Discussion of the Month Topic: Mothership

Also, the black hloe ability was replaced with a cloaking ability. Unfortunately, the cloaking ability only works on other allied units and doesn't cloak the mothership.

 

I think its good that the cloak not works on the mothership. that would be like letting the abiter being cloaked and also cloaking other units. But yea, it would be cool if the mothership also was cloaked

 

I prefer the black hole idea though, It;s just more gansta than cloaking. The nice thing about the cloaking feild is that it also cloaks any allied building within the field. I don't know how useful this will be though since cloaking didn't work too well in late game when everyone had detectors all over thier bases and use observers/overlords/comsat when attacking cloaked units.

 

you are right. But sometimes it can still be good.. But normally i have a detector myself and i shoot the Overlord or whatever my opponent has, so he can't se my cloaked units. If you are lucky and good at finding the detectors, then the cloaking trick works or well it does for me

 

Except againt terran who have comsat on every base they build. So the very moment you attack, it radars the area and boom, all your units can be see for an extended period of time, and you can't do anyhing about it.

 

you've got point there

 

That's why using dark templars on terran doesn't help me too much

The hard think about fighting protoss with cloaked units is unless you have a good eye, it's hard to spot those cloaked observers that are flying everywhere.

 

yea, but when you get used to it, it ain't that hard to spot it.

 

I know, but I haven't been playing the game that long, I can spot them, just harder for me to when a batle is going on and it just floats around in the middle of it.

 

Yea. Normaly, I don't use cloaked units because they often are expensive, and you don't have enough of them. Then i just take Sige Tanks and Marines.

 

I sometimes build dark templars early in the game to harass the enemy, hopefully before he has decent detection set up.

 

shouldnt we unsticky this thread?


and whats the new discussion?

 

We don't have a November discussion yet.

Fell free to post in the October one for now
