EPT7 races seems like too much, but from a casual and fun perspective, they seems all nice and with unique identity.
So congratz !

I also think many of the changes, such as keeping casters back in battles, Siege Tanks overkilling targets, ect... are sorely needed in SC2. Good work.

I'm hoping that Blizzard will use some of the stuff from this mod to make the base game better. Or that this mod will overtake the base game (unlikely, but would be cool). Counterstrike started as a mod for Half-Life too. I feel honored to play have both of those gems from the very beginning. | ||

Btw, i still like the idea of Collosus beam line but i don't like the flame part. At this stage the mod is not about balance aka OP stuff, but fun - enjoyment.  | ||

Maybe bronze and silver league players will enjoy this game but I did not come to sc2 to wait - and wait... and wait. It's not my thing. That's one key difference between this mod and normal LotV: LotV is fun to watch but not necessarily fun to play. This mod is surprisingly fun to play but not that exciting to watch yet (since the meta doesn't even exist yet, and we really don't know what good play looks like). There's a lot of games that aren't very fun to watch but are fun to play. Sometimes, the fun to play part overpowers the unfun to watch part and makes the game popular even on Twitch (Minecraft comes to mind). --- I like a lot of the ideas in this mod: 1. I like the faster siege toggle upgrade for siege tanks. Instead of a total to 6 seconds to undeploy and redeploy, you can cut it down to 3 seconds. This is close to how flying tanks work right now (siege tanks dropped on the ground can't fire for 2 seconds). This feels a lot better than flying tanks while still achieving a similar purpose (more mobile siege tanks). 2. I also like cloaked dropships, and I feel that the medivac's speed boost should be removed and replaced with a temporary cloaking device. Cloaking lets you get in and out, just like speed boost, but the difference is that if the enemy has detection, you're not getting out, whereas with speed boost, it doesn't matter what they have as you're getting away anyway unless they have overwhelming defenses. 3. Battlecruisers that fire while moving and use both weapons at the same time (like the campaign goliath) are a very good idea. This solves the issue of BCs getting constantly kited without giving them a speed buff that might make them too good. Also, the ability to shoot ground and air at the same time improves their DPS without directly buffing the numbers. 4. The absence of macro mechanics is wonderful. I was on the side of no macro mechanics back in the LotV beta, and the game feels smoother and more comfortable to play. 5. I love the day/night cycle, and I like how it's shorter than DotA's (4 minutes of day/4 minutes of night). Starcraft games are significantly shorter than DotA games, so the standard cycle might not fit well. However, I don't like how you impose penalties on certain races based on the time of day. I would prefer everyone have a unique bonus for day and night. Regardless, having specific bonuses for time of day feels more natural to me, as you can go macro during your faction's weak time and then attack when they're stronger (Raynor's Raiders are slower during the day but faster at night). 6. In general, it seems like you went with a fun to play, easy to learn, and hard to master route. | ||

The slow start with 6 workers gave normal people time to talk to their opponent and to come up with a strategy and to control their early scout. This 12 worker start throws all that social interaction out the window. The changes to make the game more clicky makes it suicide to try and talk to your opponent at any time. This is how I see it. We'll have to agree to disagree. | ||
