It's like somewhere in between someones personal opinion on balance and that BW recreated map. I don't see the point. It's this really weird concept, they are trying to make a game that is "fun". Yeah I don't really get it either.

lol Idra really enjoying his lurkers.

loving idra´s starbow stream :DDDD

Played a couple of games in that mode and I have a question. What is the purpose of spreading creep ? The units are not affected at all... Is it just for map control ?

Zerg units heal faster when on creep and it gives you vision.

Are they not? I remember playing briefly and seeing a description that said they got bonus movespeed, but that could have been leftover from normal sc2. Either way, the mapcontol and vision is a huge bonus.

IdrA said he likes the game. He said he would play Crank, and Crank said he wanted to play him, but IdrA backed out today because he wants to practice the game more first. IdrA and Crank showmatch incoming!
Seriously though, someone needs to get a community movement going to have a Flash vs JD showmatch. I volunteer $5, now we just need $995 more or so :D

Guessing Idra will play Terran? He played all 3 races on stream, but was Terran in BW.

Man irradiate seems really really strong.

From the KSL show match right now... damn, smartcast on Science vessels with irradiate... with titan reactor (+25% energy regen). Plus irriadiate does damage faster than in BW (it feels like). So strong -_-;

Yeah I think smart casting should be done away with in Starbow on certain units.
|
I think there's different variables they can change before they would have to remove smartcasting.

Are you guys all forgetting about SC2BW? its a good mod aswell that you guys should check out.
(BTW Starbow is not new.... its been around since 2012.)

SC2BW has several problems, many of the abilities and units simply do not port well into the SC2 engine. Something like SB, which is a remake from scratch with elements from both games is far better imo.

Totalbiscuit didn't forget, it'll be in the SHOUTcraft clan war.
On a separate note, I think better unit ai for scourge somewhat balances out with smartcasted irradiate.

I know that 
I am just telling the people who are focused on/discovering Starbow that if you like the BW stuff... then SC2BW is your cup of tea.

That game was actually seriously exciting imo. Dat one irradiated muta that went back into the clump... :D

Just stick to improving Starbow as a community effort imo.
