Hi guys.
Take your time and get it right. FYI I purchased SC2 because I read the post saying you were developing a Btanks map for the game. No pressure.
The quality of the custom maps on SC2 atm are pretty poor. There's a dota clone called Epic up that's still in obvious alpha mode (never liked dota). The map called resugence base is a new take on tower defence games and is fairly fun. The campaign is a gem, I usually cant stand rts campaigns and feel that blizzard has just about reinvented the genre.
My questions to you are as follows...
1. Is the random shots to targets in range mechanic still in effect? I've always felt that this was the central game mechanic to your map that makes it so seductive.
2. Will you be using unit attribute tags to modify dps output for the weapons? (Light, Armored, Biological, Psionic, etc...) I think it would be intersting to have some weapons do bonus/less damage to certain vehicles. Can a unit be made with both the light and armored tags or are they mutually exclusive?
3. Will the number of spells for the tanks still be three regular and an ultimate?
4. If I posted tank suggestions which thread would you want them in?
The only feature I would like to see that's lacking in branks wc3 8.71 would be a general class that summons/modifies the creeps somehow. (beyond simple spawning factories.) A sort of tech wars/boreal conflict/nexus wars type of thing going on.
Anyone else notice that zerglings sprout wings when they're movement gets upgraded. Flying zerlings would be sick!
I'm also betting that blizzard's next mmo will be set in the starcraft universe.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
