when it comes to big budget RTS games Blizzard is the last game in town... Ensemble and EALA packed it in a long time ago.... and Victory Games never actually produced a game. | ||

So when you're trying to imagine how to make the game better you just resort to "make it more like BW". I think her approach is reasonable. Even if you don't play either game, you can understand why it would be cool to reward a player more for expanding more. I remember watching SCBW games and you knew when a player was on 6 bases that he was going to be pumping out a lot of unit and you'd get a lot of insane action for the next little while. Now you see a player on 6 bases and it's no more crazy than before. It just lasts longer. I think it's clear that I have my preferences but you can't deny, if you've ever watched BW, that there's something exciting about a zerg who's managed to expand very quickly and he gets to go into overdrive mode. Hell, in SCBW zerg couldn't easily even build ultralisks on 3 bases. It generally required 4+, and when it got there you knew shit was getting real. | ||

Then the dev team gets fired and new people come in telling blizz fanbois not to buy their games. Despite all their complaining and whining, they will always be as rabid as ever over the next blizz releases and it was whining that got rid of jay wilson from D3. and even then D3 remains inferior to its predecessor and other ARPG like PoE | ||

BW econ doesn't really create much "defender" advantage, but "expander" advantage due to saturation (max efficiency) happening with 1 worker per patch. The defender advantage only really happens if the defending player is at least 1 base ahead spreading workers. If not, being contained or turtled means decreased efficiency on economy. Turtle players can be easily exploited by spreading workers on more expansions. Imagine the typical ZvP scenario where Protoss goes more or less turtle against Z. Zerg is usually 1 base ahead or even 2. Then Protoss would get more punished since the Zerg could have the same econ it can reach right now with less workers. Larva save is important for Zerg. Same applies for turtle Mech. Defensive turtling strategy? Okay, let' have 1.5 times income than the turtle with same workers. The problem with SC2 econ is that in order to gain advantage over a turtle player you have to expand AND build more workers than them to gain income advantage, so you cannot afford an equal army to the turtle player. Typical case of 90 worker Zerg vs mech. | ||
