Is this in the beta? (Korhal image)

It doesn't matter if terrans can "out-zerg" the zerg. Most terrans aren't soldiers, and they can't replace losses almost instantly like the zerg can.

But, the fact that they have the industry to build a city-planet in only four years suggests that they have just as insane industry military wise as well. Also, some explanations for Terran growth also explain that they can replace losses almost instantly, such as the wombsis idea.

"Wombsis" isn't particularly parsimonious. Ideas such as that, and cloning, have not been discussed in lore.

I think we should stick to what's possible, and it's not a huge deal if the numbers are wrong. StarCraft wasn't a detailed universe when first "written" and, when Blizzard makes changes, sometimes they're for the better.

I'd rather Blizzard retcon something than stick to bad lore written haphazardly 12 years ago. Retcons don't have to be bad; I think people react negatively to them because lots of authors (Blizzard included) frequently are bad.

Im hoping they do a retcon. I don't want them to explain it away. I thought that could generally be seen.

Are we even sure this is Korhol and not some other heavily populated planet? It doesn't have to be Korhol to have statues of Mengsk.

The image file is actually called Korhal...

The file on Wikia is called Korhal, so what? That doesn't mean its Korhal, anyone could have named it that.

I find Blizzards major retcons in every new game annoying, they have a lot to learn from how Bioware have constructed the storylines of their series in recent years.

Starting to see the problem yet?

If Heart of the Swarm retcons Wings of Liberty, I might get annoyed. There's no reason for them not to have this stuff thought-through by now. That would be the Bioware equivalent.

More than 13 years have passed. SC's story has changed from an essentially indie project developed by some 3 dudes sitting around an empty office into a world-wide phenomenon that's worked on by experienced professionals.

The original numbers in the manual always were kinda strange. I mean they make sense logically speaking and all, it's just that you kinda box writers in with numbers like that. You're restricting all your stories involving terrans to take place on planets with nothing more then small shanty-towns and whatnot. Even just largish cities would be extremely rare. It'd all become incredibly dull after a time. So upping the numbers would definitely give the writers more leeway with what they can come up with.

l33telboi said it best.

I just thought of something.

If within the span of only 4 years or so, the Koprulu terrans were able to transform a radioactive desert world into a ecumenopolis, I shudder to think what Earth must look like In this particular era.

[Pandonetho]

Earth could probably create a black hole to devour the whole K-sector, lulz.
