This would add decision to the process of spawning larva and also add some complexity to the zerg build; do I want to spawn larva or save my units for now? I'm not considering balance in this, I figure it can be adjusted later. Well, just a thought out there. | ||

Another thing I was thinking about is what will be possible to break in SC2 (MBS etc, at least Scarab pathing, multiple unit selection...?) to make UMS as similar to BW as possible... I remember blue post that said it won't be easy but will be possible to "turn off" MBS. What if BW leagues don't die and keep on living (as SC2 UMS) with new SC2 ones? | ||

Official reason was BN2.0 but no word on when beta starts yet From recent TL interview http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=107013 TL: I have to ask quickly about the beta – there had been hints that it would be coming in the first few months of 2010. What types of numbers would we be looking at for the first wave? And is there any sort of format for how new players will be added later on (bulk waves, trickle in etc)? DB: I don't think I have the answer to that question, it would be a better question for Chris Sigaty as he usually keeps that stuff. I also know that those numbers will change over time and we will decide as the beta goes forward how many people to invite based on how well we are doing with our server load, player activity etc. It will be a little bit organic – there isn't sort of a secret document somewhere that I can read to you and say “Oh there's the whole plan!”. We're going to play it a little bit by ear as we go. | ||

http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=21724987619&sid=3000 I have to say Brood Lord in his avatar looks very good, even though I didn't like Swarm Guardian look being scrapped. There are few new blue posts http://sc2pod.com/trackers/blue/starcraft-2/ edit Immortals die to nukes  A good amount of zerg units are affected by the immortal's Hardened Shell. They are particularly effective against roaches, ultralisks, and spine crawlers. Also, Psionic Storm and Nuclear Strike do not appear to be affected by the Hardened Shell as the immortal I just nuked disintegrated gloriously. | ||

I have something to share. Two new never before seen Zerg Concepts. Well here they are. What do you guys think? http://s838.photobucket.com/albums/zz305/whiteknight021/?action=view¤t=zerg2.jpg&newest=1 http://s838.photobucket.com/albums/zz305/whiteknight021/?action=view¤t=Zerg1.jpg Would of made my own topic, however I realise I have only been here for 2 days, not 3. If someone could turn this into a discussion topic for me giving credit, I would be grateful. Thanks. | ||

I remembered a unit from a game I played when I was younger, Earth 2140, which was called the TIGER Hellmaker. I thought of it since it physically resembles the Thor a lot, but more importantly, I figured its attack might as well be a good idea for the Thor. It fires two slowly moving napalm grenades that impact the ground a second or two later, only to explode in fire. Standing around for the explosion deals damage and standing in the fire as well(which lasts 4-5 seconds). I really feel like such an attack could be useful for an army leading unit, especially in not terribly mobile situations such as base assaults, in which case it works well on a siege unit. This is because leading with a Thor armed with these weapons forces your opponent to move away, or fight, so if you can force a fight it becomes more destructive. Besides this, it's also a fun attack to play with. Faster enemy units can try to avoid the attack in smaller numbers, even it requires heavy attention, and there's also a benefit for individually macroing your Thors to attack different targets so avoiding it is more difficult. A minor benefit is that it's somewhat intricate, yet not an ability. (which is a concern, I believe) | ||

Last I knew mules could be called down anywhere in the player's sight range, not just at the CC calling it down. Of course all of this is subject to tons of change/balance/etc. If they can be called down anywhere, then scanning would still effectively cost minerals even late into the game. If there's a range limitation then you'd eventually have CCs that don't need to call mules and have the spare energy to scan, at which point it's less of an issue. | ||
