A probe with a CC will mine slower than a SCV with a Nexus, etc. SCVs are the worst to harass, because they have very short range and the BW pathing has troubles with that. If you gave the same short range to a probe, it wouldn't be very good for harass either. Their accel/decel is identical, the game uses the values from flingy.dat and there they have the same values for accel, stop distance, max speed and turn speed. | ||

about the last 6 hours so far has been spent fiddling with unit sizes. units look tiny now with default sc2 camera. i may make BW camera the default setting and remove it's option but yea i've pretty much been coming to the same conclusions as you k10 nice double post  | ||

Dude.. Just try porting Paranoid Android, man. It is a square map, but CERTAINLY it can't be a square map in SC2, and be the same. There will be many losses (center area or base area, whatever... some parts will shrink). As for the unit sizes... Let's take a look in the difference of size between marine and mineral field:
And for the unit clumping - marine as an example again (yes, I did put those marines as close as possible):
What I think would be a good idea is: reduce the size of the marine to 0.9 and reduce its radius to 0.25 instead of 0.375. It should look like this: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/CpXvE.png) For the record, a single 1x1 in SC1 is 32x32 pixels, which means not much. It means that a tank, a goliath or a vulture will block it (their hitboxes are 32x32)... Or that approximately 4 marines will fill it (marine's hitbox is 17x20). :T @MavercK + Show Spoiler + By the way, did you know all units hitboxes when you made the map? I'm making a .xls with all hitboxes. I hope it will be useful. (: Well, I've been experimenting with other unit sizes (Terran only), and what I've figured out (it can be a well known fact, but, well, I didn't know):
There's also the building's orientations that bothers me.. Here's what I think should be the best orientations:

I mean, when we have dynamic unit movement, everything's ready. ;___; | ||

MBS also favors Zerg due the double advantage of having dual-rallies as well. Maybe Hardcore mode could be made standard instead of EZmode? Cause I know there's a lot of people out there that play this game because its way easier than BW. I agree EZmode is ridiculously imba. | ||

it also seemed that with sc2's better surround ai that lings are quite strong, or they feel stronger than in bw even | ||

Because a zergling is able to chase down a probe without micro, which completely imbalances regular pvz. Its not really possible to have a safe FFE build without proper probe scouting and makes things like 2-3 hat hydra and speedling allins too powerful. zerglings (i guess all melee units) have a weird phase where they sometimes move to just outside their attack range and dont do anything for half a second or so especially if the unit is turning i can decrease the zergling sloop. but this can be a massive nerf to zerglings i'll look into it anyway *EDIT* theres a small issue with muta stacking. when they begin spreading it's hard to immediately stack them again as the spreading trigger continues despite my efforts to stop it. i wanna completely remake this trigger but just so you know it can take maybe 3-5 seconds of constantly moving mutas around to stack them properly pro-tip - dont stop moving your mutas | ||

I'd only do it if we can get some big names in (morrow said hed play even if it was 50 dollars right haha) Just wanna get a format where we can see some big names vs each other haha I'm willing to put up cash but id prefer if others organise. I can (want to) also cast/stream, but i'm really not a good organiser | ||
