(+) Yeah! (+)

N00b question, how do you get more than one worker to build a structure?

I haven't played this game in like 8 years >_>

I don't think you can, if you're talking about Terran.

Really? So I have to wait for 1 slow-ass dude to make a barrack? Damn.
---

That's why you just build 5 barracks
---

in the time it takes you to build 1 barrack, a lithe young korean boy has already built two factories

best way to win starcraft is to not play

I thought terrain scvs can help each other build at the cost of extra resources

been a while
---

Are there new custom maps that are worth playing?

I had a roommate born in Korea teach me Starcraft back then, but I forgot it all >_>

They can repair, not build. I think the multi build was a Sc2 campaign feature

We had one Korean in our group of friends back in grade 5 and he was better than all of us at Starcraft even though he only started, like, two months prior compared to our two years.

is it in their genes

Multiple scvs can each build a building

how do I get a bunch to join in? I right click them on the construction but they just stay there and watch the 1 guy do it >_>

helpful hint: turn the game speed all the way up

l-lewd

You must be thinking of Warcraft 3 because you can only make human peasants slave away at the single building in that game.

*rushes with zerg*

*sees one barracks and 8 SCVs standing around it*

.... gg

So the only differences between building is that SCVs are independent and can be killed/moved off the building which pauses the progress, probes can teleport a building in and walk off, and drones have to turn into it?

You'll find that each race has their own idiosyncrasies that have to be maneuvered and adapted to

Man I played the shit out of SC2 for like two years lol. Got to Diamond league and haven't played in about a year. Sooo fucking hard haha.

Terran Buildings can be healed at the cost of minerals (and gas if they cost gas), Protoss get shields which regenerate quickly, but only a portion of their health, zerg heals slower but can fully heal. Terrans can burn down if they're in the red, zerg dies if it's off creep (except extractor), protoss need to be in pylons to function.

Oh, I played it a while ago and know mostly how it works. I just also really thought SVCs could make things build faster <_<

I suppose it's a combination of WC3 humans working that way and the fact that SVCs can repair faster by working together.

Interesting thing to note is you have to build on creep as a Zerg... but you can build on any players creep not just yours. ;)

I played StarCraft online only one time. Spent 2 hours building all these battlecruiser ship things. Then after I got a huge fleet of them, I shipped them off to find the enemy base and destroy, only to find out he had built a wall of these anti-air turrets (about 5 rows thick) around his entire base. I didn't have a good time.

yamato cannon can one shot those. The guy was an idiot for even letting you build more than one of them.
