I have been toying around with getting a form of squad combat in SCII and I think I have a pretty good implementation with this.

I made a simple demo map, starts with a bunch of marines in a region. For each marine it creates a partner marine and adds them both to the same squad.

Any order given to a unit in a squad will be directed to all other units in the squad. When you select a unit in the squad all other units will be selected (under most circumstances anyway).

Hopefully the triggers can be optimized so you could have dozens of squads at once with little lag, I am pretty tired right now so hopefully I can do more for it later. I tested with about 20 squads and it ran well on my machine.

Pictures don't really show much, it is just a concept map. You would just see some selected marines.

I wonder... You could add point man functionality to it, perhaps... When you select a member of a squad, the squad is selected and the specific member you selected takes point. (Denoted by a special selection circle?)

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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