Fun Fact: Bob’s Guns is a reference to StarCraft 1 in Episode 1 Mission 3 “Desperate Alliance.” The Bob’s Guns store can be found inside the compound you’re trying to defend from the Zerg.

Hi Lowko! Thank you for the comprehensive introduction of the map, you did a great job and I thoroughly enjoyed the casting. It's interesting to see map makers expressing themselves by using uncommon textures and colours. It worked for me on Cosmic Sapphire, and it looks cool on Royal Blood. I'm really happy that our work gets attention that it needs. Much love

so new maps and their new solutions allow to introduce new dynamics to the game. as we are not getting too many updates to this great game, the maps are certainly something that can continue to evolve and change the style of play ... I would even be for some brave solutions. maybe separated by space from each other Platforms? (SC1 time) or as someone mentioned in the comments the main base at the bottom and the middle at the top XD

I keep hearing that golden minerals / mules causing a base to be mined out quicker is a "disadvantage". How is that a disadvantage? Aren't the minerals already in the pocket when they are mined out?
@ElkaPME Жыл бұрын
Probably think that running out of minerals quickly in your main would mean you got no mining later on Obviously a stingy trap since not muling asap means you'd be far behind in economy
@Teh_Duck Жыл бұрын
it can be a disadvantage in some situations but usually just means that you are rich. One bad situation is if you are being contained you run out of patches earlier which may force you to make a desperation push before your units are ready or your upgrades may be a bit behind. Another thing to note is it causes your economy to be less consistent as it causes your eco to boom for a bit then sizzle out fast so if you can't keep up with macro you may find yourself with 16 idle workers during a push. However mining out faster is almost always an advantage because simply because you already have the money, you just have to spend it wisely.

Probably referring to it is better to mule normal bases and not gold, because SCVs get bonus income on gold patches whereas mules don't compared to regular patches.
