EPTMany of these units are designed to be either hardcounters, defeat the defenders advantage, or have the same role as their bw counterpart. with some sc2 units we have found a decent place to put them in. Others cause just so much trouble and need "special rules" to fit. Anyway we are trying our best to not remove these units and to find a decent role and place for sc2 units and abilities.

Some bugs snuck in the patch earlier today, so I hopefully fixed everything now plus some other bugs from earlier patches. - Fixed Optical flare missile and graphic bugs. Added new icon + description. - Spider mines can not deal damage to units within transports. - Flying Barrack, Factory and Starport can no longer build Reactors. - Nerve Jammer now works properly. - The circle of Scanner sweep now represents the actual area of detection - Stasis field no longer affects Spider mines or Larvae. - Inject larva energy cost + tooltip - Baneling nest removed from Drone - Zergling button description changed so it does not mention Baneling anymore - Observers upgrade for speed boost + ability renamed - Fixed the description and button of Phase shield - Removed Marauder from the Barrack button description - Fixed Barrack Tech lab description - Missile turrets now deal the proper attack damage vs all armor types. - Nurturing Swarm now works properly And of course, Decemberscalm found a way to make Nurturing Swarm work, which was a big headache! | ||

You should change the guardian into the broodlord though, the broodlord is a much cooler, more zergy unit. | ||

Starbow has a unique pathing system to allow units to spread out more faster and form a line quicker when moving over greater distances. This allows for a better natural defenders advantage and makes "a-move" less effective than good army control. However, swarms of free units will mess up this pathing system a lot more in Starbow than in SC2 and hence be bad for the game in my opinion. | ||

I hope this gets more and more attention and starts having large tournaments, at this point its obvious blizzard won't do the correct thing and the community has to take charge. Keep up the good work. There is a chance that when two very great players play against each other, it can be seen as a game with not many choices and a slow gameplay. Not saying it has happened to starbow but look at sc2 hots. When two great players play. Not many strategies work. Many units are bad. Many hardcounters. Compare to lesser player, the gameplay can seem more open | ||

Compare to lesser player, the gameplay can seem more open In Sc2hots such games are not about great players only but that the game is really figured out after all these years. Players are all using what are believed best possible strategies. | ||

It cost 150 energy to spawn 2 broodlings that could barely kill a marine. They weren't even used often from what I've seen just vs Mech to kill tanks and that wasn't even the broodlings but the spell straight up killing a tank *and* tanks splash hitting the other tanks around the broodlings. | ||

Heh and now you are defending free units because they were too weak. Being strong is not part of being free unit. Saying free unit is bad design is just a poor insight and a lack of understanding on unit innovative concept | ||

I believe that its a terrible design and does not belong in Starcraft. The broodlings aren't free units they cost 150 energy on your Queen and did NOTHING other than kill one unit straight up. Using spawn broodlings put your Queen out of battle for quite some time to regen that energy. | ||

Also again, strength of the free unit doesn't not change what it is, a free unit. Not to mention by your logic, infested terran wasn't a problem when they receive range and armor upgrades in wol. Do you think broodlings or locust would be fine if they can't attack and move and cost mana? | ||
