As someone who is coming from SC2 to try out this glorious game, I'm hoping it's fairly simple to install for plebs such as myself. An intuitive ladder, and left click installation would be great. For anyone who has already tried out Shield Battery, how easy is it to install for us SC2 plebs?

It's really easy.

Some people have issues, like the starcraft path being wrong, but that's what beta is for!

Are you disappointed?!

No, actually I am quite amazed by Shield Battery. As Jealous said, it is active sure, but more so with Chat Crafters and less with players..I cannot wait for to be more active, I am actually in love with this project, easily the best BW project and server hands down. Once it gets more populated, stats, ranking system, and auto match making, it will be even more so amazing, really just need a larger PLAYER base and less chat crafters( like Jealous) ^^

Frankly I haven't seen very many people in there just to chat and who are not gaming/planning to game soon/had just gamed. Almost everyone online is either idle/afk or looking for games.

Most people simply don't stream. Maybe you should give the beta to some streamers for more exposure (not sure if that is necessary yet though)
I am sure some of the bigger sc2 streamers would play it as well (nathanias, avilo, incontrol, tlo, etc)

I, and I'm sure others, stream games sometimes but don't really wanna spam the topic over it. It would be nice if there was a way to distinguish streams on the sidebar, but it's still just Brood War, so there's not much of a difference.

Might need to hard-refresh (ctrl-F5 will usually do it). The certificate was just expiring today, the new one won't expire until October, so I'm sure this problem is fixed. If you're not seeing an error about INVALID_CERT_DATE, PM me a screenshot of the problem you're seeing.

Btw, it would be cool for the uninitiated, to have a strategy section with links to liquipedia. I totally forgot the correct build orders for pvt and was getting demolished yesterday. I remembered liquipedia so managed to read up on the correct BO and watch a couple of reference videos, but in the future, new people or people coming from sc2 might not have the same luck. Just my thoughts

...Let me get this out of the way: StarCraft 2 is more strategic than StarCraft 1. Both are RTS (Real Time Strategy) games, but they have different emphasises. SC1 is a Real Time Strategy game, and SC2 is a Real Time Strategy game.

SC1 is a game of speed and mechanics. Yes, there is a lot of strategy, of course, but it is certainly secondary to being able to make as many units as possible and to move those units in the right way.

SC2 is a game of strategy. Yes, there are lots of mechanics and speed required, of course, but those are much less punishing than making incorrect strategic choices...

Shots. I wanna see Tasteless' reaction when he sees this or directly hears from Artosis.

Tofu was saying that Liquipedia is a good place to find BW strategy info, I fail to see how that quote is at all relevant.


As for ShieldBattery's role in disseminating that info, trying to reproduce content collection and aggregation is a pretty explicit non-goal of the project. TL is already a good forum for BW, Liquipedia is a great resource for strategy and information, and we don't plan on trying to become *yet another* location for those things. It'd be nice to try and pull some of that information into the game (maybe), but it's pretty low in the priority list. I question it's value, too, as builds in BW are often quickly more complex than "build X building a Y supply", and require some more in-depth reading/thought than you can really give them during a game.

I just remembered that thread when he said that BW is all about strategy and wanted to make a laughing stock of Artosis.
