That's like saying if I zergling rush you it's such a travesty because you HAVE to micro your workers to get out even against my lings. Actually with a ling rush (4/6 pool), both the Zerg and his opponent have to micro appropriately. The Zerg has a slight advantage due to quality of units, but overall both players have to invest a similar amount of effort and it's not even close to the Banelings vs any light unit scenario. The Baneling example only demonstrates the flaws of units straight up "countering" one another. A unit in and of itself should confer only a very slight strategic advantage over an inferior composition, with units designed in a way that the player can build onto that small advantage OR fail to utilize the advantage completely depending on how good/bad his control is relative to his opponent's. | ||

A good Zerg player won't just a-move their Banelings, they have to split their Banelings to ensure they don't all die to splash damage from Siege Tanks (if Siege Tanks are present), they have to make sure to target fire their Banelings onto clumps of Marines so that they're as cost-effective as possible, and they have to make sure that their Banelings don't explode on Siege Tanks/Marauders since that's horribly cost inefficient. To say that Banelings are an a-move unit shows that you have a horrible understanding of SC2. The work which the defender has to do is "frantic rearrangement of his entire army into different spots" and the work which the attacker has to put into it is "leisurely sending his 3-4 groups of Banelings (you did remember to split them up beforehand, right?) to different areas of the battlefield on an a-move". That difference should be easy to see and if you are the kind of "APM spammer" on the attack then you are putting more work into it than you actually need to. APM should be used to push against the resistance of the unit / pathing to squeeze out a little extra 5-10% efficiency and not as a "you didnt look and babysit your units so you are dead now" method. That second SC2 version of doing things is not fun at all. | ||

Lurkers vs zealots would beg to differ. You really can't do much against a decent lurker field even if you have multiple control groups of zealots and split them up nicely. | ||

That is what a lot of BW players always wanted,is just for a remake of BW in an engine like SC2's. You have to have never played Broodwar to not understand this concept. This obviously answers my question about why this thread is here instead of the custom map section. | ||

Dangthatsright probably hit the nail on the head: the mod needed a little more publicity. We at OneGoal may do something similar if we gain a little bit more of a substantial following. Publicity is the business, my friend  | ||

Hm, this question has already been asked and answered several times already: Well, even disregarding the SC2BW part of LaLuSh's post, it still includes informative and interesting information on different aspects of SC2. That is plenty enough reason to put it in the SC2 General section. | ||

And as I already said, it wasn't done for the purpose of improving SC2, in the same way that information was presented in the past, but rather to promote a completely different game from SC2. And either way, the discussion in this thread hasn't been about the 'different aspects of SC2" even if that's what the OP is about(which it isn't), it's entirely about this mod: finding matches for it, watching matches of it, talking about problems with it. | ||

It's a big deal why? It's definitely not broodwar and only people playing starcraft 2 will be able to play this mod anyways, so it stays here. | ||
