can be hoarded and stacked with minimal penalty, while if you miss time Spawning you miss time Spawning, and it hurts much more than the super-harvester or slightly faster teching/training. But that's a tired argument.

You can cast spawn larva by clicking the minimap, or so I hear. Group your queens, push the button to cast Spawn Larva, hold shift, click each hatchery on the minimap. The closest queen with sufficient energy to each one will spawn larva at each one.

so far what every non TF2 game tells me about scouts are that they are observing ninjas, ninjas that have fangs and will kill and/or turn you into one of them that and pretty good at hiding.

well, think about this: they're releasing the game in 3 parts, the first part (the one everyone is playing) is the Terren part, meaning they had to focus on Terren for the singleplayer, if not for the multiplayer.

Spawn Larva, like Chrono Boost and the various Orbital Command abilities, was made with the express purpose of keeping you busy and bringing you back to the base.
