Description:

Ants -

Dig your way through dirt and open up a large enough space to build your base as an ant. Build a defense and buy units (Top Right) using money gathered from your home base (Top Left). Survive against the attacks of the 3 insects as you and 3 other ants wait until it rains. You must survive 20 (Game) Minutes of harassment from the insects and their disasters. All your called-in-reinforcements will spawn right by your Queen Ant. Don't let her die or your whole colony will die. When rainfall comes buy a lock-up and build walls to the entrances of your base or your queens hideout. Once you think you have enough wait a moment and the rain will fall. If it destroys all of your queens the insects will win. If at least one of you survive you will accomplish victory. To help with this victory you can buy disasters just like the insects. These will most likely not hurt you.

Insects -

Don't let the ants survive until rainfall (20 Game Minutes). Destroy their queens to take down their colony. Alternatively don't allow the Ants to buy a lock-up when rain comes. If the rain demolishes their queen then you will win. Gather minerals from your home base (Top Right) and buy Disasters and Reinforcements (Top Left). Do what ever is in your power to destroy the ants!


None of this is ACTUALLY official. For example game time may change.


Screenshots: (Internet is slow one sec...) KK Sorry for bad quality. Uhh the others will come soon.

1. The Ant Hill. I deleted some bottom sand bits so it doesn't MM.

2. Character and Disaster buying area. Top = Insects Bottom = Ants.

3. Home Base.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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