The AI is so op, wondering how would it be if you would let him do thing outside his screen to, in that case it would be for sure unbeatable

@MegaShrut 5 жыл бұрын

I mean you can allow it do that, like to make it truly terrifying, letting it pull the data of the CPU (am not sure about exact location it’s either RAM/CPU. I believe it pulls of something from the memory bus while it’s in the CPU and not off the RAMbut don’t take my word for it) is OP-OP. So like for example, as soon as you target a stalker with your bunch it knows, and before the stalker laser hit yours, it blinks.

@MegaShrut 5 жыл бұрын

@iohan Kellerman, like letting it do things outside is screen is pointless unless it playing against another AI, it will just like kill you with a perfect micro and triple drops. Like just pull the data of the CPU it’s tracks units and projectile everywhere, it can blink on two sides of map, use fungal growth and parasitic bomb simultaneously with like perfect, to just wreck you. I mean it looks cool but like it’s an unfair advantage

@iohan Kellarman, I don’t think we plan to play giants other AI, but here’s a cool thing we are aiming for, so like it will have micro of someone normal great like innovation or Gumiho, will make micro error but will always win because of great scouting and perfect build order understanding and very unique play like it does for chess. That will truly be scary because like, Starcraft is all about shouting and understanding where enemy army is and we have seen something in the networks ! Keep your fingers crossed, we may win the next GSL, without godlike micro on stalkers

@BaufenBeast 5 жыл бұрын

I suppose this shows that if there's enough battlecruisers, even if you have enough infestors and vipers to control them properly, you simply might not have the damage output to actually kill them. Fungal growth keeps them in place but it doesn't stop them from shooting. As long as tactical jump is a thing, battlecruisers are going to have a use; the ability to be anywhere on the map at will is always going to be a powerful ability.

@jasonlynch282 5 жыл бұрын

Would be nice for the other races if they made the jump to location, you have to have vision. So terran would have to scan or send a unit out to said jump location.
