how many ways are there to make a unit move slower?



None.

And keep it selectable? One, or you could consider it two if you want to say you could either use Air units or burrowed units.



None.

can you explain your method? also, how would you use an air unit?



None.

The same way you slow down units with burrowed units. I can't think of any other reasonable way other than constantly creating air or burrowed units.



None.

With Air units, just create and remove or just move the unit over the other unit's head constantly.

And with a burrowed unit, constantly move it underneath the other unit.

EDIT:

Oh, and if you really want to, you can also create and remove powerups on the unit.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
