16 September 2023 -- prospective patch notes

Designer's Notes

Patch goals include:

  • Smoothing out costs and stats in the wake of the Protoss and Zerg revisions
  • Adjusting advanced workers to be more relevant in the overall game state
  • Pulling the trigger on the "shroud piercer" Kinetic Penetration revision
  • Revising the last of the multi-purpose late-game air units (e.g. Hippogriff) to be more fair in large quantities
  • Making additional progress on the custom advisor implementation

Summary

  • Advanced workers are now available in tier 2, and move ~16.5% faster than before
  • Protoss production structures have had their time costs increased
  • The Pythean and Clarion have found new homes (Nanite Assembly and Synthetic Synod respectively), while the Parthenon and Strident Stratum were removed
