Patch 1.3.0 is now live (with new league icons).

Also, Blizzard decided to remove the Khaydarin Amulet upgrade for High Templars. There goes +25 starting energy. :(

Yeah that upgrade I used a lot!

I still suck at multi-player it just seams no matter what around the time i get my first units ready to go they send an army and wipe me out :(

remember your build orders, shortcut keys and micro/macro well and you will be fine.

if they rush you and you only have 1 or 2 units, send all your workers to defend.

IMO the best race to learn with is Terran, as you can at least learn how to wall in and build some troops before getting wiped out. Plus you can mass their basic unit (marines) and still have a chance :laugh:

One of the things that a lot of new players don't get is that unlike other RTS games, you need to mass up your production facilities. It's common for everyone to begin with at least 2 barracks, 3 gateways, or if they're Zerg, to quickly expand to two hatcheries with queens.

Considering the campaign is primarily Terran-only, I'd say it's the easiest race for new players. I play as Protoss exclusively. I don't like Terrans and I can't do well as Zerg if my life depended on it.

Anyway, I've added a poll. What race do you play as the most?

You forgot "Random" Anaron :p, I play more with random, then Zerg.

It was already there. :ninja:

Speaking of this game, anyone want to play Left 2 Die? I played it during the beta phases and now it's much, much harder.

That was one of the four mods at BlizzCon 2010 right? The name is really familiar. I haven't tried it or any non-standard map.

So I'm curious to know, I haven't played much and I don't see the reasoning behind it. Why is it that only terran siege tanks seem to do friendly fire? Out of all the units in the game that have splash damage it only seems like the tanks have friendly fire so I don't get it.

Am I wrong that only they have friendly fire or am I missing something?

Just apply it to real life thinking :p xD

StarCraft II adds three official custom maps

Blizzard has now officially released three of its promised four new free custom maps for StarCraft II players.

sc2.jpg

The three maps, originally announced and shown to the public at Blizzcon last year, have been in beta testing for a few months, but are now available for all to download, complete with new achievements for players to unlock and display proudly. The achievements for each map are listed on the game?s official web site.

The custom maps include StarJewled, based loosely on PopCap?s puzzle game Bejeweled. Another is Left 2 Die with players building defense structures to keep out Zerg at night. The third map is Aiur Chef, where players collect different components and outrace others to make meals. Really.

I haven't tried StarJeweled or Aiur Chef but Left 2 Die is pretty good. (Y)

Don't know if this has been posted before but I'm gonna post it anyways:

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years

    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
