but later they delted 4 - they can be used in UMS mode though one of the players controlls "dead" players' units - in beta they keep mining and attack you, if someone leaves one player controlls things like dark swarms (these are units which belong to him) etc the "?" changes into a really lame face when you press start the font is different when you write something you dont see your own id no sound during countdown, as well as no sound when a message in game comes the game reminds me of warcraft2 battle.net edition | ||

![]() Vultures and mines are awesome in this version, with the exception of when your vultures get stuck on each other/mines, which happens a *lot*. Only way to get them off is to attack the ones that are stuck. But, as I said, mines rock. They come out of the vults *running* rather than just sitting still as the vults float off of them. The vults don't actually float off in this version either, rather, the mines run off the vultures. You can also mine things from a distance, along with the fact that mines attack larva. A favorite strategy of mine is to get 12 vultures and tell them to mine a larva (actually clicking on a larva). This will make them "shoot" mines out from like 6 tiles away, and the mines run in and explode on the larva, thereby killing the hatchery ![]() | ||

Very interesting, very eye opening. Starcraft could have been a complete flop with only a FEW minor differences (such as the mines). TIberian Sun by Westwood was a pretty decent RTS... but the soviets had underground tanks. IF ONLY THEY LET YOU ATTACK THEM when you had detection, the game could have survived. But NO.... you can't! So everyone got underground tanks ALL the time and it was gg allies. | ||

Tiberian sun was horrible, it might have been ok if westwood would have actually made it ( EA bought out westwood, took over development and the game sucked as a result) | ||

ultralisk road made them run faster - like the broodwar ultralisks there was also "zealot rage" (?) which made them run and(?) attack faster | ||

I am reading this thread few days with great interest, but I have nothing to say. Now you give me a good reason! Edit: And some nice background music! I thought me and IntoTheWoW were the only Dream Theater fans around here. ![]() | ||

![]() And now, for some exciting news: After a few more hours of reversing, I managed to patch the next thing on the list: playing 1-player games. With the updated Exe, you can now start games where there is only 1 person in the lobby. http://avantageous.com/NewStarcraftBetaExe.rar | ||
