I have been pondering on this for about 10 minutes right now. im wondering how the zerg and terran can make buildings and units out of minerals and gas...

i understand how the protoss can use the minerals to warp things in from auir.

but like do they feed the little larvas with gas and minerals?

and how do make soldiers and machines from the gas and minerals?!!

please enlighten me on this subject smile.gif

The terran's need gas to power some of their buildings and for their men.

The zerg need it to mutate their men.

I've everyonce in awhile thought about this but always ended up as the answer is that this is a completely made up thing and they can do whatever they want.

I'm sorry to tell you the truth...I know you've been thinking Starcraft is realistic. But infact Starcraft is a game! How do the medics just heal you?

hehehe and PSI and supply

as far to my knowledge terran dont need to eat or have shelter at least while on the battlefield.

and why would there be a limit to how much guys you can warp in...

controll for the zerg is realistic tho.

It's strange how all the men for terran of each type use up the exact same amount of food as each other. How does each marine take up exactly one food serving? What about the husky marines? Don't they deserve a second helping?

And how do overlords supply "food"? Do they eject it from themselves in some magical manner?

I understand medics being magical. They can heal everything!

Protoss have no mouths.
Terrans never have to take a dump.
Zergs have ESP.

Only terrans require food. Overlords provide control.

Medics heal people with sponge baths obviously.
And marines are wearing body suits made for space, they obviously would contain a container for waste.

I've always wanted to know how exactly upgrades work? huh.gif

Or how any protoss unit is made? They are warped from Aiur, even when the level you are on is Aiur...

How does the seige tank attack?

I always thought that for the terran and protoss, the minerals and gas were used and put into their secret economy. The zerg use it for making chemicals to make different units. Just my thoughts.

I always thought the zerg units had to inhale vespene gas to become a unit, kind of irrational, but it's my interpretation so shove it tongue.gif

confused.gif Ever notice how all three races can fluently speak english? It's wierd! They can fully understand it too! For protoss, I understand, but zerg know english?

only the infesteds cerebrates and the overmind.
zerg can adapt very quickly so its not surprising that they learned english.

the protoss communicate through the mind. so they speak to everything.

and terrans main language is english is guess.... you notice how alexi and the BCs have that russian accent... and the valks have thier sexy french... but how the hell did the southern accent come into play?

on maps where there is kerrigan/cerebrates/overlords you should be able to create infinite zerg.

also UED people have southern accents(and gay tv shows)

Minerals and gas are what the Zerg eat, they're tough. Read the manual.

Minerals = melted down like metal. Gas = fuel.

There are no husky marines, it's the future. Richard Simmons had long ago put an end to all fat people. Read the manual.

They don't, they have psionic control over things. Manual.

Medics only heal biological units, not even the guy inside of tanks and whatnot. The use something liek a hyper-stim. They don't really heal them, just pump em so full of morphine the keep fighting even when mortally wounded.

Zerg can't speak. Cerebrates and the Overmind are Psychicly communicating.

Same applies to all Protoss units. Terrans are actually speaknig Australian, but it's dupped into english for our sake.

It such bullshiz they were really farfetched with allowing tanks to be brooded when reavers can't be sad.gif

reavers are computers. i think back in the first version of starcraft(that i have) you can brood any ground unit.

Ok, Zerg need minerals and gas to facilitate the evolutions.

Supply Depot's represent ammo, excess crew, etc.

Terrans have to buy things with minerals, ammo, metal, etc.

Overlords don't provide food, they provide control. Meaning that each overlord allows you to keep that many zerg in line.

So how come if someone came and destroyed all of our overlords, our units don't go KrAzY?! HUH. Answer that one.,
