Just take the swarm host out. Weren’t they added when lurkers were not in the game?

3

How else am I going to make mech players itchy?

4

If they locust don’t fly, they are easily countered. Either keep the locusts flying or remove, in my opinion.

Honestly I’d be fine with their removal, never was into the whole HoTS mass swarmhost style, but it would be the healthier design if it was manual cast imo. I may remove them, we will see :crazy_face: :upside_down_face: :thinking:

6

I mean if you needed a siege ground unit, would you pick a swarm host over a lurker?

7

LOL, i will try and play this mod. The DarkArchon is to juicy to ignore.

I was thinking more I march into a line of tanks with the locusts tanking :smiley:

Sorry bro I haven’t figured out how to do it yet :pensive:

If you just wanna mess around with the dark archon, you can try “Campaign and Co-op units” mod, the creator is a lot better with the editor than I am.

Oh, now i see the “IPR”. Ok, the intention is what counts, Blizz will never do anything anyway. But it’s sweet to dream.

Btw who are you, mr barcode? You sound like a toss or zerg but idk who, and I’ve got most other barcodes figured out :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, I recommend you see what happens to hellions, hydras, and ultras when you change their damage point to the same as other units, their micro potential becomes INSANE.

  • Your taunts are ill-advised, Templar
  • Do not provoke me to violence.
  • You could no more evade my wrath…
  • …than you could your own shadow.

I am a Top 6 GM Terran (in Korea).

If its true, you are the biggest enemy the Terran race ever had. I would tell scary stories about Goba to my children to try to scared them into eating their vegetables.

What does the dmg point change do?

19

It lets you kite better by reducing the time you have to wait for their attack animation. There’s a TL thread explaining this well

https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/481523-the-effects-of-damage-point-on-unit-interaction,

Try it fellow infestor, hellions and hydras feel a lot more responsive when their damage points are put in line with other units.
