Project Micro

PLEASE NOTE: This does not contain the same hellion micro as the map does. Also there may be some random changes I've made that I simply cannot remember right now.

The new broodlord, aka flying reaver.
Each broodling requires 10 minerals, press W to train them, you can only queue one at a time but you can stack and fire up to 3 at a time. Broodlings fire at the point not the unit, so you can dodge them.

Just AFK

AI does not know how to stack, sorry

Idea #1: Flak cannon ability

FAQ
How did you do this?
Just a small amount of tweaks to the stats of units/weapons/turrets/etc using Galaxy Editor, no coding or event triggering is used.

I wanted to keep the process as simple and as easy as possible, the less changes the better. The simpler it is, the easier it is for Blizzard to make the change.

What do you aim to achieve by doing this?
Hopefully this will serve as a confidence booster for those who thought that micro would be non-existent in SC2.

I aim to break the communication barrier between SC gamers and Blizzard. After seeing the patch 11 phoenix I realised that maybe we could get the message across better.

Blizzard won't listen to you, this isn't BW
I know it isn't BW but this isn't why I am doing this. I like challenges and this was one of them, it was something I did for fun. It doesn't bother me whether or not this gets implemented in SC2 or not (although it would be pretty cool if it did).
