Then Terran and Toss would just wait till all minerals on the map is mined, and then attacked. Are you kidding? Zerg would by far be the race that benefits the most as they typically have the highest drone count, and with the cost inefficiency of roaches right now, having a larger supply cap would help a ton in the late game. Anyways, dumb idea and you should promote engagements and action during the late game. | ||

After all, SC2 is not C&C. | ||

I do think changing it to something like 300 would be interesting to explore in a custom for a few games though | ||

Tying this in with the supply cap, I think it would be interesting to experiment with increasing supply caps as a way of encouraging greedier late-game play by allowing for more worker supply to be spread out over more bases. | ||

This is what they implemented in Brood War. My guess is that it is just because at the time the game was made, they could only support so many things to display at once. For all of the why SC2 shouldn't be like BW debates, this is just another concept that was carried over to the second game. Also, interesting to note, since the Valkyrie has that crazy attack animation with so many rockets, there is this "A bug prevents the Valkyrie from attacking if there are too many units on the screen." | ||

It's a good limitation. After all, SC2 is not C&C. Uh oh, incoming supply cap removal (Browder worked on CnC RA2) For me it's still a performance issue. My comp can't handle monobattles at times and I always have to play on lowest settings. | ||

As for the RA2 comparison, I don't think that's too much of an issue. Sure you had unlimited supply but in reality very few games went past the C&C equivalent of a 200/200 supply mark in ladder. | ||

But I think more open maps would upset the early game too much and tailor too much to the Zergs strengths. (ground mobility) Could be interesting to play around with though. | ||

It would be more interesting to have a +50 supply T3 upgrade for zerg  (the better fix would of course be to re-balance roach, hydra and ultra towards 1, 1 and 4 supply though. gives us back the swarm and makes zerg supply costs reasonable again.) | ||

Alot of peapole seems to be worried that it will take aeons for the sides too attack each other, but what if the supply/control/psi cap was timed, for an example: Below 20 minute in too the game you can't go higher than 200 supply/control/psi but after that 20 minutes, you can build up to a 400 supply/control/psi cap, and 35 mins 600 supply/control/psi and so and so forth.

I'm not saying that this is a bad idea, (i will let others do that for me  ) but i can imagine a zerg mass resources and larva until the 20 min mark, and then make 100 roaches at once and instantly remax would be quite a sight. | ||

And the supply you build when capped becomes a "Unsupplied supply depot." And you'll have to pay a slight fee when not capped to get them supplied. And for the pylons, you can have "Unpure Pylons." Which will pretty much do the same thing as the Unsupplied Supply depots. Wouldn't that kinda solve the problem, eh. | ||
