Q&A Batch 18

I actually applaud Blizzard for even giving out as much "detail" as it has given us. Though I think they are giving too much, too fast. Also for those of you who say this Q&A fails, it does not! I am happy to hear this information as it allows for so much more to be done. RPGs will now be a lot more immersive, Campaigns in-depth, and madness maps will be cool again.

 

I read them of course! I don't even know the unit limit of starcraft.

 

The question wasn't about the UNIT POPULATION CAP per player (which is 200 psi, control, supply), but rather the number of units allowed PER MAP.

Which is 1700.

 

Seems to be too small per player, it's the new millenium , many pro gamers (Korea JERKZ excluded) expect more from starcraft 2 thansmall unit cap limit...

 

How often do you hit that pop cap?

In online matches (not single player or UMS)

 

Very rarely. Usually when 3-4 players get Carriers or Valkyries.

 

Then the limit is just fine.  It is only low if you hit the limit on the majority of maps.

Wait are you talking about map limit.  I meant pop cap.
OK stop and pay attention I am now going to define terms:

• Pop cap: the 200 population limit each player has
• map limit: maximum units on a map before hitting map max and no one can produce more units

 

"1) Will doodad placement values increase? (ie, more than 256)"
"2) Will the number of available locations/triggers increase? The current limit on locations really cramps some ideas."

what a bunch of dumb ass questions...

 

Well... I seriously have this theory that Blizzard dumbs down questions. Because even the question that we submitted that they decided to answer, they only answered half of it. The other half they edited out.

So some of these questions may have originally had a purpose and were meant to extract information, but Blizzard neutered them. With a pairing knife.
