This change would open up a world of opportunities for early OP roach pushes like the beginning of beta. | ||

Ok here's what I'm after: I'm thinking about creating a comprehensive guide/list/explanation of everything that makes a map imbalanced towards a certain race. My aim here is to not only help me make my own maps more balanced, but also to help others in understanding what a balanced map consists of. I have no intention of making the post sound as if this is what's imbalanced/balanced and there's nothing you can do about it, but I do plan to make it very clear what kinds of factors can lead to an imbalanced map and what kinds of features you can expect to see in a balanced map. Although I think I know a fair deal about what makes a map imbalanced or balanced, I know I will not be able to take this project on by myself (if I could I wouldn't be posting here), I will attempt to gain insight from the community, and even high level players if possible. Any thoughts? edit: btw this is entirely about how each specific race can manipulate the terrain to their favor, as I believe that any mirror matchup on a perfectly symmetrical map is perfectly balanced (except maybe slightly terran vs terran cuz building addons are kinda weird and if the mapmaker skewed it in such a way on purpose, which isnt the focus). I will probably break it down into a few different categories, like each feature and how each race can deal with it early, mid, and late game. Also how each unit can manipulate terrain. I like this idea, and a thread about it with conclusions added back to the OP would be a very nice resource for map makers. I think to do it right you have to do two things: 1) Go through SC2 Strat forums and find all the good discussions of stuff like this that have already been hashed out 2) Figure out a reasonable way to poll the community on the accuracy of the list. I liked Logo's point that a wide open natural is all right for Zerg when the creep extends to the main choke, that makes sense to me. But does it make sense to the community at large and especially the top Zergs? I wouldn't want us to churn out maps with these features no one is sure we want/need. | ||

For tournaments, no custom stuff would be allowed. But for us crappy home uses, we can have out pretty graphics. XD. | ||

You will look at your 23 inch screen a bit farther then your 15 inch screen. You'll probably be more comfortable (I like having lots of space on my desktop between me and my 22inch monitor to put my arms on my desk) On your 15 inch if you look at it too far you loose a bit of micro accuracy. If you look at it too close you lose comfort. | ||

Time is an universal value that is not fluctuating during a game like Supply and time is also more precise (it can passe 30sec between a supply count) I think the main reason for that is that there is no time shown on the UI... I personaly use my Iphone stopwatch but its annoying to use it everygame. What do you guys think about that ? | ||

A clock is not perfect either because a professional gamer is going to reach the point he should make a certain building before a clumsy 40 apm new player is going to. Using a clock as timer has been widely considered cheating in Brood War's competitive side and thus the main ways of timing are supply count and the a bit more rare way of looking at how many minerals are left on your main/nat patches. Unless Blizzard integrates a clock in to the game there's really no reason to prefer the exact time over supply count. Giving both would be the best I guess. | ||

Not just say: "Okay, beta is open again... now."  (of course i'd be the happiest if they end up doing exactly that, but is it reasonable to hope for this?) | ||

This is where a timer can show a clumsy 40 apm new player where he need to improve ? I didn't know that it was considering cheating ! well no one can prevent player to do it at home... Supply can vary depending on unit lost... and mineral is depending on the harvester saturation... so both of them are not verry accurate to me while time can't lie. So this is the reason why I prefer time over fluctuating value like supply and mineral left. | ||
