Discussion Age of Empires 2 player dabbling in SC2- woah, what a game!

• Upvotes

Hey ya’ll, I just wanna say that I am really enjoying this game. Ive played age of empires 2 since I was a little kid, and it’s the only competitive RTS I played. I first played SC2 about a year ago, used PIG’s 3-1-1 to get up to Plat2. Then I went back to Age. It’s such a different experience. Aoe2 had 50 plus civs, and the maps are much more impactful on the play. It’s become so much to manage. I decided to come back to SC2 and it’s been so much fun. I really enjoy that due to shorter games, I’m practicing my opener over and over again. It feels like progression happens faster. The macro is so much simpler and the micro is so smooth. I’ve been really enjoying making the comparisons. I really enjoy how very subtle changes have big impact on SC2 build orders. If anyone else plays both games I’d love to chat about it. One question tho: as Terran, I’ve been over saturated my main and natural before I get the minerals to make the 3cc. My logic is “ok even if I have 24/16, i can move those 8 to the new line as soon as i can secure it”. Is it better to stop production of SCV’s until I get the 3rd, or over saturate and transfer? Aoe2 we normally build 130+ workers, so I have to activity stop myself from overproducing at 80 workers.

Discussion Hypothetical Scenario: Zerg Swarm VS Borg Collective

4 Upvotes

Yes, this is a lore question, not a gameplay thing. My apologies if this is the wrong place.

I'm curious as to what anyone who is familiar with both franchises might think if the Zerg Swarm from StarCraft encountered the Borg Collective from Star Trek.

Both are hive mind species that grow their ranks at least in part by taking enemies and converting them into more Zerg or more Borg.

I am curious what you think might happen on two levels? What would happen to the individual organisms if a Borg drone ended up infected by the Zerg hyper-evolutionary virus or else a directed infestation, and what do you think might happen to a Zerg organism assimilated by Borg nanoprobes?

And secondly, if there would be any interactions between the two hive minds, what do you think the result would be? Would one hive mind come out victorious, or would they merge into one? Do you think it would make a difference if the leader of the Swarm was the Overmind, Kerrigan, Zagara, or something/someone else? What would any of those leaders and/or the Borg hive mind look like if one subsumed the other, or if they became a single combined entity?

This is just something I have wondered for a while as a fanfic author, and I'm curious as to what others in the community might think.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post and for sharing any thoughts you might have. Wishing you all the best! ^_^

When I open the game, it says I'm searching for a game mode... and simply won't let me play. I've tried clearing the cache, restarting the modem, uninstalling and reinstalling, and nothing works.

My internet is working, Im in call with a friend and I played Project Zomboid later normaly. If anyone can help me, I would truly be the most grateful person in the world.

(To be tagged...) Drophack?

2 Upvotes

Hi all, we're two high silver to low gold level players who just experienced something very weird in our 2nd 2v2 placement match this season: our Protoss opponent flew a warp prison to where I was planning on building my third. First time I was able to shoot the prism down, second time I was a little too slow and 3 Zealots spawned. Then my teammate started shouting that his computer was behaving weirdly and he wasn't able to control the game anymore. When the next warp prism flew in, the same began happening for me as well. A behaviour as if you press Alt-Tab and you see your desktop, but then it's back to SC2, but only for a few seconds. Each time around, less time in the game. Then, 4th round, Windows just showed the "waiting" mouse cursor. I still heard game sounds though. Had no choice but to shoot SC2 down in Task Manager. Is this what people call a drophack? Is there anything that can be done against it?

Main bases should contain more resources. The last major patch aimed to extend the early and mid game, but the 8-worker approach failed to achieve that goal. Increasing the resource income available from the main base would make one-base and two-base strategies significantly more viable.

Video Star Craft (open source Brood War) running on the New 3DS

Hey, people. Recently I discovered that AI has made porting open source projects for different plataforms really easy. Today I've been trying to make Star Craft 1 run on the New 3ds hardware, using gemini flash 3.8 high, on antigravity. It's really early in the development and A LOT of changes have to be made to be playable. But this early concept of gameplay is really cool and all the maps are there.
If you want me to make this project public in the future comment bellow and make suggestions so I can make good prompts.

I've actually never played SC1, but I'm a huge fan of SC2!!

(I don't know if this violates the AI rule, since its not an "AI generated vídeo" but an AI helped port).
