Map editor this week, Mac edition Next week

[Centipede]

I wonder if the editor will have any limitations for the purposes of beta and spoiler prevention? (i.e. leaving things out, just including the maps and units we have now while having the campaign stuff not included.)

As long as the AoE is a reasonable size, say 1-2 radii (note: I dont know the correct hex units, but make it so it only effects the adjacent unit, nothing like a like PsiStorm AoE), the AoE shouldnt be a bad thing. Also, when you have an AoE ability like the, the usefulness is dimished when AoE's overlap (so long as effect is not cumulative), unless the player micros the attack to economise the AoE.

2 radi is greater then psistorm lols -_-.

They will strip out anything that has to do with the campaign you can be sure of that.

And we will dig up that witch they miss.

If anyone wants to use the map editor to work on an interesting project, I'm trying to get one started.

The smallest AOE means a single Marauder will slow down 5 Zerglings instead of 1.

Also, when you have an AoE ability like the, the usefulness is dimished when AoE's overlap (so long as effect is not cumulative)

The usefulness is diminished as opposed to what it could be if they all attacked different targets, sure. But the usefulness of single-target slow is just as diminished (more, actually) when Marauders attack the same targets right now.

You're buffing them significantly.

I have a feeling this patch is going to be delayed because of this "strange" error.

I'm personally wondering if they are going to change anything about Reaper rushes in this patch.
