A friend of mine created a computer game in which he made 400 zerglings and attacked the computer with them. Here are some screenshots of that game.

Someone was going to put the lamest AI and try that sooner or later :p
It's impressive how compact the Zergling mass is.
Thats what I was thinking... And btw.. The AI is like this all the time... Its like a dud in sc1... I'd think it was a bug, they make like 6 units the whole game! (not counting the 8 probes...)Quote:

That's because it is always on "very easy". They probably want the balancing to settle down a bit before polishing the more advanced AI.Quote:

The only AI that is available right now is "Very Easy" so its no suprise that they only make 6 units.
Honestly... Its more like very very very easy... Very easy should at least make an army in 20 minutes and at least attack once...Quote:

I was thinking the same thing, struck me as odd.Quote:

It's probably there for what it's been used: test stuff without the computer doing really anything. I agree about they waiting to see how the metagame progresses.
Hardly to do a good AI that counters what it sees, if you don't know how to counter yourself. It's also a lot of work, and nobody is likely to go and do it at every stat change.
Actually, the code for harder computers is in the game. DarkBlizz has said they've found the code and will try to implemennt it when / if they crack AI opponents.
Obviously, Blizzard disabled it for a reason other than it not being available. It could just be not up to par or something.
Man, SC2 has pretty good readability, but this is just one huge blob. I wonder if blizzard will take further measures to improve readability of larger scale combat.
I think when you get the level of this many units, you have to ask the question why does it even matter that visibility isnt great.Quote:

You don't need to tell the difference between zerglings to cast psi storm or position units to be around the blob. You kinda have to pack in as much AoE as possible here and hope you kill them all :/
Im not exactly sure visually why you would have to see each and every distinct zergling, unless it was for gameplay reasons. Since you probably wont be targetting each ling individually, there really shouldnt be a problem.
Plus the fact that this probably isnt a viable strategy in a real game...
We need one with more people making zerglings... 4 zerg players all mass zerglings. Yeeah
That could happen if you talk it over with everyone before you start a 2v2.Quote:
