Ooo a mini update! I noticed the changelog says that the income bonus is +2 instead of +1. Very cool! I also noticed that for every level I gain for just killing units, I also get income in increments of 2. This is making the game very speedy and it moves to higher tier units rather quickly. I had 36 income in a relatively short game and it was absolutely ridiculous (and fun!). So thumbs up on the update.

You know, I don't care about the new units so much as fixing the problems with 2v1. So annoying. It is not fair that the 2 team can force aggro mode.

I'm pretty sure you do lose rating for leaving before your pylon is destroyed. It's been awhile, but I checked when I first noticed people doing it and they did indeed lose rating and I gained rating and my rating persisted to the next game.

I'm not sure if this has been fixed in newer versions, but I've been seeing an increasing number of people leave games before their pylon dies to save themselves from losing rating. Is there any way to fix this?

will do, thanks!

tordecy uploaded a test version. Search for Battlecraft in the create games section ... it's called Battlecraft BETA I think

Is there any way to get the new version (or at least a version with some of the new units) on NA server? I'm a huge battlecraft fan, and I'd love to play with the new system!

Very cool! Queens and Archons both seem to be reduced to about 1/4 - 1/3 health if they attack and kill a Vindicator, even with the Vindicator not attacking them! Is this modified from how they were before? It seems they should stomp psionic units. I'll have to try it out again vs. archon zealot.

Thanks for the reply. If I recall, if someone drops at the start the solo person's income goes up to 12 from 10. However, if the game loads 1v2, everyone starts with 10.

Thanks again for the response, and also for all the hard work on the game in general.

I'd like some leaver protection, maybe getting the income of the leaver so you on your own will still stand a chance?

also, the euro version is called Battlecraft 2.3.3, does this mean it never gets updated, because that would suck.

Can anything be done within Battlecraft to discourage punks from starting games 2v1? I play late at night and now that BC has fallen off the first page you can get stuck with the same opponents many games in a row. LukeD and bearfish and the latest idiots to start games 2v1, but they certainly aren't the only ones.

It gets really old. I'm trying to play a lot to do my part to get it back to the first page, but after 2-3 games of going 1v2 I give up.

As an example of a fix: If the game is "open to public" it can't be started unless the teams are even. If it's something only Blizzard can deal with, I guess I'm done playing games at non-peak hours cause their response time is measured in months and years... if ever.

Thanks for your time.

Do vindicators return damage to their attackers a la Diablo II Iron Maiden or just do bonus psionic damage? If they return damage taken, is that only damage taken from psionic units?

Well what im really asking is on the starcraft two client it claims to be Battlecraft 0.26.

this is a HUGE update. Im wondering if its extremely necessary to only give it a 0.27 title.

I personally think itd attract more attention as a .5 ~ 1.0 update to its title

EDIT: I think the beta thing is a good idea, however.

Just thought i'd like to bring it up again that im crazy anxious for the beta map to be released in full? Are you going to name it Battlecraft v1.0? =o or just V0.9
