In this latest Q&A batch Karune, Blizzard’s RTS community manager, answered various questions ranging from interface options to support players with disabilities to game mechanics such as the Zealot’s charge ability.
In the introduction there was also references to additional macro-management elements being tested in the latest build. Currently the most talked about macro element is the harvesting of vespene gas, which will require players to keep tabs on vespene gas levels to harvest more efficiently.
No details were given about the new macro elements being added in the latest build.
“5. When two opposing forces come to a Xel’naga tower who gets control? Is it the person with the largest army or is it on a first-come/first-serve basis? – TheWarCenter
When two opposing forces are near a Xel’Naga Watch Tower, they both lose control of the Watch Tower, regardless of the size of the army or the order of who arrives first. For example, when you have a ground unit next to the Xel’Naga Watch Tower, you will get vision of the area surrounding the Xel’Naga Watch Tower. When the opponent’s unit approaches close enough to control the Watch Tower, the Xel’Naga Watch Tower will shut down and both you and your opponent will lose the increased visual range given by the tower. ”
