1: Will there be ways to watch replays from previous patches without them being corrupt? 2: Currently in Starcraft: Brood War, when two people from the same LAN connection are trying to play battle.net games together, there are a lot of latency issues, or intense lag in the games. Will there be support for siblings/roommates/friends playing on the same router to play, without confliction? 3: Karune, why wont you return my calls  ? | ||

What's the grid system for buildings/units going to be like? In sc1 the maps are made up of discrete unit squares. For instance, u can easily make gateways in perfect rows. I'm not sure if this was intentional, or the best they could do for the time, but in sc2 will the maps be 'continuous' (ie. build anywhere), or will the squares be smaller, or the same? | ||

Q&A Batch 11 Map sizes can fluctuate on a per-map basis, but generally the playable area on maps are about the same. The terrain cells were converted over into the new editor to proportionally match the original StarCraft (i.e. 128x128 SC1 is about the same as 128x128 in SC2 ). If you think about it 'continuous building' would still be based on a grid system, the only difference is the relative size of the cells would be so small the placement would seem like you could place a building much closer to any edge and in any configuration, or as you put it 'continuous building'. Based on the way range is described though for units, it seems those ranges represent cells. Working from that premise, unless they have a separate grid system composed of much tinier cells building placement will probably be constrained in a way nearly identical to SC1. | ||

for what reasons does a player choose to utilise the hydralisk over the mutalisk/corruptor option for anti-air? is the hydralisk's anti-air capabilities inherently inferior against anything except arguably in deterring the use of air-to-air units on overlords? and only made it up for by the option of earlier lurkers presented by teching hydralisk first? with the popularity of iccup, in what degree has blizzard explored incorporating the name into its bnet ladder play (and possibly online ranking system)? or what measures has blizzard explored to deter the popularity of iccup if they manage to create an easy to use interface for setting up game matchups without players needing a legitimate copy of SC2? *highly doubt there'll be an answer for this even if its submitted but can't know if i don't ask | ||

Yes there is, WC3 has it so SC2 will have it too. Not ingame but just txt file which you can copy to your computer you use. | ||

problem of 3d is that it quickly becomes confused for your eyes, you are slower to distinguish an unit from another on the battlefield, that's pure visual shit for the final version of the game, is there any plan to make units with maybe less details, simpler to recognize (decent design difference for all of them), less stacked on the screen, to solve this important problem ? | ||

he has legs while protoss can easily fly (useless details), his line attack animation suck, the continuous attack was really amazing as it was presented at the 1e blizzcon an idea for example, is to rename the colossus with the name of a previous unit you chose to remove "soul reaper", make it an air unit spell caster with no attack, few hp, and with the double ability of slowly inhale life points of enemies organic units with why not a kind of blue ray, and transform it into mana points that this unit is able to give to others nearby spell caster, a sort of air battery fed with enemies troops (i saw it in some films) given that protoss have their splash air-ground-only killer unit, why create a similar unit for terran (banshee) except maybe their cloak option but these 2 units remain similar terran already got enough crowd control (m&m, tanks splash, firebats, battlecruiser lasers ability) and against peon they even have the reapers who climb up instantly most of the cliffs, the mobile turret ability of the nomads, and for middle / late game the super mobile vikings make banshee an air-air unit or dunno, don't assign to every units the same role | ||
