If the xayid will become like plant like in the future then it would make sense if the devs could create an environment in which they could build similar on how the zerg can only build on creep
Unfortunately adding an alternate creep mechanic is not technically feasible. In any case, "Xayid 2.0" as I call it right now will actually take the opposite approach. They will send seeds flying across the map to plant a building anywhere on the ground, without the use of a worker. Restricting this to a creep based placement would make it infinitely less interesting.
@@solstice1290 It can't be done through unselectable units and behaviors/AOE effects? I think you could try a fog-like spore cloud in the air that is just a unit with a range and the buildings lose health when not covered... or unselectable unit that modifies footprint. Idk but that's just my initial thoughts.
@@kesslerdupont6023Mostly I was referring to the fact that creep itself is not extendable. Emulating certain parts of it with behaviors/effects, while technically possible, is probably not very scalable. And using a fog type of visual would also probably not be feasible, as that relies on using particle effects, which are computationally expensive in high numbers. (Not to mention it would be visually noisy) In any case, it's a mechanic I'm not interested in, since as I mentioned earlier, it would directly sabotage other core mechanics I've already planned.
Was a fun match to play. Glad you decided to cast it!
It was an awesome game man! I had some issues loading old replays with the latest StarCraft patch but luckily I got to this one before that happened!

Dude that’s actually a great idea! Like a fungus or plant reskin for the creep 👀 even if it’s just for the aesthetic, it would be sick!

@@solstice1290 Ok gotcha. Can't wait to see what you add because the custom races are so cool. It seems to be one of the more polished mods for races.
I loved seeing the Olympus and Tesla use. Some of my favorite genetron stuff.
Same here man! We definitely don't get to see the Olympus enough
