Kerrigan has her own evolutionary tree where she can unlock both abilities for herself, a psionic blast, a leap strike, a heal, and so on, or items that help with base management, like instantly spawning Overlords or faster spreading creep tumors. By the end, out of those 27 missions I have a hunch that only 18 or so will be actual, full-length affairs. Though now that I'm thinking about it, these evolution missions are being included in the final mission count, despite being more or less tutorial stages. It's nice to actually try before you buy, as there's no undoing the change. It can be a hard choice to make, but the game makes it fun, giving you an actual mission to try out each mode to see what you fancy. A Roach can either spawn mini-Roaches when it kills an enemy, or slow the unit it's attacking by a huge amount. For example, Zerglings can either evolve wings, and be able to jump up and down cliffs, or they can remain the same but gain the ability to spawn instantly with three to an egg instead of two. As time goes on you'll be asked to pick a permanent evolution for each unit which actually changes their character models. There's a second stage of evolution for units that's far more interesting. F1 selects idle drones, another plague of unskilled players.īlizzard has also completely redesigned the interface of the entire game in preparation for HoTS. Also, F2 selects your entire army, and though the key is rather far away, it's a noob-proof system to ensure that at least your fighting units are hotkeyed at all times. Whether this exists in PvP multiplayer, I'm not sure, but it would be helpful. There's now also a very visible counter that shows just how saturated your base is, so you no longer have to select all your workers and count. Workers start auto mining at the beginning of the game, and the base is automatically rallied to the minerals. They just weren't my race of choice, and so this has been a learning experience.įrom what I can tell, little has changed mechanically from past games, though there are a few new additions that make things more "noob" friendly.
In Wings of Liberty, I played probably 200 Terran games, 150 Protoss games and maybe, eight Zerg games.
I have a hunch that the tail end will be quite difficult indeed, with missions growing harder and subsequently longer. On only day one, I've complete 15 out of 27 missions, but that's not to say the game is short. The game revolves around Kerrigan attempting to exact revenge on Arcturus Mengsk for his many sins, and that involves reassembling her old swarm, in addition to picking up new allies along the way.
