[StarCraft 2 MOD DEVELOPMENT TEST 011] - ARIM - Manned Vehicles
5Disclaimer:
this video is about a StarCraft 2 mod on the making (ARIM-All Races Imba Mod), it does not reflect ladder, campaign or coop gameplay.
A page with the details is here
https://arim.tiddlyhost.com/
but the content will change often since the mod is still a work in progress.
In this video is showcased the Manned Vehicles feature, basically infantry units can go inside big vehicles like it was a bunker and attack/autocast.
The host unit has some abilities to command the cargo units (in this case, attack, stop and stim), and when it is destroyed the cargo is expelled.
There is also a glimpse of restored units/abilities like the HERC, Scout, Disintegration, Burrow Charge and the Stance system.
Stances can be put and changed on any unit at any moment; they increase one stat (attack, defense, movement) at the expense of the other two, so they are best used in specific circumstances; for a generic scenario no stance is the better option.
As a bonus clip there is a fight between an Ultralisk and a Battlecruiser; Massive units are bigger, have +50% life/shields/energy, and ca be hit by air weapons.
The Ultralisks have a secondary attack, Ram, that can target Air units and Structures.
The mover is changed to Colossi, so they do not collide with smaller units and can go up and down cliffs; this way they should derp less while in combat.
In the top-center of the screen you can see the Avenger Stacks the player currently has; in the early game it is a came back mechanic where the losing player is given a buff to try to make a last stand. On the long run instead the player that mined, produced and lost more units, will have an higher base stack, giving him the edge against turtling players.
This is to promote players interaction and map control.
If something looks IMBA, it is intended, probably everything else is also IMBA.
I made the video just because I like the song and I want so see something while I play it in loop.
