I would make it so that if you have 6 SCVs you can assemble them into a giant robot that attacks by picking up supply depots and throwing them.

however, i think this is one thing that wouldnt take anything away from hardcore players while giving a lot to beginning players and those who switch from sc2 etc.

I think it's the opposite. It raises the barrier of entry by making you feel like you're playing sub-optimally before you've even gotten in the lobby. It's just tedious and annoying to figure that stuff out. The lowest barrier of entry is what they do now, just making the hotkey the first available letter in the name of the unit. That actually makes sense and is easy to learn except for a few weirdly named upgrades.

how so? I mean, I agree that they should stay as is(first letter in name of unit) since I always thought it was easier to remember if you think about it but if someone comes from let's say SCII where marines are A for ex and they change it, it would technically get them into the game faster, no?

For everyone wanting a higher resolution, Insect Loader has always worked for me. It takes some getting used to though, since the units seem a lot smaller, and is probably illegal on bnet since it allows you to see much more of the map.

Just set the resolutions in the .ini file, and RUN AS ADMIN

Part of the reason I like BW is because of how the game is played and all of the little tricks, shenanigans etc... that you can do. Units getting stuck is annoying but you're not going to lose a game because your unit got stuck lol. If your opponent is already in your main and taking out your gateways, chances are you've already sustained some damage, not to say you still can't win since I've won games after that but I don't see units popping below buildings as a big problem in that specific scenario. Your opponent can also just reposition his hydras around the gateway and kill the units as they are produced so been able to change what direction they come from the gateway won't change much.


He's refering to the gateway used for walling in your FE on PvZ.

What's wrong with you people! You've all got the david kim flu! Suggesting the fix of annoying features it's alright, but changing the units/stats/balance it's not.

Maybe scouts could use a little umph....but w/e...

hmm now that you mention it that way, ya, it was a little annoying to see zealots spawn at the bottom lol but is it really that big of a deal? I'm sure there are more pressing matters like that valkyrie bug that's been mentioned


I've had to cancel high templars because of hydralisk busts. It sucks, especially if you went for a build order that gets a second gateway very late. It slows down your templar production by so much.

And I've seen professional terrans lose to zergling rushes because their marine spawned outside of their wall... It's bad.

well, I was actually considering mid game or rather when you have like 4-5 gateways in your main so that one unit that gets killed won't end the game but ya, I can see why it would be problematic in that scenario. ya, true, I think I've seen this happen before as well.

Honestly, I don't think I would fix anything except as the OP mentioned: when units get stuck and you have to press 'S' to release them.

Other than that, I appreciate brood war for what it is and what it's always been: the best RTS game ever (not aiming to point this in any sort of debate; it's merely my opinion).

Long live BW~

id be the first one playing with legacy keys because i couldnt be bothered to relearn the hotkeys (same as i do in dota2)

however, i think this is one thing that wouldnt take anything away from hardcore players while giving a lot to beginning players and those who switch from sc2 etc.

That's what starbow is for

starbow is a different game with different units. Your statement is nonsensical and off-topic.

having all of the hotkeys on the left side of the keyboard isnt sub-optimal, in fact, its the optimal way to play. New players will have to learn the hokeys regardless which letter you choose. While having "m" instead of "a" to make a Marine might have more sense, i guarantee you it wouldnt make a difference to you after a couple of games, while on the other hand it might help with stopping the carpal tunnel syndrome

Yeah, actually, hotkey bindings are the only thing keeping me from playing BW more intensively. I don't want to learn 2 sets of hotkeys switching back from SC2 to BW and vice versa, it would have been nice to just be able to set the hotkeys.

More tilesets.
More ramps.
More editor support in general.

The easiest thing would be for Blizzard to release the source code, allowing the community to repair any Windows 7 issues, as well as enabling the creation of additional content that would also be backwards compatible. Higher game resolution, additional map tilesets with high-resolution textures and sprites, easily distributable and playable BWAPI AIs to train against, extending the sprite cap so that valkyries don't just shut down, and so on.

The approach that id Software took was releasing the source code to just the Quake engines, but not releasing the full game such as the single-player maps. That way there's still at least some incentive to purchase the full game, but the community is also able to benefit freely from community-provided upgrades to games that would otherwise be considered long-since deprecated and superseded by newer games.

Anyone remember changing their .pak files? Custom models, map textures, HUDs, and sounds that are all interchangeable and customizable, and being able to mix and match from different sets to suit your preferences. Ahh, carriers with flame decals and siege tanks with targets painted on them, or the casting sound for each plague being changed to "PLAGUUU."

Not that that would ever happen, of course.
