So I recently restarted playing Starcraft and found that I love diplo maps. We should make a CN based diplo map. lol. And who all here plays battle.net matches and what are your SNs?

I am Silent_Jacobii, play me if you want but I'm kind of n00by as I haven't played much in over a year

[Biohazard]

Oh lord. StarCraft...

CN Diplomacy map wouldn't be that much fun. Diplomacy, in general, is starting to bore. There's just not enough intelligent people left on StarCraft. Granted, back in 2002, there wasn't a lot then either, but the numbers have seriously begun to shrunk considerably.

Also, I don't play SC anymore. My old account name was FuRy[RoMe]. I've been trying to get back on lately, but for some reason I randomly lag now. So...I don't know if it will happen.

Latency has been an issue for me as well. As a result, I started using Hamachi to run LAN's and it's been awesome.

Latency is an issue with Vista, its a packet issue, but serious lag problems is you Internet Provider and Blizzards Old Outdated Battle.net Servers. As for the lack of intelligence, I see a lot of that. I mean theres an entire clan that RIGS DIPLO MAPS! lmao. Why would you need to do that? Those are the easiest maps in SC.

What's a diplomacy map?

[m3g4tr0n]

I haven't played SC on battle.net in a long time. I still play it over LAN at work every now and then.

[Vladimir Stukov II]

I used to play Diplomacy 7.7 every day back in 2004-2005.

Ugh. People like you are why I stopped playing SC...

BTW, I do not have Vista. Don't make assumptions. I have Windows XP. Diplomacy maps are NOT the easiest ones. They are in fact rather challenging, despite the many strategies that go into them.

A Diplo (Diplomacy) map is a game that models some part of the world, usually Europe, but there's Asian & American diplo maps, as well. The basic object of the game is to conquer cities, usually denoted by a gray tower. At the end of each turn, the amount of cities you have, will generate cash, I.E. revenue (tax) from them. You fight with the other players, and see who can come out as the last nation alive.

That's the basic gist, anyways. Lot of variations on how they go about that, but my favorite map would have to Blood & Iron v.NN. It follows the same basic concept, with some variations.

[Heyman]

Diplo maps are the !@#$.

Everybody wants freakin' Ireland.

I played back in the day. I'll definitely restart with Star Craft II. My old nick was Czar_Javax but you won't see me on anymore.

SCII is pretty sweet. I'm signed up to beta test.

SC is great, but the maps you can make with wc3 are way better (except they all get drowned out by a million versions of DotA).
Haven't played SC b.n since i got wc3.

edit: a millin is too short a number.

I would be glad to fight you. You can find me under Indoslavokia or EmperorStranger (whichever I feel like logging in on) on US East. But I should also mention that I only play original StarCraft and not Brood War.

Only playing original is really gay. Seriously, the expansion has to be under 10 dollars by now. They really fixed a lot of balance issues in Brood War. Terran NEEDS medics to survive the early game and dark templar are good for protoss because it makes the opponent get detectors.

I have both, but that doesn't mean I like both. I don't like medics. I would rather just build more marines. Savvy?

[Jamacus]

If that's your preference go for it. I'm just saying that terran gets !@#$%*^ in the early game without medics and Protoss are incredibly predictable without Dark Templars. I feel like not using the expansion pack is like making your opponent play chess without bishops because you don't like using them. They were put in the game for a reason.

Since Blizz nixed LAN support, I will not be picking up SCII. I was annoyed that each campaign will essentially be a separate game, but I got over that once I learned how in-depth each campaign would be. However, removing LAN support in order to force everyone to battle.net is ridiculous.

The Terran do excellent if you build fast enough.

yea LAN is fun, but for those who don't live in a city or town its impractical. I like that it doesn't lag but other than that I hate LAN.
