I was thinking about making a game where you have to survive vast hordes of enemies, getting stronger on a scale of 1-10. oh no, this won't be one of those stupid 'hide in a bunker' games. In this game, you will be able to level up and learn new spells, and each enemy has its own weakness. I am currently designing one, but I can't seem to balance out the hordes and your spells, along with how many minerals you get for each kill, etc. I was just hping that someone could help me with balancing this map out.

You just have to test your map out a lot...

I am currently working on the spells, I ended up getting rid of a couple because they were bugged.
EDIT: I am also adding a hero ally NPC with a smart AI that allows him to use spells. When you go near him, he stops walking around and you can pick up tips from him.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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