Well IIRC people whined a lot about this artstyle because it looked too WoWish.

Personally I liked this more colorful style but people seem to go in a rage if it looks anything remotely similar to WoW.

I loved the concept of the Nomad! Sad he didn't make it. Well, the raven is sort of "nomadish" I guess^^

One way to check out how matchups used to sort of work internally, is to take a look at the battle reports they made.

For anyone who hasn't seen them, here is the first:

Immortal gateway unit? I would love to see that lmao


Actually, there was an exploit/hack in the beta which allowed people to build immortals out of gateways. If I recall correctly, the problem was that back then blizzard had only removed the gateway button for immortals but not the ability to build them.

Here is the thread about warping in immortals:

the battle reports were cool, 1 warpgate warp in as much as you can afford. But to bad the dark pylon was seriously overpowered, some players could need the more buff version for their artosis pylons. I am quiet happy they changed the bunker model though.

Looks so much better now. It just shows that Blizzard will play with tons of concepts before they actually happy to release the final product. That's why their games are so good at release.

Main use of the dark pylon was to increase mineral gathering rate of probes nearby for a short time, before chronoboost was added.

They did a great job on updating the models IMO
good vibes only

That was after the game had been released.

All references to the warping in had been removed from the UI however through "hacking" (Hex Edit or package sending or something I believe) you were able to call the warp in immortal command which was still in the code. So basically all that was missing was the buttons and keybind for it.

All i know is if I could build immortals out of my gateway the game would be a lot better.

The shaders of SC2 Alpha for some reason, really, really, hurt my eyes and it looks like playing on that kind of shading is hell.

Or else I'm just too used to SC2's graphics on low.

The zerg and terran stuff look so much better, even though they look "older" graphic-wise.

What's a "Dark Pylon"? Sounds nifty


Search for "Bread". Play one of the custom maps "Outpost (Bread)" is updated.

Play Protoss and you can build the Dark Pylon!

A Dark Pylon is basically like a Shield Battery, with Proton Charge (basically it was the macro mechanic for Protoss, it makes probes gain +1 minerals while mining), Argus Link (basically Shield Battery except for casters) and finally Null Shield (Cloaks a target... including Motherships!!!). (That would have made Mothership rushes even more epic.)

There were several incarnations of the Dark Pylon. One version of the Dark Pylon used to have the ability to cloak structures nearby (Photon Cannons should stay cloaked until it attacked).

The version in the Bread custom map only has Argus Link (Shield Battery for casters), Shield Regen field, and Proton Charge (so alas, no cloaking structures).

(Got to admit though, building a Dark Pylon in some odd place in the map and building a ton of cloaked gateways would have been epic.)

hopefully they tweak the look of the warhound like they tweaked the look of some of the beta models.

Wasn't a hack, that was just the way it was. Look at Battle Report 3 done by Dustin and Rob Simpson on youtube.
