80 banelings vs 40 marauders

This is the proper way of using marauders vs banelings, you dont need to attack with your marauders, they just need to spread and soak the damage. This is also why zerg does not use the attack-move command against a terran that has marauders mixed in with the marines, they need to blow up on the marines and not the marauders.

marauders are 2 food count units.... two banelings are 1 count of food. so.. yours was 80 food count vs 40 food count. you could have microd the mauaders back a bit and throw 1 at the banling ball

@Tagg360 Yes, but resource cost 80 banelings is 4000 minerals/2000 gas, while marauders are 4000 minerals/1000 gas. Also, throwing a single marauder out at them isnt always reliable since you run out of room or run through chokes in most maps, which results in units clustering up and slowing down which can be bad. Spreading (especially if you dont have siege tanks) is better if you have the APM for it.

PS: I just selected units and moved them to spread, not hotkeys.

Banelings arent that great against marauders, welcome to what was discovered in beta.

@ncsjcca2 This video was early into the life of SC2, and had you read the description of the video you would understand the point of the video. Thanks for the view and the trolling though.

@Phrozenfury2 .... When you make ONE zergling with ONE larva you create 2 zerglings which is ONE food. each zergling is worth 0.5 food. Ban lings do not require food in order to transform. one bangling is 0.5 food. The player is using 80 individual Banglings not 160 units of banglings. you can tell by the control tabs 24 banlings on each tab and 4 tab would be 80. 96 if its full but its not. 80 banglings = 40 food. Google it and play sc

@Tagg360 except 2 banelings aren't 1 food. if you make 1 larva worth of lings you get 2 food worth of lings, which makes 2 food worth of banes. 2 banes = 2 food. 80 banes = 80 food, 40 marauders = 80 food

[Tagg360]

@Phrozenfury2 2 banelings = 1 food. so 80 banes are = to 40 food. 40 marauders are worth 80 counts of food

[Phrozenfury2]

@Tagg360 two banelings aren't 1 food?

I admit. That was some pretty good marauder splitting.
