Voting for U-238 Rounds and Welcome to the Jungle, mostly for Goliaths, aka "Holy poo poo, did these mechs bail my sorry rear end out of trouble more times than I can count". Now, if U-238 Rounds sound familiar, they used to be a Marine upgrade in Starcraft 1 that did...exactly what the Reaper variant does: added range for Marines and a damage boost. If my memory is correct, Tychus' cantina conversation basically summed up what would have been Tosh's arc/story had Starcraft: Ghost been published. I think Hanson's lab conversation is also a nod to Ghost's original plot as well, in regards to the mystery Dominion program Tosh was involved in. Sadly, I think that's about as much as we get in regards to all of this. There may be a stray line or two down the road, but this is all we'll hear about Tosh's backstory.

U-238 rounds did not increase damage in Brood War, just range. Which, I guess is kinda like damage?

Clusterbombs because I want to see them used effectively and U-238 Rounds so we hopefully use reapers anyway even if upgrading the marauder is probably better. Welcome to the Jungle kill all protes.

So, the game simply suggests that it's because they're dense and something something which could justify hitting harder maybe but isn't a terribly good excuse for increased range. You could probably bullshit something up about them either being able to use more propellant because the bullets are more resilient or the bullets being less prone to deforming and thus being more accurate at a longer range if you wanted an actual reason, though coming up with an actual superscience element and not just depleted uranium would be a better way to go.

Weeellllll, if you've got a denser material for the bullet, then maybe you can have the same size casing with smaller bullets (with the same mass as the non-dense ones) and pack more propellant behind them? Same punch from the bullets, but more powder to launch them further. Except that probably only justifies the added range, not the added damage. Oh well.

The old gun shoots shuttlecocks, so changing them to U-238 rounds would increase both damage and range.

Kurieg posted:U-238 Rounds and Welcome to the Jungle Yeah, I know. Single player and multiplayer are two different animals. Void rays are still pretty insane in multiplayer For those that did not know about this, the balance patches for StarCraft and Brood War applied to single and multiplayer. There were patches that fixed some things in the campaign, but otherwise that 150-mineral cost for a spawning pool got changed for both sides.

What is the status of Reapers these days? I really only ever played WoL and HoS for the single player. Edit: Also, is anyone aware of any big custom levels or campaigns that deal with an extended evacuation of a planet? Something like a more detailed version of the Evacuation mission. Basically I wouldn't mind a campaign dealing with the initial infestation and evacuation of Mar Sara. SageNytell fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Mar 1, 2014 |

They did get a nice buff in HoS that lets them regenerate out of combat, although they lose their advantage against light units.

They also have the speed upgrade innately, and they lost their anti-structure attack. They function a lot like early-game ground mutas with cliffwalk now.

They are not. The only bad thing about the videos are the out of game portion being desynced and running at sporadic fps. I watch in Youtube and download them.

Hellstorm Batteries because that second attack is pretty cool and pretty useful. Perdition Turret because while awesome in multiplayer, I never really saw much use for the Planetary Fortress in single player personally. The Great Train Robbery because robbing trains sounds better than robbing gas.

The joke with mass reaper in this mission is that if you have a decent bunker defense, you can attack during the night with impunity since the buildings only spawn extra units if they live after being attacked. Also you don't need to kill the infestors at night, you can just build a missile turret on top of them during the day while you're pushing out and reveal them since they're just burrowed. Clusterbombs, Perdition Turret, and Welcome to the Jungle

Hellstorm and Titanium Housing, cause gently caress your credits. Grab the Perdition for maximum automation and do Welcome to the Jungle so 1/3 of the things you just got is ultimately useless.

Hellstorm Batteries. Shoot the whole sky down. And as cool as a big huge cannon is, I think the Perdition Turret is better suited to your playstyle, Raldan. Plus, having an automated ground defense system that doesn't take up supply points sounds like just what the Terrans need. Finally, Welcome to the Jungle sounds fun, if only because I've had that song stuck in my head all day ever since it came on the radio this morning.
