29 July 2023 -- prospective patch notes

Designer's Notes

The selection extender is now live for testing! Praise be upon DarkenedFantasies.

Please report any issues in #cmbw-issues on discord.

TBD

Selection: (c. DarkenedFantasies)
- Selection is now capped at 252, from 12
- When selecting more than 12 units, selections are collapsed, showing the quantity of units by type - at which point:
  - Left-click selects all units of that type
  - Shift-click deselects one unit of that type
  - Ctrl-shift-click deselects all units of that type
Game modes: (c. Veeq7)
- Added "Competitive Mode" to once again display "kills" on combatants
- Renamed "Use Map Settings" to "Scenario Mode"
- Restricted multiplayer game mode selection to only that which is currently-supported
  - Modes that had limited (and buggy) utility can be reimplemented more completely; please message us for specific requests!

Reduced the resource bias for expansion selection to prevent unwanted edge cases on some maps

Stability:
- Cancelling Zerg Eggs after the Larva-producing structure has been destroyed no longer crashes the game (r. Mystery Meat)
- The Diadem's damage overlay has been disabled again to prevent freezing (r. HelltRYKS)
- An ai-related nullsprite crash has been resolved (r. beriso)
Gameplay:
- Edge cases with workers returning to inefficient town centers have been addressed (c. Veeq7)
- Lakizilisks will no longer become unresponsive when receiving an unburrow order while already unburrowed (r. exosus & fagguto)
- Zarcavrokors no longer have their main weapon put on cooldown when launching Bones of Reflection
- While garrisoned, Olympians can no longer occasionally attack with Titant's Fist (r. Mystery Meat)
Audiovisual:
- The attack overlay for Anchors is no longer created facing the wrong direction when turreted combatants (i.e. Goliath) attack
- While garrisoned in Cinder Mode, Matadors now create the flamethrower overlay (still WIP) (r. Mystery Meat)
- Dying eggs hatching into units now play the egg's death animation (c. DarkenedFantasies)
- Fixed the Empress's training string not displaying costs (r. The Shambler)
- Fixed a typo in Empress - Anodyne Annex passive description (r. The Shambler)
