would BW units get armor types (light, mech, bio, etc.)?
Side 1: Why no dominant players with 90% win ratio Side 2: Nerf Side 1

no. Siege Tanks in BW were the shit.

Ok wht about making an scenario this might help
There are 6 diferents mathups
For example PvP
Early game, I believe that SC2 have a big advantage because
Stakers are easier to micro thn Goons
Reavers would make a big diferent because they make so much damage in Mid Game and speed shuttle make them extreme powerfull unit with enough micro
Now because sc2 units always stick together Reaver would make even more damage but the stupid scarabs AI mess up everytime when units are to close
When the zealots come in the game I would said that advantage goes to sc2 again because you dont need to surround the enemy, they just do it without micro Lol
Templars fight goes to sc1 because storms are OP
Warp Gate tech .... I really dont know how this affect the balance of this matchup but if you consider that this reduce the building time of units and make them easy to macro this give another advantage to sc2 in late game ...

Small - Light
Large - Armored

Shields would take 100% damage from everything.

At least that makes the most sense to me.

Now that I think about it, BW zerg would be completely screwed against one base banes.

Everything dies so fast in SC2 compared to BW :o , so i have to give the win to SC2.


Sounds like you've never played bw in your life. Irradiate on mutas. Reavers killing 99% of all workers in 1 attack. Storm damage melting HUGE groups of hydras.

The only thing as far as DPS goes that SC2 has is colossus and I'll take 2 reavers in a shuttle over colossus any day.

BW, no contest. There's some custom maps where you can actually use SC1 and SC2 units and it's really not fair at all.

BW units would win, hands down - anyone claiming that SC2 units would win has not played BW enough.

Cracklings from BW have DPS that would shred any SC2 unit army, except something like mass tanks/colossi. On the same note, the SC2 zergling is pathetic compared to the BW original.

Defilers from BW can cast plague; this spell deals 300 damage to all units in a big AoE cloud.

Siege tanks from BW deal 70 damage (un-upgraded) per shot to large units; this is way more than SC2 tanks.

High templar from BW have psionic storms that can deal 110 total damage (instead of 80 like in SC2), plus they can cast 3 times instead of 2 at full energy.

Carriers from BW have 4 armor, and battlecruisers from BW have 3 armor - these would own SC2 units.


BW units win, no contest.



for some reason this post made me want to play BW again. it was glorious.

Err, everyone is talking about the big units and their advantages...
How about starting at the basics, BW SCV's with 60 health...
Terran could Worker rush every sc2 opponent and win hands down.
Do or do not, there is no try

Defilers: Plague
High Templar: Better storms
Dark Archon: Maelstrom
Science Vessel: Irradiate

It wouldn't even be close D;

Plague > SC2 grouping AI

Also it depends, is this just a max army vs max army? Or does it matter how they got there?

such a fun topic.

is it even debatable though.... splash damage has been toned down so much in this game, the only thing that has kept its power is the siege tank. But of course has a supply cost.

i'll take the stalker over the goon. Goon did more damage and was tougher but

seriously though reavers and lurkers i would take any day over baneling / colossus. plaguuuu, dark swarm against portoss .. oh man makes me salivate.

Yeah I am pretty sure a plague from BW could cover an entire 200/200 terran army in SC2.

I'm note sure anything in BW could make it to the late game with Marauders in.
