EPTHowever, the AI is still easily abused by air (notably, void rays). Wait till they push out to your base and start taking out some of their structures and they'll withdraw their army to defend. Rinse and repeat. Currently at an 8 game insane AI win-streak in co-op 3v3 with a friend and random teammates. Other teammate always do nothing all game and we have to do all the work, it's pretty damn intense now and actually kind of addicting.

So that they can get rid of their energy in TvP. Also, no reason for it to not to, and giving players more choice is always better imho. Maybe you wanna destroy destructible rocks really fast  Feedback severely handicaps Thor's late game. Now, you can use a mixture between researching 250mm cannon and say, clearing 5 Thors of energy by killing off one marine (or any of the statues, rocks, etc on the map). That way, they can't be feedbacked. Alternatively, if a battle comes before you have the 150 energy to use the ability, you can a) EMP them b) If its only like 50 energy, or 75 energy on the Thor, HOPE they use feedback because that is one less storm your army will be taking in exchange for only a bit of damage on a Thor. I think Thors will see lategame usage against Protoss. This change wasnt necessary for it, but it will help. You can very easily pick up Thors with medivacs to maintain the same mobility your army had without them. | ||

Maybe they changed the map as it wasnt the correct one on their end. Im going to go and try and confirm this and see if anything has changed. I played 2 games yesterday and the rocks were there both times.s Also the egg thing, larvae stack up a lot less, because they are spread out imo. | ||

250mm gun for thor New icon in the techlab for barracks Same goes with the starport ( seeker missile and cloak) New icons when you upgrade you CC, new icon for scan, extra depot When you drop an extra supply there is a different art than the previous one when it's attached. Edit: Some new sounds for the battlecruiser. | ||

If this is true. This is a welcome change that should have been mentioned. So many annoying observers pinging the map. | ||

You have pylons/supply depos/overlords all around your base for vision and as long as you keep watching your mini map and stuff you should see something popping up... don't see how not having a global sound makes it a coin flipper Say we are playing late game 3 bases vs 3 bases. We are both at 100 supply, i position my army to attack near your main on lost temple, and you position to defend. Instead of attacking I nydus near your third expo and send ~6 banelings. You can't hear it, you didn't spot it since i put it on the side (nydus are not just for attacking main bases), and now all the 24 probes at your third expo are dead. Now i win because you can't replace that amount of workers fast enough. If i stall, i win because time/economy is on my side. If you attack all in we somewhat trade armies and i recuperate faster because of the better economy and I win. Sure there is a place for surprise attacks in starcraft, things like drops and tech switches etc are efficient but still balanced because you can counter them if your scouting skills are sharp enough. But with things like nukes and nydus that can pop out of thin air anywhere on the map, there needs to be a warning system so you don't get totally blindsided. //imo | ||

Can you Yamato your own units? I've never really got BC's against Protoss, but I can see the excess energy could be quite a problem against Templar. | ||
