here's a pic of the UI:

I'm not sure how many groups you can control at once but you can control a massive army all at once. In this pic I only have 1 Unit extra but you can imagine how it looks with supply maxed out on lings.

will I even be able to play against you with all these achievements ? they have a balance thing now dont they?

I'm in bronze league so unless your a pretty good player we should be able to play against each other and yes leagues and divisions are balanced I think my record is 5 wins and 10 losses (30th out of the 100 in my division) so 1 win every 3 games at my level of play isn't bad (seen guys with records like 0-13). Occasionally you will play against players a bit better then yourself to test yourself or even for a possible promotion.

achievements have no effect on your rating or anything they are just for collecting/showing off and some get you rewards.

I still don`t know if I like Starcraf2 or not. But I won`t be able to play it since my laptop is crap... that`s why I play RA2 :P

JoeBlo · « **Reply #51 on:** August 23, 2010, 05:52:23 AM »

im addicted.. its very awesome.. as I said before its not necessarily a replacement for SC2 (something you assume with a sequal) but very awesome as a standalone... IMO the playability is longer lasting then SC1

So you can't make private games to play with friends anymore? I never liked that whole auto system in WC3.

Also, how much micro is involve in this game? More or less than SC1?

ianh05 · « **Reply #53 on:** August 23, 2010, 04:13:12 PM »

You can invite friends to your games to play or open games to public, you can also make parties if you want to play 2v2-4v4 against others online.

You need to micro if you want to get up to the higher leagues like gold-diamond, I micro a little bit at the moment and I'm only bronze still so diamond league players would micro like crazy. I would say more need for micro in SC2 because of the new units such as reapers and stalkers.

EDIT: Joe, I got gold in the tactical command challenge this morning

.

123savethewhales · « **Reply #54 on:** August 23, 2010, 04:19:17 PM »

Lol guess the game is not for me then. I don't even have the micro to play SC1 properly. And I thought stacking mutalisk was bad enough.

ianh05 · « **Reply #55 on:** August 23, 2010, 04:21:54 PM »

I don't micro much at all but you learn it from some of the challenges, keeping units alive is vital in some like tactical command if you want to get gold. It may grow on me.

123savethewhales · « **Reply #56 on:** August 23, 2010, 05:52:26 PM »

Lol the AI harass you the whole round now? I remember the AI used to really suck back in SC1 and WC3. Whereas against player it's all harass harass harass whoever get dryad/bear first win, that or human towers.

ianh05 · « **Reply #57 on:** August 23, 2010, 06:15:11 PM »

I can only just defeat the AI on hard difficulty so i guess on very hard or insane they could even harass you with a gatherer
