Never played the game but you could use a chain of units... maybe a scantid with scrouges behind it moving in a conga line.. Or explosions in a line.

EDIT: Wait is he throwing scorpians...? (Scantid)



None.

I think he means that a unit throws something attached to a rope attacked to the unit. If you've ever played DotA, I think he means something like Pudge's hook.



None.

Make an illusion. Point A would be scorpion and point B would he the claw. Depending on where you aim or move the claw, there would be scourges, or observers moving back and fort from point A to B and B to A.

Or you could just see how it was already done in Mortal Kombat[attach=1932]

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
