Hi Elegant, firstly I'd like to disclaim that I support your initiative 100% (As I've already stated) and that this post has no discouraging or "I could do it better" innuendo to it. Please see it purely as food for thought.

While listening to the vulture video a few things stuck out for me. So here they are.

You might want to start introducing your audience to the damage types and unit sizes relevant to damage with these unit specific videos. Like where you said that vultures are good against lightly armoured units, which is not entirely true. As there is no "armoured" class in BW a la SCII and the vulture, being a high damage attack/low attack rate unit (tank, dragoon), is actually good against high armour units in theory as opposed to low damage/high rate units (marine, zergling). The reason this is not true in the game as far as the vulture is concerned is because they do concussive damage i.e. 50% damage to large and 75% to medium units. And this is why they are so good against workers and small/medium units. The fact that shields take full damage from all types of attack is also worth mentioning in this context.

Also afaik it takes 3 hits by a +0 vulture to kill a drone because it instantly heals 1hp after the first hit.

Missed larva trick in the zerg walling bit, since it's very easy to do and can augment the wall greatly. The Hat-Den-Hat wall is zealot proof but it is not hydra proof which can be very useful in keeping ones hydras alive and screwing over zealot AI in raids. But now I am just nitpicking.

Once again thanks for this project and I will be looking forward to your upcoming vids.

Thanks for your input, I'll take it on board. There are new vids coming, I'm just a little fatigued at the moment. Having to try to split and upload about 20 bugged out ISL commentary VODs atm as well

Actually concussive is 25% to large and 50% to medium. Explosive is 50% to small and 75% to medium. Might be easiest just to link this page which also includes information about multiple attacks per animation and splash: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Damage#Types_of_Damage

Right, I'm sorry for the huge delay, but today or tomorrow comes another video. And I'll have moved house on Thursday, at which point they should be nice and regular.

Watch this space!

Because it is mechanically much more demanding. It is more balanced and in my opinion sharpens your strategical thinking better than SC2. I still play BW more often than SC2, and the BW skills translate much better to SC2 than the other way around.

It would be very had to explain to someone who did not play Broodwar at a medium icc level (C+ for example).

There is a lot of satisfaction from a game well played on broodwar since there is much more ways you can screw up your build.

Also there are no "total nullifiers" in this game. The counters to other builds are strong, but its not one sided as in sc2. This allows to win games where you made a mistake on your judgement in build order, but your skill compensates for it.

I belive there is little skill can do for a 4 warpgate player vs cloack banshee (assuming terran has 2-3 bunkers at his ramp).

In general Broodwar stayed alive so long for a reason, and while many of us (broodwar-lovers) might not agree on what that reason exactly is, we know there is one :D.

Nice video! I really enjoy watching them. Great to see people still taking the initiative to help promote BW.

I'll try to make one this weekend, since there's demand. I'm just ludicrously busy during the week, and busy-ish friday-monday. But yeah screw that, I'll put more out whenever I can.
