You should look more closely. When I played it, Mini Moose was hosting it. The game was pretty nice, although hard to understand.

But after you understand, it is one of the greatest maps on entire BNET.

LOL. You should have /whois'd him like I did.

WOE players have always used dirty underhanded tactics to try and get ppl to play their games. Apparently if your game isn't good enough for people to like it for what it is, you have to trick them into thinking it's something they already like. Fortunately they fail every time they try this and it never catches on. No one wants to play a map they can't read.

That might be the case if I was even on battle.net yesterday. :P

Apparently if people are too lazy to learn how to play your game and think it isn't good because they're too friggin' lazy to learn how to play a slightly complex game, you have to trick them into actually trying a game, because like AstroGears, there's a good chance it's an incredibly fun game once you learn how to play it.

*facepalm* complexity isn't the issue here. It's the fact that the map is just a jumbled mess of hieroglyphics.

I actually was surprised to see Twoe being hosted as a new Temple Siege and I didn't have it. I checked out the map and it was actually translated to some extent, I would have done so if I could open it though.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:
[2026-6-23. : 3:29 am]
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 -- :wob:

Symmetry -- :wob:
[2026-6-21. : 4:56 am]
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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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
[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
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
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
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:
