Dark Archon Shield Energy is dropping

Hi, I encountered a strange bug on my map.
The Dark Archon Shields are keep dropping every now and then in game. Then they recover to about 20 or 30 points and fall back again. There is no Trigger which could do that and the problem only exists for the Dark Archon - other units with shieldenergy work normal.
The DA is avaible by default and has 1000 SP, 100 HP, Buildtime 300
I dont know whats wrong with that - does anybody knows this problem?



None.

Just here for the pie

Dark Archon shields drop to zero when they cast Mind Control. Is Mind Control something they can cast?

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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