Sounds a lot like BW when you fight something like lurkers. Just manually spread your army apart. | ||

These are freaking mindless attacking aliens. The AI in BW, while not the greatest, was much better in general. I don't want my zerglings to all instantly die to a storm just because they love to running shoulder to shoulder. Zerglings running in tight formations makes perfect sense lore wise. After all, Zerglings are only mindless because they are entirely controlled by Kerrigan and her Zerebrates, so it makes sense for them to move in perfect unison. | ||

I do think the wings on the lings make them too shiny and hard to counter/look at | ||

"not if u abuse storms/emp/hunter seeker missles/other splash dmg/aoe atks..." that only works on ramps and tight spaces - and besides zerg has infestors aoe and banelings so no one has an advantage... i personally LOVE clump cuz it leads to terrible damage and epic eye candy | ||

My concern really isn't so much the effectiveness of AoE attacks, which as previously pointed out is something that would be addressed by micromanagement, but rather the spectator issue that it causes. Even at high definition, I've been finding it very difficult to keep track of unit counts and battles simply because everything is so much more compact and seemingly chaotic. Of course there are other things that are factoring into this such as the color schemes and the fact that the graphics are 3D as opposed to 2D, but I really must say that it does bother me as a spectator. Maybe my eyes are just not used to it yet, but I feel that the issue goes a bit beyond just that and I do hope Blizzard does something to at least make distinguishing unit types and counts a bit easier. | ||

Now that things are a much higher resolution the amount of screen you can see is huge in comparison to BW, where everything is low resolution and fat as hell. As such I find that even huge armies aren't intimidating as say when 4 protoss control groups cruise onto your screen in BW. The sense of scale is definitely a little whack, but I think it's something we'll adapt to over time. Not to mention that right now every game is fairly low econ compared to what I assume we'll be seeing in the coming months as people optimize macro builds and start figuring the game out, because it's definitely not like wc3 where its all about micro. It's just right now no one knows how to macro yet. | ||
