Rebuilding the overlord you sacced will put you in the same position you originally were, and this only costs you 100 minerals.
I also noticed you keep mentioning that you 'lose 100 minerals when the overlord dies', this isn't true since the mineral 'loss' doesn't come from the unit dying. I think this is where you might be double-counting because you are considering a loss of minerals where there isn't one.
So, rebuilding the overlord costs 100 minerals, correct.
No, you technically dont lose 100 minerals when the overlord dies, I realise that. If said correctly, it'd be that you lose a unit worth of 100 minerals when the overlord dies.
Thats right, the first overlord was worth 100 minerals. Because you spent 100 minerals on it. Notice how I put the word spent in bold throughout the entire thing. Spent. Not lost (Although technically for the first one, it is spent and then lost).
How many minerals were spent to replace it? 100.
100 + 100 = 200 minerals spent.
You agree that you need to build the second overlord, and thats two overlords, which cost 100 minerals each. Why are you saying its double counting, if you are agreeing that two overlords are needed?
