everybody is more micro than macro.

LOL that's so not true for SC players. It's macro or die. I don't care if you have Boxer micro but noob macro. I'll just steamroll you with hoards and hoards of units from 3 bases.

I play more macro than micro. Of course I micro when I can, but I simply don't have the multitask to maximize both micro and macro. Hence, I prioritize macro but micro when I really need to or can afford to.

And Hemp, expansions are so much more important in SC than in WC3. The furthest that a WC3 game would go is with 1 expansion and maybe 2 for Humans.

It's not to say that micro isn't rewarded in SC. It's just that the macro and multitask aspects are what have truly separated SC from any other RTS.

One thing that's really delaying SC2 is how to keep players busy macroing while still keeping the "easy mode" features introduced in WC3.

what the easy mode features? the group management?

well a long time ago when i was playing sc i was really pissed at how units in a group cast/use a skill when you only meant to use 1...like grouping templars and ooops they all psystorm when you only want one to cast...they solved that in wc3.
