You do not get a faster attack for doing sentry micro but you do get to move between attacks and thus against melee units get more attacks off before getting hit.

You can use the Blizzard typeface without infringing on copyright  ::)

I'm pretty sure that Fonts and Artwork (including the concept art people use) are all copyrighted by blizzard and if they wanted they could issue take-down notices or pursue legal action for using their work.

That being said, Blizzard probably enjoys the free publicity they get and wont do any such thing.

General Discussion / Re: point defence drone use?
March 30, 2010, 04:29:36 PM
The point defense drone is an alternate to using turrets. For example, against brood lords or hydras with range turrets are useless. However the point defense drone will block up to 20 attacks which is anywhere from 100 - 400 damage depending on what kind of unit is attacking you. These are great combined with turrets to keep your turrets alive, so 4 turrets + 2 point defense drones is much better than just 6 turrets against ranged units (bad idea vs lings/zealots).

You can also use point defense drones to protect your workers from muta harass. I would suggest throwing down point defense drones in big battles instead of turrets, especially if your opponent has powerful ranged units. It is very helpful if you have lots of marines since it will negate the health penalty of stim packs.

Unlike starcraft 1, I feel like I like all the races equally. I am probably best with Terran, but I think I will play random in online matches.

Im not really familiar with sc2 ai programming, but i looked at galaxy wiki for you and i found a potential way to do this if you cannot use the aicontrolwantstoburrow functions.

1) use the unitfilter to pick out units which are "buried". Use this to issue separate orders to units that are burrowed and not burrowed.

anwyays hope that helps

AI Scripts / Re: Hardest AI?

which ai are you using? I believe that some cheater ai's do have full vision, but most of the non-cheating ai's must scout to see anything.

Quote from: NefiX on March 15, 2010, 11:49:06 AM
You are wrong. AI see all your units. You can try moving your roaches burrowed to AI base, he will scan exactly where your units are. You can try moving your army to other side of the map, ai will come there to kill you without scouting.

General Discussion / Re: Dealing With Carriers
March 12, 2010, 01:36:35 AM
i havent fought carriers much, but i would suggest vikings against carriers, simply because they outrange carriers. Do a hit and run you dont need that many, just dont let them reach your base, fight them in the open.

For protoss you may as well have a couple high templar, the 80 damage is useful against ALL units. Otherwise get a large army of stalkers and blink underneath the carriers, and make sure to get upgrades for ground armor and weapons.

I would not suggest pheonixes against carriers, use void rays with air weapons upgrade for a great counter to carriers. In fact, in PvP there is no reason not to build void rays, great against all higher tier units.
