I recently started having ideas for a game, it's basicaly a melee game with one player being combat assistance. The players cannot build units, but instead have to get reinforcments from the CA player. The CA player builds units and then loads them into a dropship and sends it to the players base. The CA player can also have other powers like an airstrike. I'm not sure if this idea will survive at all, but I would aprieciate any input or suggestions, i don't think there will be very many though.

I know... This may seem pretty boring to most people. But some might like it once it's finished.

Yes, it seems, but the builder is one person for all the other players and the players aren't as dependent. Instead of them appearing, the builder has to drop them in a transport. Like I said, I doubt this will survive past a few posts.

It could be developed. =/

Sorry I'm not of much help at the moment. I'm busy with a research paper and SC2 Beta.

I personally like those kinds of maps, where one person is in charge of controlling units and the others have to use those units to win.
I think that your idea for having the builder do other things is great.

good starting idea, more systems to implement though would be good for this map.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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
