However in Starcraft 2, there is a feeling that the AI can move the units better than humans, meaning that you get the opposite effect. I think players do get punished for allowing their units to clump together as dictated by the pathfinding. From a zerg perspective I love it when Terran has their MM ball rolled together. It makes my banelings that much more effective. Splash damage and AOE damage seem much more prevalent in Starcraft 2 than in Brood War and I feel this is Blizzard's way of giving players a method to counter the AI's tendency to clump. The only reason the AI seems better than humans at this point is because many of the game's tricks are still hidden and unexplored. Thorough research and knowledgable insight like yours help alleviate this problem and bring forward interesting gameplay. Great article and I look forward to part two. Edit: Unnecessary commas. | ||

Excellent advice about reducing the "surface area" of your Infantry ball vs lings. I guess I kind of knew it intuitively, but I'll be more aware of it now that I've been through it so explicitly stated. Thanks so much! | ||
