Patch 1.3.6 added some cool UI changes. You can see your rank at the multiplayer menu. Also, you can see how much minerals you get back after cancelling a structure. Oddly enough, none of it is listed in the patch notes.

It's patch 1.4 that just came out. Patch 1.3.6 came out in July.

You're right! For some reason, I only saw patch 1.3.6 in the updater and assumed 1.4 wasn't released. I played some games today and didn't bother to check if the immortal's range was 6. :pinch:

I especially like that you can still NP massive units. They reverted that change during patch development. However, the reduced range makes it so that NP is very impractical in most situations now. I haven't seen it used once in the most recent tournament (where IdrA won btw <3), IEM Guangzhou.

I understand that it's useful for taking out massive units and the removal of that aspect of the ability is a huge blow to infestors. Fortunately for non-Zerg players, it means worrying less about neural parasite and more about fungal growth. That ability is insanely effective against Terran and Protoss. In a lot of cases, over 75% of my army is taken out because of a few well-placed fungal growths. It's even more annoying when a bunch of your stalkers are taken out quite easily rather than zealots.

I'm glad they delayed the barracks build time because I found the 1/1/1 build to be both annoying and cheap. Anyway, it's funny you mentioned teamliquid.net because I just recently reset my password for my account there just to start posting around (to discuss Protoss strategy).

Fungal growth is part of the "creep", and Zerg units always make better time moving over "creeped" turf than over normal turf.

For Terrans, you likely need to send in Firebats as part of your ground force simply to deal with the creep (and fungal growth, of course).

He's talking about multiplayer. You don't get Firebats in multiplayer nor do you ever get to play Zerg in the single player.

I don't understand how fungal growth has any relation to Zerg creep. One is an area of effect spell and the other is living material that spreads out from Zerg structures (and offers a movement speed bonus for Zerg ground units).

Also, Firebats are only available in the campaign.

He must be confusing it with creep tumors, I guess.

That makes sense.

Anyway, the current season is locked until the week of Oct. 24th and future seasons will last for two months. Also, there's a new career page that shows your league and rank in previous seasons.

There's speculation that it may be a mobile shield battery. I hope this is true because it could be good against Terran armies that have ghosts. Their EMP ability is very hard to deal with because it's damn-near impossible to dodge.

Looks pretty good. However I don't think I'll rush to buy it it like I did with Wings of Liberty. The new units look like major game changers, pros will have to relearn the entire game.

A question, was it Nova, or Karigen (sp?) that was supposed to star in the never released Ghost game? Sad that game never saw the light of day, I was always looking forward to it since I first saw screen shots of it in old PC gamer magazines many years ago.

It was Nova.

I really wanted to play it too when I first read about it.

      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

      Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      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.
