Is there a way to make a bridge that I'm not seeing, or is it just that complicated?



None.

No, there are currently no bridges.

The best you can do is fake it with terrain and the Mar Sara Bridge doodad.



None.

Ok, I was sitting here making a map, and for like 30 minutes was searching for a bridge. I had just assumed that such a basic element of a map would be in the beta GalaxyEdit, and so when I didn't see one, I was thinking "Surely Blizzard isn't going to make us manually design a bridge, wasting minutes to hours of our time when they could just give us a flexible bridge doodad..."

I guess we'll have to wait and see if they patch it in or if we'll just have to wait until July 27th =/



None.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
[04:25 am]
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:
