Played a few games of this today... and I'm in love. It's really really fun trying out some of the old builds I used to use (3 hatch lurker aww yeah). I hope it gets a ladder system for sure.

I do prefer hellions over vultures (because lining them up-micro), medivacs over medics (because scarier drops) and anything else over reavers (because silly unit), but disregarding these nostalgia novelties, this is a great mod. Really hope to see TB cast more of it. : D

made a robo in a match expecting to be able to counter roaches with immortals... no immortals...

Anyway, definitely not sc2 enough for me. I wish you luck, however!

This looks fun, but with no ladder system/ranking system it won't get much attention I don't think. Unless tournaments and all that start popping up.
There are things known, and things unknown, and in-between are the doors.

it is fun, and theres clearly been genuine care and effort poured into it. for now im just content to uncover all the little intricacies and increased micro capabilities this mods got to offer, i don't really care if there's no ranking system. and i hope yall are too cuz i need people to play against x)

I am with you.

Vultures are great in TvP, they are more interesting for early game etc. but hellions are just much better than vultures in TvZ and the potential of BBQ roast is always exciting.

I feel terran overall is just less fun to play, less multi prone drops potential but more vulture runbys and dropping mines.
TvZ especially is just lacking the HOTS cut throat mechanics engagement and more reliance on spells from science vessel etc.
that's not the say the race is worse to play, i love the new BCs and vultures are great, banshee is awesome, TvP is great.
But TvT and TvZ?
I won't really call it better.
Maybe it's also due to speedlings are much much slower and making lings runby not as deadly as they should be.

played a few games. What I noticed:

Losing in starbow is fun, wheras winning in sc2 is still stressful and not that fun. Good mod! Finally a playerbase too.
Can we help spread the word and create pressure to get Rob Pardo to replace Browder as head of Sc2? Pardo led the team for broodwar, frozen throne, and wow/BC. We need to make this a thing before LotV development starts. Think about it.

Right now a large patch with bug fixes is being worked on. The game is still in beta. The balance needs to be more explored before any further changes.

No doubt TvZ is incredible in HOTS at what it does, but I think it may lack some variety (diferent types of unit compositions). So I see the Sbow selling point as:

- More entertaining vs TvP, ZvP.
- More variety in TvZ.


I feel terran overall is just less fun to play, less multi prone drops potential but more vulture runbys and dropping mines.


Hmm, I in terms of multipronged harass, you don't really drop in HOTS TvZ untill the later stages of the game. In that regard, Sbow isn't really different in TvZ. TvP bio works a bit differently bio as you (probably) don't want to rush for medivacs in that mathcup. But post 13/14th minute mark dropships have the potential to be more effective than in HOTS due to weaker warptech/mothercore.

Mech mathcups are actually very dropable both vs protoss and zerg. But you need to get rid of the Muta-threat before you start dropping.

Just a couple of issues I noticed:
Dark Swarm is too dim and can be pretty hard to see.
The scourge model can be quite confusing to differentiate from banelings on creep.
The creep spread mechanic is a very good element from sc2 imo, could there be other ways to encourage it? maybe a smaller speed boost?

I think it's great but why do you Spider mines shoot like WMs? They also seem to be really weak and they take a bit too long to activate.
And as someone else stated, dark swarm doesn't stand out enough and even plague is a bit too light.
