SC II Towers

Kuramawhip · 07-13-2007

Well, I read a magazine, Game Informers, and they featured an article on the upcoming Starcraft II. Apparently, the towers... If you build a tower on higher terrain than an opponent is standing, you will never miss, and deal more damage. But also, your opponent cannot see you, as SC's Fog Of War Engulfs your higher-located towers and units. (Yes, same with units too!)

King Stubby · 07-14-2007

thats like in warcraft with higher up ranged units doing more damage.

Kuramawhip · 07-14-2007

Only you'll be engulfed by fog of war, and you get a further range if you're higher ground than an opponent... Along with damage.

King Stubby · 07-14-2007

Also, you do get more range higher up.

Kuramawhip · 07-14-2007

That's what I said in my last post Lol...

King Stubby · 07-14-2007

i was saying thats what you get in warcraft too

Kuramawhip · 07-14-2007

Naw, I don't think so... But uh-uh. *Shrugs* I thinkn they're implementing that for Warcraft in IV

King Stubby · 07-14-2007

Warcraft IV is basically gonna be Warcraft with better graphics, some more races, and some realistic stuff, right?

Kuramawhip · 07-17-2007

Yeah... And a whole new system. My friend got lucky, and got one of the 100 copies of Warcraft IV Beta for Ohio... He's a fan of Warcraft also. Apparently, you go through, instead of chapters, it's all one huge thing, and you never have to level up your heroes again, after getting them to level 10. :P Right now I have no contact with him, as school ended, but I'm sure I will again soon.

King Stubby · 07-17-2007

What do you do in it?

Kuramawhip · 07-17-2007

Dunno. I never asked. >.< But we're kinda getting off-topic, but oh well... Lol.

MoonRazer · 07-17-2007

Well this sounds pretty cool. I can't wait for when it comes out.

Kuramawhip · 07-17-2007

One thing I forgot to mention: Also, if you are on higher ground, you get an increased Sight radius.

MoonRazer · 07-17-2007

even better.

King Stubby · 07-17-2007

Doesn't it increase sight range in WC3 too?

MoonRazer · 07-18-2007

it seems like it but i dont think so.

Kuramawhip · 07-18-2007

No. :P

King Stubby · 07-18-2007

Well sephiroth, remember to at least PM what warcraft IV is about!

Kuramawhip · 07-18-2007

I don't know THAT much about it... I just asked my friend a few things. And I already told what I know, sorry.

If I had contact with my friend, I'd ask him more details, but I don't. Sorry.

Footmen_Legion · 09-18-2007

Your Range does not increase....
X is on the Hill Y is lower ground

X adv's - More LoS and Dodge
Y Cant see the unit intill he attacks Y has a good chance of missing 30%
also
Y is by a tree lets say their the marine
Y has a 30% dodge chance
X Has Full LoS though
Y can only see to the side that he is facing

Kuramawhip · 11-22-2007

Range DOES increase.

And I have contact with my friend again...

DarkRanger192 · 12-01-2007

theres a sick new tower that shows enemy locations, and where they are going called the sensor tower.

any information about that? i don't really understand it that much.

Mr. Zero · 12-01-2007

There is a video in the download section, on www.starcraft2.com, with Terran playstyle, where you see what it does (Around 2 mins into the video).

To sum it up here is what it does:

It detects invisible units.

It can be upgrade to a radar tower when upgrade it can:
The radar tower can show the enemies position within its range (Not line of sight, but a range area) and the enemies will be shown as red dots (e.g. not revealing which type of unit there is about to attack you, but only from where).

Kuramawhip · 12-10-2007

That is one Slick tower. xD
