Morphling Wars:

Morphling wars is an arena FFA map where your hero can change into 10 different SC2 units. No wierd, custom abilities. just straight up SC2 units. The object of the game is to kill your opponent by constantly changing your unit to counter your opponent, then change into another unit to counter your opponent's counter and so on.

For example:
You see a stalker so you change into an immortal.
Your opponent counters and changes into a zealot.
You respond by changing into a ghost and chain snipe the zealot.
Your opponent reacts by changing into a High Templar and feedbacks your Ghost.
This can go on forever, until one loses or runs away.
Sometimes you may encounter more than one enemy, in this case things can get confusing. You can use spell casters like the Raven or Sentry to throw your enemies off and turn the tide of battle.

Here is a list of all the units, you can instantly change into:
Zealot
Stalker
Immortal
Dark Templar
Raven
Viking
Ghost
High Templar
Battlecruiser
Roach

***In order to play this game you have to create a private game; the orange join game button seems to get stuck on "waiting for players", i don't know why.

***This game is hosted in the NA servers, join channel 'mw' if you would like to play a game of morphling wars with me!

***Although this game can be played with 2+ players i would recommend to have at least 4, as it can be quite boring with only 2.

-If you like the game please rate it in the arcade reviews, it would really help me out.
Thanks.

This sounds interesting!

I can definitely see it become very micro intensive, but there are some things that worry me.

I feel like dark templar is going to be very powerful if there's no other way of detecting your enemy. The only way to see/damage a dark templar with those units are with a raven, ghost's emp or High Templar's Psi Storm.

Sure, there are counters, but they feel very hard compared to using the dark templar.

How will you manage the energy?

The Zealot feels pretty weak. I would rather use a dark templar to counter the immortal.

Other than that, it's a good idea and I'll try it out for sure.

I think the reason for the "waiting for players" problem is something about an option related to lobbies when you publish it.

Don't worry Siretu! There are no cloaked units in my game, any unit can see the dark templar and any unit can see a burrowed roach. As for the energy, units will not regenerate energy unless you are using that specific unit. However, energy regenerates about 10 times quicker.

I have also balanced out the units so a tier 1 zealot can fight on par with a tier 2 dark templar. A zealot would be a better counter to the immortal because it has hardened shields(which can also be EMP'd), with the zealots fast attack speed and low damage it can take the shields out quickly. The dark templar however, is a high damage unit and low attack speed.

The purpose of the dark templar is that it most damage in the game but its also the slowest unit in the game. Morphing into this unit after using zealot charge or blink is a great combo. By combining different unit abilities together you can be creative with counters other than relaying on hard counters.

Its also not as micro-intensive as you might think, the most micro required is shoot and scoot. All this game requires is that you simply have a general understanding of SC2 unit counters in a normal game, and if you don't you can always check out the tips!

***I've also solved the 'waiting for players' problem yesterday, it was an option in the arcade info.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
