VIB, that kind of people are NOT interested in e-sports, and they do NOT keep it alive in ANY way. Just look at the official cesspool.

I am sorry if you answered this already, but is the targeting AI the same as SC?

For example, units would ignore workers and go after the attacking units, due to some sort of priority. Also this is what made muta/ling work as well, since mutas were higher than zerglings.

"Changes like resources being spent the moment you command a worker to build a building instead of when it actually starts the construction is just great and really smoothes out gameflow and removes little annoyances for alot of players."

i disagree, haveing loss of minerals only once the worker starts constructing, helps in endgame building where you have a strong economy going - and can build say, 10 turrets/cannons whatever, even though you can't afford it at the moment you ordered the construction, the money will be there once the scv reaches build location.

I don't see how one can find this annoying..

But it pretty much has to be there, otherwise you can just queue up infinite supply depots without having to pay anything until they actually build :D

I thought the same as you did until somuchbetter pointed this out to me.

Mighty post. Awesome info in here. Sets my mind at ease (slightly) about the surround AI. I'm not very confident that SC2 will ever have anything like the macro requirements SC though. You cannot replicate that engine in a mainstream game these days. It all depends on what new mechanics they can cook up.

btw. Sheesh. Is it really that hard to read a long post? O_o. Its about SC2! Make it longer! ^^

You read it wrong, in sc the resources it takes to build a building is not spent untill the construction starts so if you accidentally spend it on something else you get an error message instead of a building. Now that can't happen.

Also at above, queing structures is no different than queing units.

It was on msn, but basically if you aren't charged the instant you place a building (in sc you are charged only when the worker actually reaches the construction site) then you can queue an infinite number of buildings.

With the current system (insta charge as soon as you click place), you can only queue 10 supply depots if you have 1000 minerals.

Yes, FA, and that money can obviously be spent elsewhere. I think that's good. It's be lame if you could just spam the Depots while other races can't. T_____T

what?I didnt got it...
this "building queue" means that you can order a worker to build (for example) one depot and then after finish, automatically build another building since you have the enough resources?
I've got a point, and i'm ready to kill or die for it.

No, as someone said it's basically like queuing up units at a barracks, Saves time but wastes resources. It shouldn't affect high level play at all really.

Is there spell queuing? As in, for mm, move somewhere => shift T (to stim) causing the marines to stim once they've reached the move location? Or does it work like SC where you can't queue up abilities? This would make it too easy for temps or other spell casters to spread out storms. Being able to shift-click storm locations would remove so much micro/multitasking since you could just choose 1 temp and shift-T to storm like 3 different spots on one chained command.
