Does that mean tomorrow is a possibility? Or is there an implied "when I'm finished" involved there too?
None.
I think it will take a lot time to make 1.5 perfectly balanced with the new features.
Just like SC2
Id rather have it perfect and come out later than have it suck and come out early.
None.
*sigh*.. the tragedy of the professionalists
When I say "When I feel like it".. it means I have the ideas solidified, but not put into map yet
..
None.
I just remembered a superspecialawesomesauce thread that tells you how to make the computer upgrade on demand, which would free up a lot of units that would otherwise be used for spawns.
http://www.staredit.net/topic/5332/ Think it might be useful? One thing to keep in mind is that if you used this, all of the spawns would have to be the same race.
None.
That's only 3 upgrades, unfortunately.
None.
That's enough, as long as other players aren't also getting the same units. You'd have to modify either Summons or the DM's L4 to use broodlings or zerglings efficiently. Zealot and dragoon are the best choice in my mind, unless you want marine/firebat.
None.
This idea has exactly the same flaws as the idea posted previously about having variable HP spawns. It doesn't scale XP.
None.
That isn't necessarily a flaw because of the whole "spawns are feed" thing.
Perhaps spawns should upgrade in HP and upgrades rather than numbers.

That sounds like a great idea rather then upping spawn number.

A while ago I posted a variant on the Perfect Kills to Cash system that has the same effect as normal PKtC but doesn't take up a player slot. If the Upgrade system was implimented, maybe UUrine could use my vPKtC, which would let him change the spawn's XP amounts when the computer upgraded the spawns.

IDK Wat U Say cuz u use 2 much abbrv's

Sorry... PKtC = Perfect Kills to Cash, vPKtC = my variant on Perfect Kills to Cash system that doesn't require a dedicated computer. UUrine = you, if you couldn't tell.
I was suggesting that if you used the upgrade idea (Using
this to upgrade the spawns instead of changing the units), you could implement my system, which would let you change the XP the spawns give each time they upgrade.
(Here's a link to my improved Perfect Kills to Cash system:

None.
Id prefer to keep spawns as feed due to the idea that this game is more hero centered rather than reliance upon spawns. I think I love Urine's style in maps (after playing several) and how he focuses on heroes pitted against each other rather than having to use other tools to fight with (aka spawns). Thats my opinion on it.

None.
My suggestion wouldn't change that, it just gives UUrine a few more units to work with. The spawns could still be feed.
None.
While you're at newbifying the game, remove light mage's l1 cooldown, and make archer's l1 autocast whenever someone gets close. I'm tired of having to do this 'timing' stuff, its too hard. To balance it out you can remove dark mage, and double mech's vulture form hp, it's too low and i'm tired of having to micro to survive. Spec ops should go back to +3 attack. Don't get me started on warrior.
On a serious note, I just discovered that medic's L4 sets mana to max. It has the interesting side effect of dark mage and medic being assassins at night (and dark mage can screw you over with the curses). It's kinda cool, but it's kickin the other team while they're down, given that L4 also gives 20 civs worth of HP...

Moose discovered this around page 5 I think.

It's one of those need to know secrets that you don't tell anyone.
None.
Lol I just found this out by accident too. I played defense against a summoner as medic and ended up doing 175+ damage by the end. =D One hitting marines earns money incredibly fast. My assassin teammate FINALLY started hitting the temple, and we won, barely.

POST 1500..
WH00t! Got it this time, IN YOUR FACE ECHO..
but it wasn't as good as post 1000 :C ...
I included a lot of little details for players who are willing to delve deeper into the game.. but usually, it all comes to just aesthetics.. (usually
)
As for v1.5... i'm having a hard time getting the new heroes glitch free... (just with any heroes)... soo it'll take a while :C
None.
