Greetings.

StarLance is a Redesign and Rebalance Mod of SC2, applied as an Extension Mod for Multiplayer LotV - it can be played on any melee map

StarLance is playable now on EU, US, and KR

Features
  • High-Ground advantage - all units receive 50% less damage from units shooting from lower ground
  • Hot Mineral Harvesting - the economy is a bit slower and base saturation matters. Workers return 5 minerals when mining alone in a mineral field, and return 4 minerals when 2 or more workers are mining it
  • Extremely noob friendly - structures and larva can be set to auto-produce units (auto cast enabled). Units have +2 vision range to make map control and scouting easier, and you can also see the engagements coming, which makes them a bit more forgiving, as you can play with higher ping or reaction time. Removed macro mechanics (MULE and Inject Larva removed, and reworked Chronoboost - set and forget). Workers also have a bit more HP so harassment damage is harder and defending with them is less punishing
  • Added "Standard" armor tag - most units and bonus damage is now divided between Armored, Standard, and Light, creating more soft counters. Damage in general is also a bit lower, fights take a bit more time to resolve
  • Max supply - raised to 250. Lategame armies felt too small, many units are very costly in terms of supply. Now you can have a little bit more


Faction changes
  • Removed Units - Corruptor, Broodlord, Viper, Locust, Mothership, Oracle, Disruptor
  • Added Units - Medic, Firebat, Vulture, Goliath, Dropship, Defiler, Scourge, Guardian, Devourer, Infested Terran, Dragoon, Reaver, Dark Archon, Arbiter

  • Terran - Tech Reactor is available as a lategame boost. Rebalanced a bit Tech Lab and Reactor as well (cost and build time, creating different builds). Vehicle Plating and Ship Plating are separate upgrades again. Ghosts have less HP and cost less minerals.
  • Zerg - Creep no longer gives movement speed to Zerg units, and instead doubles HP Regeneration. The movement speed of Zerg units has been rebalanced for this. Hydralisk Den is available at Hatchery tech instead of Lair (requires Spawning Pool). Queens have been reworked to be general army units
  • Protoss - Warp Gate now always warps in units at a static duration (instead of 5s "fast" and 16s "slow" mode). Removed Shield Battery Overcharge and Mass Recall, Chronoboost requires an upgrade on the Nexus. Void Rays can not shoot air anymore and charge up like in WoL



This only scratches the surface of all the changes in order to give you a basic idea of what the mod can offer. For detailed and in-depth changes, please visit the webpage link:

Good

Hope you will tweak SC2.

(Lurkers / Tanks overlapping for example ... Banelings with 1 supply with increased caracterictics and a bigger size base model... Come back with Infested Terrans ... And so on)

Hello everyone!

The feedback I'm getting the most about StarLance is that, first, great job, and second, that it's too much like Broodwar, to add back the removed units from HotS and LotV

The reason I removed them in first place is because I didn't like what they brought to the game (I think frustration in most cases), and it was easier simply removing them than reworking them.

The next step for StarLance is to keep adding back the removed units (after reworking them!).

That being said, a new update is out, adding back the Adept, Ravager, and Hellbat!

Hello again!

I've finished work on the Terran side of things - no units have been removed from Terran anymore

The Cyclone comes in later into the game since it requires an Armory, but it's also cheaper and faster to produce, and moves a bit faster. The Cyclone's damage and the Lock On ability now deal the same damage, it's just a "range extender" for kiting. The damage can be upgraded with the Mag-Field Accelerators upgrade as usual, but this time it also increases the damage of the weapon, it's always in sync. There's a new upgrade - the Widow Mine! Now Cyclones can place 1 Widow Mine, just like Vultures would place Spider Mines

The Widow Mine can no longer be produced in the Factory, and instead comes exclusively through the Cyclone's upgrade. Widow Mines destroy themselves after one shot and instead of dealing massive AoE damage, they apply the Raven's LotV's Anti-Armor Missile debuff, making it a deterrent to combat instead of outright killing everything in sight. The single target damage remains very high.

The Liberator now requires Fusion Core and is cheaper to produce, but has less HP. It's also way slower and a bit smaller. The anti-ground damage is nerfed considerably but can now attack structures as well. The anti-air damage has been replaced with another laser, which is very long range but low damage and single-target. Overall it feels really healthy to play with

For a detailed changelog please see this link

Small update released!

In this case it's mostly just balance changes to the previously introduced units. However, there's one small design change with some implications.

A little bit of backstory: When Creep gives a huge speed bonus (30% in LotV) you practically have to design and balance different games on creep and out of creep. We wanted more flexibility so we made Creep 0% speed bonus and increased the base speed of all Zerg ground units to compensate.

However, spreading creep is a cool mechanic and we felt the Zerg wasn't being rewarded enough for doing that. This is why Creep now increases Zerg ground units speed by 10%.

This amount of speed is not unnoticeable, but not overwhelming either. It's now just a small nice bonus that you don't need, engagements look almost the same, while with 30% speed it was a day and night difference. This creep speed nerf (in general) is specially good for the Zerg players who love to play offensively because when there are huge bonuses you are "forced" to play with the bonuses, which for Zerg on creep means defensively

Small update!

The Firebat initial attack delay was decreased significantly from 0.5s to 0.05s. They now feel great instead of miserable to micro.

Fixed Hotkeys setup, and also some small buffs to the Cyclone and Reaper. Small stuff, but it matters!

Units feel really great now!

Hello everyone! Yet another update!

New units: Corruptor, Brood Lord, Viper

Details
https://forum.starlance.club/t/update-17-02-2022/44

Only 3 units are missing now: Locust, Oracle, and Mothership!

Corruptor is really fun now. It's more of a support role unit than a massive hard counter to air. You can go around slowing units, and it's really effective because you regenerate life easily with the upgrade.

Brood Lord is no longer abusive as it can be killed by simply walking over the Broodlings... it's also meant to be a support unit, you need stuff on the ground now to prevent them from being sniped. Broodlings do a considerable amount of damage over time and don't feel nearly as frustrating as before when they were blocking you from movement.

In order to differentiate Guardian from Brood Lord, I've decreased the Brood Lord impact damage (so that you focus on the Broodlings instead), and made the Guardian a bit faster. Guardian has lower HP and is faster, and has high alpha damage. Brood Lord has high HP and is slower, but has a very high damage over time.


I hope you like the changes!

Cheers! ❤️

Hello everyone!

I haven't had much time lately to focus on the mod, I hope you are all doing great!

I've made some small improvements to the mod itself, and I've also synchronized the project with Blizzard's new 5.0.9 patch, removing redundant changes that the mod already solved, and keeping the new official changes

Shoutout to Fenrack for streaming StarLance!

Getting feedback is really important, as it shows many things to improve. What I'll be working next is on making the transition from LotV to StarLance smoother!

Thank you for reading!

Hello!

Sorry for the late response, I've been quite busy lately. Unfortunately the tournament didn't go through due to lack of participation. Hopefully there will be more in the future!

------

I've been continuing the work on taking StarLance back a bit closer to LotV, so that players can adapt faster to the changes and so that it doesn't feel as strange playing it.
