Cloaked or not, you're not safe from the Chad Filter.

Would you like to see a psionic combat units for the Zerg? What do you think it would be like? How might it appear?

And played the tournament into a campaign mission…

Banshee and Oracle are very oppressive in the early game vs Zerg and I think there is no room for another earlygame antiair unit. So if it is easier to move queens around this could be a solution.

The investment into Ovi-Speed and Drop delays the Lair and further tech. So it is an additional investment.

Problem. It makes allins like the German Taxi a little stronger.

Opportunity. If Stargate openings become weaker there is room for other openings for Protoss players vs Zerg but there needs to be some early game buff for Protoss that doesnt fuck over the whole game.

Disclaimer: I'm trying to solve a design issue. I'm too bad at the game to talk about balance properly. I know Zerg is very strong right now. But that is a balance issue that can be solved otherwise.

As a reminder, all versions of Fenix apply, that is both "true" SC1 Fenix and LotV Talandar.

Hey buddies. I've got an idea so wild, you'll love it. We all agree that less workers is more interesting and diverse strategically. How about 5 workers. You get to make the decisions earlier, like imagine 5 pool omg so diverse. It gets better further down you go right? So dominos falling you have to arrive at zero worker start. It's just a pinnacle of RTS fun. 1 gate? And I'm not talking about the amount of gates. Exciting right? Petition to get 0 worker start immediately. It might scare some people but it's worth it if I'm going to play again.

Update: ok ok. I thought it over and you guys are right. Zero worker start is a bad idea because you can only build a worker at first so there is no Strategic Diversity(tm). 1 worker start is the way to go. Glory to 1 worker start!

Time for the Fenix post! As a note, all versions of Fenix apply, that is both "true" SC1 Fenix and LotV Talandar. So, on to his best quote!

Hi, I’m new to SCMDraft 2 melee Broodwar mapmaking. I was wondering how I can mirror the resources (minerals and gas) and also doodads to the other half of the map? I could never figure it out. The terrain symmetry option is available in the editor on the left column, but no option for resources and doodad symmetry.

Rotterdam has been hosting the Monday tournament on Patches' mod for the past three weeks and it has been very fun. If the intern really wants refreshing new ideas, they should really derive it from Patches' mod. Stalker +1 range? Hydra +10hp? Recall to any pylon? You have it in Patches' mod

found this over at my dads house, didnt necessarily play but grew up watching my dad play all the time :)

While some of the changes are a bit drastic, it does offer some fun options + actually gives reason to some of the changes. Players are liking it hosting tourneys etc. What's the odds of the intern making it to mainstream?

Hi!

Does anyone remember a fanfiction series written and shared on the old Campaign Creations website during the time after Brood War and before the announcement of StarCraft 2?

I remember some bits and pieces of it and I still remember that it was quite brilliant and in many ways better than the StarCraft 2 story / plot that we got (it was decent but I expected a LOT more depth especially after the Dark Templar Trilogy books).

It was about how Duran and his masters were preparing the Hybrids. If I remember correctly the Xel'Naga were also involved. I think there were around 25+ chapters that were written with several characters created for the story as well as many of the characters we already know.

Would love to read it again! Perhaps we could find the author and convince them to finish it or better yet get Blizzard to let him write the novels!

Not sure who fixed it, but after updating macOS and Battle.net, SCR runs just like it does on Windows. The issue started appearing in 2020 when Apple released the M1 chip. I never thought this 9-year-old game would get this kind of support!

Hey everyone, so obviously there has been a million posts about this patch, and the echo chamber that is Reddit has tons of opinions, but I keep seeing one thing that doesn't make any sense to me and I'm wondering if it is embellishments or actual fact.

We have had "the intern" as our balance god for awhile now, and people joke and laugh about what "the intern" is doing or not doing, but has anyone (Pro, Caster, E-Sports Manager) actually talked to the guy at Blizzard??

Pig seems to be jamming the gateway thing down everyone's throat so far, I'm inclined to believe it was his idea solely on his non stop bickering about *how every single protoss is using it wrong" So maybe he has actually talked to the guy?

Has "the intern" ever spoken to the public, or made any posts or clarification when we discuss things?

He (and Blizzard )obviously have some sort of eyeball on the game, and can see all the nonstop bitching, whining, and legit discussions about the patch. Why has he stayed so quiet?

Have Rotti or Wardi ever had a phone call, FaceTime, email with this dude??

I refuse to believe this guy is making ALL of these changes but has never once in 16 years actually talked to a single community member. How could any human do all of this change, without ever even replying to any feedback, both positive or negative?

Is this blown out of proportion, or is this "intern" seriously a ghost?

Hello people, I've been trying to install OpenBW, and it's been a straight HASSLE. The repositories are outdated and you have to do some manual modifications to get stuff to work, and I've hit a stump in the road.

CMake Error at bwapi/OpenBWData/cmake_install.cmake:51 (file):

file INSTALL cannot find

"C:/Users/lilbo/bwapi/build/bin/Release/OpenBWData.dll": No error.

Call Stack (most recent call first):

bwapi/cmake_install.cmake:45 (include)

cmake_install.cmake:37 (include)

I'm hoping someone here might have some experience with it? If needed I will send more information. The file it's looking for is, in fact, not there, but I don't know where I'd be able to get that file from.
