They can play on the lowest blandest settings they want for competitive reasons, while the spectator can see it in Ultrahigh customized whachamacallit. This is already the case. That's the beauty of it, literally. =) | ||

The light angle is functional both for players and spectators. If if you have crappy circle black shadows, the position would still be accurate with this configuration. I'm looking right now at hero stream. He play in low, as most pro players. Don't get me wrong, i love your idea ^^ | ||

NOTE: I am NOT suggesting day/night cycle. Battles and environments feel fake when that is introduced. We want a game to feel like it's happening in real time, which wouldn't really change given the average SC2 game length. So how about real time day/night settings? Have the sun set in game as it sets irl, corresponding to the timezone of the server you are on  I wouldnt mind some day/night mechanics either, but obviously then it would have to be separate from the actual time. | ||

Just because it isnt all sandy dunes does not mean its not a desert. The idea looks really good! Hopefully we can se eosmething implemented like this but it might be too impractical to do. | ||

Is there a way for users to create custom tile sets? I feel like this would be the best way to utilize the artistic abilities of the community. | ||
