Mineral line

Mineral Line is a term that refers to the space between a group of mineral patches and a gathering facility (e.g. a Hatchery) in which worker units (e.g. Drones) move back and forth, gathering and returning minerals. Mineral Line Saturation refers to how many workers there are in the mineral line in comparison to how many mineral patches there are. Generally a ratio of about 3 workers to 1 mineral patch is ideal, but sometimes less or more workers are used. The mineral line is a very fragile and important part of a game because it dictates the economy of a player. Because of this, mineral lines are often the first thing to be assaulted during a successful attack, and are frequently the target of Harassment.

owen line

He is someone who promises the world but fails to deliver. He doesn’t open up to everyone, it takes someone special. He will treat that girl and make her feel loved until he thinks he could do better. He will cheat if he has to as he can only cope with the easy options. He comes across as charming, funny and hardworking but when you see his true colours you’ll be shocked by the anger and unresolved issues he has. But you’ll be free from this. Owen line needs a girl who will be just like his mum, someone who cooks everyday, cleans, sorts his bills and doesn’t need a thank you. If you fall for an Owen Line just remember he’ll always replace you like his car.

Avoid an Owen Line at all costs
