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.

Just hang in there and have fun. I play Zerg in diamond league, and while the minimum skill level is very high to beat a good Terran is very high, it's still a good learning experience as long as you try to figure out how to beat them.
Blackraven

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.

[url=#user_comment_42609]@Derek[/url]: believe me i tried it before with fungal growth, good terran players only use 2 siege tanks to kill the infestors before they can cast anything or only use the radar to see your borrowed units before attack.
Mad Skull

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

I think auto-casting Spawn Larva would be just silly. I mean, not that I don't think Zerg needs it, but wouldn't it make more sense to remove Spawn Larva altogether and just make the larva cap/rate higher while a Queen is nearby?

I dont agree with the auto-cast larva. Why not add auto-attack and auto-mine and auto-scout to every other unit aswell?

As the devs have said, the problem is that those Koreans have proven the Zerg are TOO good sometimes. So it's not as simple as buffing Zerg/nerfing Terran.

I'd love to see more renditions of Zerg units and how they use their abilities. ^^
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.
To have... fun? To be reactive? Or... the other thing you said? You have forgotten WHY we play Zerg! We play Zerg... because zerg... is really really GROSS. :D

There should be a button to cast larva on all hatcheries from the nearest queen. Just like Protoss have a special [W] hotkey to select all warp gates.

It's not that the game is imba, a perfect zerg versus a perfect terran is a pretty even match. It's just that being a perfect zerg is just harder than being a perfect terran.

What do you expect? Blizzard doesn't know the first thing about making games.
Diablo 2 was crap until after lod.

I think it's only because this is the Terran slice of the game you're playing. When the Zerg expansion's out, things'll gear up to the Swarm's expectations.

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?

Maybe the Zerg will be the OP race in the next "episode". In 1-2 years...

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.

Spawn Larva really does need to be autocast. There is no reason not to.
@Mad Skull: If Terran is going bio just fungal growth the blob and roll in with the banelings. There is a very good reason I never go bio versus zerg.
Mad Skull

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.
Mad Skull

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

T is a bit overpowered, but not invincible. Just open up EVERY TIME with speedlings and voila! Reapers and Helions can't do shit anymore, put down 1 spine crawler in your mineral line and you're protected even better!

[url=#user_comment_42595]@Zese[/url]: Huh? Mutas take a Spawning Pool, then a Lair, then a Spire. Reapers take a Barracks/Lab. I can't bring up SC2Armory for exact numbers, but that's extremely expensive and time-consuming in comparison.
(Though Terrans do usually just send one or two Reapers in right away.)

Reaper harassing is weak to early mutalisks, though. If they wait longer than 3-4 reapers, you have an equal number of mutalisks ready to nuke their reapers down.

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
Doopliss

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.
hopefully the zerg campaign will bring in new units to balance it out.

Spawn Larva Autocast
over 14 years ago
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.
Or in other words...you will never play Zerg, because Spawn Larva will NEVER be autocast. It would defeat the purpose.

Love the art on this one.
The Terran are meant to have so many fall backs as that's the human way. Victory through myriad options.
Zerg, on the other hand are basically bugs. Victory through numbers.
Any Zerg having issues with Terran are probably just failing at Macro.
