I'm remaking a classic from SC1 for SC2.

Recommended players: 2 [1v1] or 4 [2v2]

Some details:

  • Buy attacker armies at the top left corner of the map. Each individual unit purchase creates an army of that unit. These units will automatically attack toward the enemy's life crystal.
  • Buy defensive structures and heroes at your Life Crystal. In addition to minerals, these special units require vespene gas.
  • Mineral count increases automatically. To fasten the pace of game as time goes by, income and vespene gas increases as you kill more units.
  • For more convenient purchasing, hotkeys are initiated at the start for each player. [1-4] are for buying attacker armies while [w] is the life crystal.
  • You can still play with/computers by adding AI for a player slot. The AI just makes random units so don't expect it to be any good.

    @Ideo

    I'm open to suggestions like balance, glitches, fixes, and stuff.

    The GM's of HOTS communicate, directly or indirectly, with the Admins regarding balance. I don't see what's to be offended about here. Very excited to see what he has in store for us, just trying to help him out to be honest.

    @pheonix suggestion you failed to acknowledge the one thing pheonix has that nothing else does... speed you aren't using them right their range is very high and they are crazy reaper fast send them last as air aa support and watch your opponent waste 600 mins in ghosts that never get a hit in

    @ all the other suggestions wait til you guys see the update he has made for us before flooding the place with suggestions that quite likely will become irrelevant. when someone says they have something cool for you. you dont ask what it is you say thank you and politely hold out your hand. if someone gives you a handmade sweater you dont "suggest" they go make you some matching socks.

    Well Pheonix needs a huge buff they lose to all air, including banshees.

    THIS

    Timed Aggro Mode as an option. The current mechanics of Aggro and Tug elude most of us anyway, and I haven't met a person yet who can differentiate between them. I honestly think this alone would breathe new life into the game.

    However more pressing matters persist in the mechanics of battlecraft. Air units need some overhauling, and we need more AA unit variety. A slight nerf on viking range among other things might balance the scale a bit.

    Keep in mind ppl these changes are very slight, and will not affect general play aside from the viability of light air units!!!

    • Basic improvements:
    • Dark Templar - Cost reduced to 250 minerals.
    • Aberration - Cost reduced to 300 minerals.
    • Corruptor - Cost reduced to 325 minerals.
    • Phoenix - Cost reduced to 275 minerals.
    • Mutalisk - Cost reduced to 275 minerals.
    • Wraith - Cost reduced to 275 minerals.
    • Suggested Buffs and Nerfs:
    • Infested Terran - Increase max damage & debuff radius from 8 to 9
    • High Templar - Increased crit chance from 10% to 15%
    • Ultralisk - Increased life from 400 to 450
    • Guardian - Increased life from 400 to 450
    • Viking - Decreased Lanzer Torpedoes range from 12 to 11
    • Queen - Increased Acid Spines range from 7 to 8 (we really need a serious AA alternative to viks)
    • Disruptor - Increased attack range from 6 to 7 (Another potential AA beast with a slight yet significant buff)

    I tried to keep things as basic and unobtrusive as possible, while addressing important master-level balance issues. Thanks for any consideration.

    noone ever does this to me but whenever i see any player try it out a couple quick pauses will make em loose track of time

    To take out the disruptor trick (where at the end of the round they suicide at the last second having broodlings at your pylon, and they spawn and kill your pylon during the 10 second down time imbetween rounds)

    You should add a Nuke during that period. 1 nuke that radius covers the whole map, take out the animation and there you go. no more cheating with disruptors.

    not gonna lie it took me far longer to find this thread after hearing about it in game than I care to admit hah.

    Had to read about a possible update though! I 100% emphatically vote for the return of a timed aggro. These saved up side-attack games are getting ridiculously boring, new units would do little to fix. I miss the days of learning different tiers of counters, the skill level was much higher. Keep terrazine though, love that shit.

    Ratings reset would be good too. Ideophobe/iiCarly know what's up.

    @WINNING - I vote no to quick minerals :P although it does make for a quick double marine apoc beast send.
