How much excitement could a squad of Tauren Marines add to a Jaedong vs Hwasin blood fest? "Hwasin's vultures make it past the hydra grouping, now it's just a home stretch to the drone line- oops, they're taken out by creeps. Never mind." Would id be interesting from the spectators point of view? Yes. Would it be interesting from the players' point of view? No. In the situation you described Hwasin is robbed of his win. He put effort, resources, and planning into that move and he got screw over by AI controlled creeps. How is that fucking fair for him? He could have won the game with that move, or crippled Jaedong's economy even a little bit giving him the edge. That's like a "get away from loss for free" card for Jaedong. | ||

I wasn't asking about normal games Then your question is equivalent to, "Will I be able to add neutral creeps to custom maps in the map editor". I'm not 100% sure, but it's very likely you will be able to do so. The closest thing to creeps you'll get in normal multiplayer maps will be critters, such as Kakaru and Ursadon, with low health and no attacks or abilities. | ||

I'm sure they will have neutral units in the map editor but I gurantee they wont be anywhere in the normal game. They have also said they will have all the old units from the original sc/bw (goliath, firebat, etc) in the map editor but not the game. | ||

Imagine a map where theres an island expansion with yellow minerals, but to get it you need to drop there and kill a powerfull neutral ultralisk, its not something that will detract you from your strategy anymore than rocks in the middle of the CC spot would. but instead of considering the possibilities, people are like "ZOMFGTWTFND WAR3 NOOBSIHT" | ||

"Creeps" have a place in the campaign/UMS. I suspect most of them will consist of terran pirates, "lost" zerg (like those obsolete zerg on Aiur) and maybe a few "attack critters" (eg ursadons, bengalaas and scantids could plausibly be able to attack in some maps). I would suspect that "attack" scantids, for instance, would be a "clone" of the scantid unit but with different AI, so you coudl choose which to use in a scenario. (Otherwise desert maps would kind of stuck.) It doesn't matter if heroes don't gain levels in the campaign, as the "creeps" would be there for plot or flavor reasons, not to make your heroes more powerful. Honestly I miss the Firebat. I think they ought to replace the Reaper's silly Halo dual wielding pistols (I guess in SC1 you had guys with rifles shooting down gigantic space cruisers...and hydras squirting on tanks) with the Firebat's flamethrowers, but anyway as that's out of the question would units like the Firebat, and "neutral" flavor units, be in the game at all? Has anything been said or shown? They've been confirmed to be in Wings of Liberty. In the campaign, after the third mission, you have a choice of two missions to take. One of them gives firebats, and one of them gives marauders. I'm not sure if you can choose to do both missions, though, but firebats have been confirmed to be in the game multiple times. (Along with Wraiths, goliaths and vultures.) I don't know if all StarCraft I units will be in the map editor. I don't think I've actually seen Blizzard say that anywhere. Anyone have the reference for that? | ||

I like how you took exactly what he said and re-stated exactly the same thing he wrote, as if people didn't understand his point | ||

Map makers had a lot of models to play around in WAR3 because there were 4 races and many, many neutral creeps for each one of the tilesets... SC2 has 3 races and no neutral creeps. I'm just hoping they really add a LOT of models we can choose from. | ||

Not sure also, someone need to confirm this to us. | ||
