In EMT training I was taught this, practice does NOT make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
this directly applies to your SC2 game, i dont know if its old or not, but still. ive been trying to step up my game
with micro.
Ive read posts about how hp is lower on SC2 across the board, which should make micro much more difficult and games quicker.
How do you practice things like moving injured units to the back? ive noticed that a lot of the time in that motion the unit
is killed because it turned around, what are some ways I can improve my combat micro game. I am good with macro, just not micro yet.
I suspect that some good modders will make a balanced game which includes Blizzard's good ideas in BW and excludes their lousy ones in WOL.
I think this may be so enjoyable we will see a desire for a ladder on it. The reason is after playing so much SC2, and BW (and watching matches at WCG) I have noticed that BW had much more brootalness to it.
1. The Hydra's weren't laughable
2. The infested terran wasn't a critter
3. zerg had their own version of EMP.
Im not raging about imbalances or anything, SC2 is what it is, but if blizzard doesn't make an official alternative mode, a custom version may become so desirable that it may take attention away from normal xvx matches.
imagine BW with roaches, or SC2 with vultures. the mix of the two would be spectacular and since all the original units will be in the map editor, i feel that unless phase 2 and fe brings something interesting to the table, such a mode may become superior, as Blizz has failed in a lot of respects to please the older fans.
can't wait, and after so many replays with all these hard counter mechanics, some edge would be nice even if its just a custom mode. I may just be speaking for myself, but if my little zerg swarm had a lurker, or my mech build had some gollie with their thor, it would be much more interesting.
@sixen:
im getting a subtone that you don't agree with hacked launchers? considering beta costs nothing it lacks even a the slightest hint of indecency to use them.
im not sure if that is what you were implying or not, but as beta is down I would still like to play SC2, since blizz didn't make this an option, i feel its fair to make it so myself. i do after all have all the files from a legit beta download. Don't know if thats what u meant, but blizz does have some free PR fanboys scampering around who rage at the idea of thinking differently than their precious company, im sure u have encountered a few.
@PrivateTickles:
Indeed it does, it just doesnt have map reveal. so it actually is impossible, ive been stressing about it. I watch so many replays and no matter what strat I can't beat this AI, (Strategy ai .42) its widely available so u can google it.
If i knew ppl that played this i would just practice with lan, since the local bnet mimic is out now in case blizz doenst allow lan.
I beat the default SCALLIN1 on hard np.
but in ZvT I have no idea how to beat it Scrap Station. I've tried 6pool cheese, actual builds, etc. but they seem to always destroy me
even after I have ravaged their mineral line.
what is weird is it says semi-noncheating, and full cheating is easier to beat.
i have noticed that when i 6pool they usually have a lot and 2 pylons, i think this AI still receives a mineral cheat, but maybe not vision.
I can not find any information on this AI at all.
Anyone else here succeed in a ZvP? if so what build did u use?
For those who don't know, this AI uses hard counters immediately.
@Vexal:
Why, thanks that worked. but for people who, say, made a design in a corner, crop would be a professional option. This did work splendidly however, thanks
@Vexal:
like in image software, it cuts out the inverse.
If I only like the middle of the map, crop would cut out the rest of the map and resize it. deleting all other terrain,
thanks for that info tho, I didn;t know that
@EternalWraith:
Ah, u misread. I had asked if you KNEW of one. I did not ask anyone to Create anything.
To varify, hit CTRL+F and type "create" or any synonym and you will see that you are the first to mention the word.
I did say not to "ask" me to make one, as I do not know how to, there are lots of threads for you to post un-helpful replies to, so plz not this one
kthnx.
lol. good start for an important thread huh?
okay, I need good AI for offline. Im sick of cheating AI because its predictable now, so I want a different AI.
One that likes to 6pool or something.
Also, I don't know, but after watching so many replays I decided after I finish this ever insanely difficult (for me)
map I am making, I want to focus on melee maps. This game has so much going for it.
So yeah, back to topic. Good AIs, with actual platinum (if possible u_u) programming, cheating doesn't bother me,
just an ai that knows how to counter. If it doesn't exist, or can't, don't flame, just say so. I am not good with triggers,
and this isn't a linux forum, so don't say "l3rn to maek one urself NOOB". cause that is just wasting ur time, as I dont know
how to make AI.
You know, (maybe off topic) all this rage about LAN not being on SC2 made me miss lan parties, this one place
let you play all night for $30, it was owned by some Korean guys who moved back to Seoul.
I love South Korea, I think I will make a thread on that. lol
@TheSecretArts:
Hitting upper division this fall or next semester, I'm going for law.
so I can FINALLY, get a Japanese girlfriend.
I like squinty-eyed girls, don't judge lol.
(law = money = girl of choice)
that is my reasoning, as body building is a girl scarer I need
something to get them back.
I may even elist as a JAG in the Navy (Naval attorney) and demand that I be station in Okinawa. Because then
I will not only be in the army, but i'll be tha boss. Or i'll just work in the mid states, and fly to Japan and look
for that squinty-eyed girl of my dreams, english isn't necessary
她缴我日语。
@AegisRunestone:
http://games.adultswim.com/robot-unicorn-attack-twitchy-online-game.html
this will help.
Also, ur skills can lead to other stuff. Its never too late to learn something else though, learn busniness management, that plus HTML could get u a management position at a place that does websites, or become a fire fighter or an EMT or something that pays better and is consistent,
or learn to fight and join MMA.
Lots of choices out there, and the supply of females is endless because as far as biology goes its WAY easier to make a girl than a boy. What I heard, if I am not mistaken, is that temperature has effect (not as much as it does for reptiles, but still an effect), and global warming has been occurring.
You don't need a girl anyway, you have us at Mapster, :D Group hug
*commence gay flame ......... now*
Ooh and this is for the next tiem you get dumped
(which hopefully is never)

Besides, u shouldn't date American girls anyways, you can't trust them. The media here glorifies excessive emotion and excessive reactions, so it is part of the culture to do things that are in general adverse. Other countries have better systems, and this isn't the same for all girls, but better safe than sorry. I'm holding out on a squinty eyed girl from one of the East countries, 我很想中文人 OR 日本人怒朋友。
If I wrote anything other than Nu (as in female) I apologize my pinyin and hanzi still needs perfecting XD, I have made mistakes before.
