absolutely disagree - is Quake a 'less strategic' game than CS because it's more mechanically demanding?

It's the general consensus that BW has more units and game mechanics that reward great positioning, which is essentially the basis of strategy - certain parts of the map, you want to have control of more, which allows you to build your game plan around.

Well, polt is one of the best players in the history of sc2 despite having relatively weak mechanics.
Would he have been equally succesful in BW?
If the answer to that question is no then artosis is right.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

I was really surprised to see this article, but I think it just boils down to how you define "strategy". Comparing the games like that though is quite odd. And if Starbow has done anything, it is to show that BW is still very strategic even if you remove all the mundane mechanical tasks.
aka KanBan85. Working on Starbow.

This graph is so deep. It perfectly captures the exponential increase in forcefields through energy regeneration per sentry, balanced off by the logarithmic players incapability to use all that power. It's beautiful!

I think that any time a great game is boiled down to mechanics or technical ability an enormous amount of the game is completely overlooked. In fact I'd almost say that the more mechanical the game the more strategy involved, see basically any vod of tasteless playing starbow and explaining whats going on, or for a pro game check out boxer vs hiya

I think in sc2 strategy is more impactful than in BW because the impact of perfect execution is lower. But that does not mean sc2 is more strategic, it just seems this way since execution is less important. Well I think the graph explains what I mean .


I would like to expound on your graph, if I may, by using the parable of the Artosis the Struggling Blogger and the Door of Viewcount.

it's just protoss. protoss is more strategic, and it always was extremely strategic. protoss in bw involved the most strategy, and it's not going to be any easier in the final installation of sc2. the fact that protosis sees the game differently is a testament to protoss and its ability to reform players. most grandmaster level randoms from the bw era onward have acknowledged at one point or another that protoss is not at all easy. whether by design or incidentally protoss is really hard and forces some incredibly creative plays.

No.
Brood War has a higher mechanical skill floor. That doesn't mean that it has a lower strategic skill ceiling, or floor.
