Queen = Hatch with aa and ability to move across the map and kill enemy for half the price.
Convince me otherwise.

Terrans get free slots in each production building - 5 in total and they never get less!
Though I agree that mules arenât free. Zerg needs to manage drones vs. army and terran needs to manage map presence or âthe ability to pushâ vs. economy / expanding.

The free unit argument really is a farce when you think about it. I suppose you can argue that mules are indeed free units. They only cost energy, gather minerals much much faster, and can repair anything.
You might argue that if you upgrade your main to an orbital, that first mule costs 150 minerals. But then 50e later, you make another one, making each mule cost 75 minerals. You can continue to divide that each time you make a new mule, but what goes into the cost of an upgrade or any unit? HP, attack damage, movement speed, abilities?
Terran bio gets healed for free. Itâs not really free, since medivacs cost resources, but each medivac offers constant returns. Itâs not like you build one, it uses at max 200 energy to heal stuff, then no longer heals. Energy keeps coming back, and they keep healing, which pays for itself over time by not having to train as many units, the current ones lasting a bit longer
Ravens offer free turrets also, which cost energy to produce and fire away for a duration. drop some in a mineral line, kill things, and lock it down for a period of time. Anti armor missile is a free thing you can keep making more of with energy.
Itâs the same concept, but thatâs not discussed by Terrans it seems, or if it is, it isnât often or even the second comment in a thread. free or not, the game is balance around certain things to where hopefully nothing is too terribly imbalanced.

The problem is free PRODUCTION of units. The starting workers werenât produced, and therefore cannot have been produced for free.
most of these guys arguments are just that
*except for when itâs zerg, and serral is winning tournaments, THEN free units become an existential crisis. Gotta love double standards!
When they are winning with free units it is a problem. Highlights how good they are. Secondly, you got a problem with people complaining Serral wins tournaments, but what about when Maru won four GSLâs? Obviously since it isnât a Zerg there must be a problem.

Besides, terran economy growths more linearly than zergs, which growths exponentially and you also forget, that your scvs donât mine !!! Also you need scan.
So no mules arenât free !!!
Even in lategame, if you get mule farm, you can suicide workers and get more supply, but you still need to scan a lot, to track enemy movement. Especially if you play mech !
Also zerg can save money and create 235/200 army supply by building with drones and than canceling.
Protoss units are more efficient so he is capped on 200/200.

So, you? I thought you liked ZvZ, why would you want them to stop your crusade to delete the other 2 races?

Making terran so it doesnât rely on free units != deleting terran. Deleting terran != deleting protoss.
So when you cast them, you have to pay minerals?
By your definition of free, all workers are free, and thus all units in the game are free. Thus, the only way to remove âfree unitâ reliance by your definition is to turn SC2 into a MOBA.
Nope. You clearly donât understand THE definition of âfreeâ.
When you cast inject, do you have to pay minerals for larvae? No, you get free production without building new hatcheries.

A barracks produces free production in the same capacity that the queen does.
All units in the barrack costs minerals and go against my total mineral count when selected to be produced. Nothing is free, your argument falls as flat as as the flat earther theories.

So when your scv are building depots and stuff, they are mining ? Or scan generate money ? How is that free anything ? Scv not mining arenât free as they donât provide money, for which mules compensate forâŚ
