Would need some new maps. Armies are already wayyy smaller in terms of space compared to SC1. A 200/200 protoss army can fit in less than half a screen. Compare that to 200/200 engagements in SC2 which couldn't even be viewed on one screen. | ||

That being said, ultralisks and collossi and battlecruisers... and motherships (lol) are already frickin HUGE, so if those things aren't going to be 10 food each, I don't know what will. Imagine having 40 battlecruisers o.O | ||

I really hope idra, as the only saleried SC2 player currently (last I checked anyways) can help pull SC2 into the mainstream of esports. An SC2 proleague would be absolutely amazing, especially if it can include an international scene, with teams from around the world, not competing for their country, but as their own team. | ||

By this time zerg can get access to a lot of its tech without caping at 200/200 and dying to mech push iuno how this will effect other things. maybe this is something to drastic to mess with this late in the beta. I think this is an excellent idea; however, you are probably correct in that it would require re-balancing the units entirely in order to compensate. While this re-working of the whole system may meet with some optimistic responses from the player base, I sincerely doubt Activision would be too thrilled in letting Blizzard delay the release for something like that, even if it was a viable consideration to begin with. Still, it remains an interesting idea for theoretical discussion. I regards to IdrA's interview, it sounded very Zerg-biased. While that obviously is to be at least somewhat expected, he sounds like he's hoping for a Roach buff. Although, I suppose most people are. I don't think the answer is reducing them back to 1 supply, though. It seems to me that a simple HP buff would suffice. If it costs two supply, increase the HP from 145 to 165 or something along those lines. Alternatively, give it its good ol' 2 armor back. I like that they made the Roach 2 supply; the unit did feel rather overly strong before. However, it feels too weak now, so the logical conclusion is to find a nice middle ground. Make it 2 supply, but have it strong enough so that a Zerg player requires fewer of them to tank. But that's all I will say on the subject, as this is a thread about IdrA's interview, and not about how to fix the Roach (or if it needs fixing). I've probably already said too much, as a matter of fact. Again, in regards to IdrA's interview (that was quite a digression), I find that he doesn't come off the way he should as a professional gamer. I don't know much about Morrow, Strelok, or Dimaga other than what I see from the occasional replay, but I don't think the Morrow/Strelok bashing is called for, be it warranted or not. The paragraph reads, "I think it's mostly deficiencies in the players, not the race. In every region the most skilled players chose Zerg and Protoss, and this is not surprising as in SC1 there were very few good non Korean Terran players. Players like Strelok and MorroW aren't supposed to be able to beat players like Dimaga, because he's just ten times more skilled. When better players begin playing Terran, or new good players rise up as Terran, the race will do just fine. " His point could have been made exactly equally as well as, " I think it's mostly deficiencies in the players, not the race. In every region the most skilled players chose Zerg and Protoss, and this is not surprising as in SC1 there were very few good non Korean Terran players. When better players begin playing Terran, or new good players rise up as Terran, the race will do just fine." It just felt wholly unnecessary, and it seems to me that that is a rather unprofessional attitude to have. -- Edited for spelling, typos, and grammar. -- | ||

Haha thats ROUGH.. I understand saying Morrow, but Strelok is definitely a skilled gamer, one of the best terrans in foreign BW by far.. I do understand Strelok isnt super active in SC2, so I guess thats what he is talking about. still though, ouch! I hate to say it but I agree with idra on most of these points =/ | ||

didnt u notice that 100 marines take half the area as 100 rines in sc1 storm and emp shit r all so ridiculously small just because of all units r so small dragging up the max cap to 300 or 400 is such a huge deal in terms of balance or fun gameplay while making units larger (in radius not models) will increase positional play make micro harder to pull off and be easier on the eyes | ||

Interesting to see that top zergs are having lots of trouble with mech just like the rest of the community. The supply nerf to the roach really did them in, it is incredibly hard to stop a late-game terran mech army that has 4-5 thors, X tanks, and hellion/viking to counter zergling/broodlord | ||
