I said in my first post here that a SC2 mod for Soase would most likely be so far from SC2 that it isn't really worth the hassle. I hold on to it. I just point on possible solutions where people seem to see an unpassable wall. Maybe those ideas help someone someday, doing another mod most likely.

Omg, not another zerg whiner ;D. Anyway, another way to do this is to leave the game as is, just reskin the ships. You would then have the same game of Sins, only that the fleets are effectively Toss, Terran and Z. A little tweaking here and there (like +30% all stats, +30% cost for protoss units or -50% stats, -50% cost for zerg units to have large swarms of them) and it might do fine. Oh and there is one issue that came to my mind now. Units in Sins are not animate

Or create a special starbase-like structure that would function as a planetary command center - the player would build structures on the planet by upgrading the command structure in the orbit like they upgrade starbases now. Options are so

The thing you fail to notice is that whenever a game is local-hosted , it opens up doors for hacks and closes doors for detecting them. Niche games like Sins may not see too much hacking online, but Blizzard is getting spammed 24/7 about hackers. Having everything stored, resolved and recorded server-side makes it far easier for them to track down hackers. You must've never met a guy who enters the game and instantly has 999999 of any resource he wants with no way for you to prov

[quote]This is, IMO, SC2's greatest failing. The system is essentially worse than no filter at all. In essence, bnet is the host of every game, and it maintains a list of "popular" maps. If the map you want to play isn't on the list of popular maps, you can't play it (unless you're the one who uploaded it to bnet in the first place, but good luck getting people to join when you're at the bottom of the popularity list)! You have no way of knowing which games actually contain people

Reply to Starbase 101 in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]given their weapon banks have the same amount of damage there's no reason for them to rotate[/quote] That is untrue. As I showed in my first post in this thread, Argonev can fire one bank of weapons in some directions and two banks at once at other directions. Orkulus has the same, not sure about transy (but I s'pose it is the same there as well). So in a situation where an Orkulus (or even a cap ship) is attacking an Argonev, the Argonev would definately want to point one

The worst thing about DNF is that whatever the developers did 13, 10 or even 5 years ago is already out of date by a century in the gaming technology calendar. You cannot release a game in 2010 that runs on a modified engine from what... 1997? So basically if anyone is going to actually develop DNF, they are going to have to do it from ground up. Whatever was done about it five or more years ago isn't worth a lollipop now.

Reply to Just some ideas in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

As for combined assaults, you can already do that sort of thing with an AI by pinging a planet with an attack ping. Select a ship of your ally and in the command box (lower right of the screen) you will have three buttons. Use the first on an enemy planet and your AI ally will try to assault it.

[quote]Does SC2 have a good "game browser filter"? With thousands of games available it seems like it would need a filter with numerous options people could check off.

I launched SC2 multiplayer for the first time since the beta (I was busy with the campaign before now, curious what comes out) and noticed something interesting. There are 50 (!!) practice matches available. That means that any of you can play 50 automatches on normal speed and no-rush maps (at least two destructible rocks block the way, meaning only a fast reaper can harm you in the rush department). By that time you should be pretty handy with the game and ready to step into normal

Fast clicking alone in SC2 won't win you any more than LRF spamming would win you in Sins. And thinking? Trust me, there is just as much thinking in SC2 as there is in sins, if not more.

SC2 is much less of a clickfest than SC1. Everyone who thinks you need to click five times a second and that this is all what the game is about should take a novalith in his face. SC2 has two major advantages over Sins in my eyes: 1. It is balanced. NOW. Maybe not 100% balanced, it cannot be when you've got three COMPLETELY different races, but sins compared to sc2 is about as balanced as rock-paper-shotgun. Sorry. 2. It takes 15-25 minutes for a match, 40 mi

I made a nice big wall of text to pinpoint every flaw of your arguments, so if you want to discuss this further - see "view edits". The bottom line however is that 1. Gravbomb can delay a retreat only once. The enemy will jump out before your cooldown ends. Subs don't affect caps, so they're outta this. Reverie gives you control of when the enemy starts jumping again and with minimal micro you can stop him forever. 2. DA < DS < Reverie. Yeah,
