It's actually good, have been thinking of this exactly long time ago, Warp gates use are only for special uses like harrasment warp ins and gives the defenders advantage in XvP since P can only get it after Twilight tech.

Just watched this match:

Ryung vs Impact

If you guys can continue to get pros to play games of this quality, you could get a sustainable scene that could get pros and tournaments involved regularly. Potentially.

Anyway, the reason I posted the comment here though: the dark swarms are almost invisible on some tilesets. When Impact used them I had to actively look for them to even realize they were in place- you'll notice TB hesitating before he declares one is in place because he's not sure.

============================================
Also, can I offer some advice now that your mod is becoming popular? In Engineering, we have a saying: "when everybody compromises, nobody gets what they want and nothing works." Community pressure had a huge effect on sc2, and you guys need to listen but make sure not to be pushed around or carried away. If you can manage that, this game could be really big

Also giving burrow move to ALL units, whats up with that o.0

Going back to the creep discussion a couple of pages ago, I think that zerg should get a slight bonus to regen (Like a couple extra hp every few seconds) and possibly have burrowed units move faster.

After playing a lot of games today, two things stood out to me as possibly imbalanced.

With roaches it felt too easy to just charge into anything Terran has and get at least an equal trade. Vs tanks, you can just burrow under whatever meatsheild units Terran has to defend his tanks, and the tanks kill it all for you with their splash, then you unburrow on the tanks and kill them while they kill themselves with their own splash. Maybe burrow charge should get a speed or damage resistance nerf.

With reapers, all you have to do to snipe a base is jump up a cliff with about 10 of them and throw mines next to it, then it's guaranteed dead. It's basically an instant kill on a base and it feels like something that should be in SC2 but not Starbow. I also played around with a 1 base reaper pressure using the mines and it was very effective. I just constantly would throw mines at the natural and any buildings I could get close to and they'd eventually go down. If someone with better micro and multitasking tried something like that, I can see some insane potential for a 1 base all in or a strong TvX opening. Maybe the mines should do less damage vs buildings, or be destructible, or not regenerate.

I think a lot of sc2 zerg units were weaker because they had the advantage of creep half the time. In starbow, the creep advantage was removed but some units stats remained the same (e.g. banelings). Has this been taken into account? If they were ported in with the same stats but did not have creep advantage, the sc2 zerg units would be inferior to the broodwar zerg units (roaches got that new burrow ability so this possibly only affects banes, and maybe lings?)
