October 23, 2007 6:00 AMThe 18th Q&A focusing on answers to fan questions about StarCraft II, Blizzard Entertainment's long awaited sequel to the original StarCraft, is now available. This edition of the Q&A focuses on the map making tools that are planned for inclusion with the game. SC II will introduce new multiplayer action and a continuation of the storyline.1) Will doodad placement values increase? (ie, more than 256)[Brett Wood] We expect the doodad placement value will be on the same order as Warcraft III, which I believe was something like 10,000, so definitely way more than 256. 2) Will the number of available locations/triggers increase? The current limit on locations really cramps some ideas. [Brett Wood] Any limits on both regions and triggers will be at least in the thousands. 4) Will max unit limits increase? The current unit limit on maps is quite a crimper, and nobody likes CCMU (cannot create more units). [Brett Wood] I dont recall the exact unit limit in the original StarCraft, but the StarCraft II limit will likely be a healthy boost over the limit in Warcraft III. The exact value hasnt been nailed down yet and will depend on optimizations near the end of the project (i.e. shortly before release).
