Raw Blame History

20 November 2023

Designer's Notes

Patch goals include:

  • Continue to address unintended mid-game air dominance
  • Improve weak units and compositions with balance tweaks and ability revisions
  • Significantly improve audiovisuals with new unit responses, combat SFX, sprites, and more

Latest content

Patch summary (so far...)

  • Cut top speeds of several air units across all races and tiers
  • Refocus mid-game Terran mech towards a slower, more durable direction
  • Boost mobility of Terran bio to better deviate from Terran mech
  • Revise key units to remove undesired, overly-binary interactions

General

  • Improved fog of war reveal on cliffs, from low ground (c. DF)
  • Shuffled Protoss structure buttons in construction submenus to improve organization
  • Added more debug info to help investigate desyncs, c. DF. Please screenshot and report if you encounter them!

Game Modes

  • Added Faction Wars (a Btyb bounty!), allowing players to select a subfaction.
    • This mode is very much in a "minimum viable product" stage, and only Terran factions exist right now, with very few changes compared to stock Terrans... but it should still be neat!

AI

  • Mappers can now set Mineral Field type 1 deaths to control the faction of AI. This is preliminary support as factions continue to receive development.

    • Added an additional sanity check to prevent displaying passive icons in mixed selections
    • Witness and replay modes now show Nydus Cesiant connections
