the best addition i would be happy to see looks like "mineral mines".

These new buildings would appear if you are using the shortcut of gas raffinery but in positionning on mines, a different building appear where workers could enter in and stay for mining minerals while being sheltered (about five to six workers maybe)

There are at least three advantages :

- variation in economy speed so build orders can vary more depending of the map and the number of these small mines
- mines settling in middle of the map are easier to defend from harassement
- allowing more shape possibility for mapmakers, for example mines can be oriented towards the center (while generally, minerals lines are oriented toward outside), they can be contested of course, but the addition of a fog of war on the lowest floor of the map can reduce units range (from shooting throught cliffs), adding depth to the position and movement of armies.

Plus, it can help for new players to develop their strategy as they are easy to defend.

Just an example for understanding (not a serious one)




To me this kind of idea can bring a lot of variation while it doesn t modify the balance, so mapmakers could create a lot of more complex and new maps (corridors in the middle can be more narrow)

PS : And even if it doesn t work out with pro scene, it will be interesting for casual gamers or hardcore players.
