StarCraft+ is a mod which makes several additions and changes to SC2 in hopes to reach the following goals:
Bring back many of the classic units from Brood War / WoL campaign.
Fix existing gameplay problems of SC2.
Maintain a level of balance capable of supporting high-level play, but also making casual play more fair.
After going through two major versions, I finally feel like the current one is stable and balanced enough for widespread use, so here it is.
How to Play
Maps are available on Battle.net's US servers. If someone from Europe / SE Asia wants to be my friend, I'd like to also support this mod in other regions. Maps on US:
Arakan Citadel Plus (6)
Gaia Plus (4)
Megaton Plus (8)
Modern Warfare Plus (2) (Map credit to monkh)
SCPTestMap (2) (cheating is allowed, use only if you want to play around and experiment. Also, this goes offline a lot, so don't be sad if it's not there)
Major changes from SC2
Cliff levels do something now. Units on higher cliff levels do more damage to units on lower cliff levels and vice versa.
Many spells have had their smartcast disabled, and in return, have become more powerful. Many more spells have been added, especially to the late-game.
Terran's ability to mass-produce has been curbed significantly. They must now make use of their technology - not their numbers - to win battles.
Terran have Firebats, Medics, Vultures (and Spider Mines), Goliaths, Wraiths, and Science Vessels. Only the Reaper and the Hellion were removed.
Zerg have Hydralisks at tier 1, Defilers, Scourge, Lurkers, and Mutalisks that morph into either Corruptors or Brood Lords.
Protoss technology gets significantly better. Phoenix have Overload and Disruption Web, Arbiters can be built, High Templars and Archons are more useful, and the Dark Shrine comes with a reverse-scanner-sweep ability that cloaks all friendly units in a mid-sized radius.
The full developer changelist (which is either current or an advance copy of the next version) can be found here.
I'm currently trying to get some good games to show off a lot of these features in a video. If you and your friends have any awesome, exciting matchups, I encourage you to share the replays with everyone!
If you find anything un-fun, buggy, or imbalanced, don't hesitate to criticize. This mod will stay updated throughout SC2's lifetime. Your ideas are important to me, and your suggestions could make it into future versions. Above all else, I hope this mod is a lot of fun. Enjoy!
