Or maybe have a toggle option in the players screen where you can pick if you're playing a game of 8 or of 10. i think that would be really cool anyone else? no. increased mineral gain would definitely result in balance issues later on. also, ive never once thought bw was slow or "grindy". if anything theres not enough slow aspects of the game for new players which is why everyone loses like their first 50-100 games | ||

Similarly 2 barracks style could be viable tvt in ways it isn't now due to being able to afford greater marine count. Other styles like better 1 base play or 2 hatch play in zvt could also become playable. it would need testing but it could improve broodwar gameplay alot. ummm....youre either E rank equivalent on iccup or dont watch pros at all or both. many games finish in less than 10 minutes at pro level. multiple pros have shown that they can hit max supply in less than 10minutes on ladder. also the only games that are really heavily affected by "coin flip" build orders are mirror matches, and even then there are plenty of games where build order loss didnt equate to game loss. you just dont know what youre doing for the first 10 minutes if you think bw is slow | ||

Supply is per race, so if you mind control a probe and scv you can build and max 200/200 armies of all 3 races So if you play PvP and you mind control your opponents probe, you wont be able to have two 200/200 armies? If no, then what happens if you are maxed out? Will it show liek 204/200 in supply? | ||

Boosting economy would only lead to more build order losses because scouting would become relatively more costly and the window for scouting an opponent's build would be a lot narrower. If you like fast economy, mass production, one base games then FPM and similar maps are probably your thing. They do essentially the same thing.

There's a cap of about 1650 total units in a game though (optionally twice that for SC:R), including buildings, resources etc.No, you can hit 200/200 in terran zerg or protoss once each. So the most you can have in a game is 600/600, divided by 3 for race so 3 counters counting 200/200, 200/200, 200/200. mind controlling another players drone or scv, and go from there. if you start as toss mind controlling another tosses probe will just add 1 supply to your food count, going from 167/200 to 168/200 in a imaginary game. it wouldn't change the second integer which is capped at 200 with no way to over that number in any situation ever. broodwar with 300/300 foodcount could be cool though. or 400/400 and bigger maps up to 400x400 or 500x500 to accommodate all the sprites that would be in that game. that would really test macro management ability. but right now you can never have 204/200 unless you are hacking or otherwise illegally modifying the game. natural rules won't let you go to 201 | ||
