Let me show you how to hump without making love.

It's a quite innovative game and reminds me of AstroGears, in it's very essence of game play.

I suggest anyone who likes competetive AoS, to try it out.

Yeah, I'm a fan. I stopped playing in the last year, but I was pretty good.

I run a pushing strategy with the Guard and Troop Packs. It's pretty much unstoppable if your teammates are not retarded and understand english. Once they learn that you can heal them at a retarded rate, they start to have fun being damn near suicidal.

My strategies vary. I used to go scout with fireball and troop pack and go up to either the summoner or thunder tank and so on. My last strategy was normally light tank with tornadoes, again going up to thunder tank and on. I preferred HB, though, because normal games really took too long.

I always went with AOE missile attacks, camped at mid and just kept upgrading.



I'm only here because they patched SC1 and made it free.

No DM, all lies.

But yeah, I start with Scout and a Troop Command for the easy farm/early push. If I'm fighting a tinker, I will buy a few Siege Reinforcements from a Control Point or something after 5 minutes. By the time I get the money for a Troop Pack, not even 10-12 minutes have passed by, so I upgrade the creeps until I can get it. By 20-25 minutes, our upgrades usually double theirs for creeps and I have a Guard. Games usually end this way if we're fighting a team that isn't fed or haven't fought against my style before.

Kidding, Battletanks certainty has more strategy involved, however the battles seam to be over much faster, which I dont like all that much.

Battletanks is to battleships what Starcraft is to WCIII. Gameplay-wise.

So Battletanks is more about strategy and out witting your opponent, where as Battleships is about getting on a roll and staying there?

Even when you put it that way, yes.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

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?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 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.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
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:
