I always play Zerg but I think I'm going to play random from now on. | ||

Also some of the articles on how to learn and some of the basic play differences between the races are real good for newer players who maybe haven't really gotten into competitive play yet. There are some layout problems on page 24 making it somewhat hard to read. For the newer players, which this guide is supposedly for, some more in-depth discussion of basic mechanics and how to improve those is probably warranted. When do you box units vs ctrl+click or other selection methods? What and how do you hotkey different things? How do you prioritize different tasks or reactions? What are effective ways to micro different units in different situations? Also, perhaps you could include links to some helpful replay files for each MU for newer users to see. Even just some pictures of in-game things might be useful. Overall, very good guide, though. | ||

There are, as people have pointed out, some flaws, a few mis-labeled items, and even some wrong page numbers in the table of contents. The reason this happened is, I was half-way through version 1.1 when I had to stop for real life priorities, and I didn't want to upload the older version. So yes, definitely a work-in-progress. As for the build orders, some of them might be out-dated, but I try to prune those out. I'm going to incorporate a "legacy strategy" section for them at some point, so that people can re-visit old ideas under new meta-games. I also do a web show for Zerg... I've been thinking of linking to parts of it, regarding specifics within the guide. I worry that might constitute a self-plug though and I'm really not trying to be too "oh, look at all my stuff!" (though all of my stuff is really cool and awesome and worth a look ;D). I also want to link to the day9 daily on Droning and other resources out there. Just a matter of finding the time to compile all of the resources. -- Note: Just because I might not get to implementing changes you suggest immediately, doesn't mean I'm not noting them, so please post your comments and feedback. | ||

However, yes, there will be alot of updates. There's a lot of stuff I want to get written in, however, it's mostly been taking a backseat to actually playing. It isn't so much that I'm putting it off, as I am waiting for enough information. You see, I feel like if I just add a sentence or two every time I write, the thoughts are going to kind of seem sporadic. So I wait for sizable chunks of information worth including and try to mesh them together. I'm a much better writer than editor I guess :/ When, however, heh... I love deadlines, especially the whooshing sound they make as they pass by. I promise there's going to be one soon, though, I've been meaning to write up a section on the newer maps, build orders for them, stephano's mass ling style of play, and a more comprehensive ZvZ, as well as including an incredible amount of links to VoDs on relevant subjects. | ||
