No, obvuously it was pushed back. I've scrapped a lot of the old ideas and based Resistance around perfecting the Syndicate System as it was in Retribution. And as far as title goes, Project Gorgon was just an in-production title I gave it while I was developing it's story and gameplay. Shadow Syndicate IV: Resistance is it's official title. Even though the Shadow Syndicate isn't around any more, the title itself has sort of become the series' brand. ...

Don't know for certain, xx. Never heard of that before with this file. Sorry for the long wait on a response, and chances are you won't even read this, but Expect to see a newer version (and hopefully final) of this first map on here shortly. Also I AM still working on SS4, and much more diligently than before. Expect to see a working demo of the actual game within the week. ...

Well, I figured I'd get this started with a little Comment Poll. Just as a thought: Based on gameplay, the above descriptions, dialogue and other aspects, which of the Shadow Syndicate Characters is your favorite? For me, I'd have to say that it is probably Superfly. He is the comic relief and he is also one of my favorite units to use in any RPG-style Starcraft Game. If I could vote for Vesuvius, he'd probably take the cake, but his personality and dialogue is, obviously, nearly non-exist ...

Yeah, that is something that the Syndicate maps have going for them, rough transitions. I've attempted to make them less of a trouble with my rereleases of the maps, and with the ones I'll be submitting to Campaigncreations.org for the Contest, there should be little if any bugs in all three maps. Expect to see these maps available on Starcraft.org in the Campaigns section probably some time after the contest is overwith (Late March). Until then, don't forget to visit Warboards and comment ...

Glad to hear that SS3 was an awaited gem for you, Everett! And in response to Snipet, I have thought about making a Syndicate Multiplayer map. Basically it would be cooperative, and would allow the two players the ability to form their own teams of three units from two individual rosters of 5. Ten total characters, but only half of the ten are available to each player. Or, I thought about doing a five player map where each player chooses one hero at a time. Problem is, the five player map's d ...

Thanks Harbinger! And don't worry about it.

Good to see four comments in less than 24 hours! Problem is that I know this kind of feedback will taper down to little to nothing very quickly, so I'm relishing it now!

Once I finish that, I can write up a Secrets Revealed for it, describing where to get Loki and Matriarch, who are the two secret characters for that map, as well as any additional secrets I add in. Also, look for a Secrets Revealed for Retribution pretty soon after Secrets Revealed - Remus. In that one I will go over the boss battles in Retribution a ...

I've checked every trigger three or four times over, and I've even deleted some locations and doodads with sprites thinking that may help, but nothing's worked. Please let me know what I can do!

So, download and play v1.3 and scrap Shadow Syndicate and Shadow Syndicate Special Edition. And yes, the third installment, Retribution, will be out shortly. I am currently working on it heavily to make it available soon. ...

Well, in essence, trying to stay true to the Zerg is tough. It's hard to come up with a unit that is cheap and expendable that already doesn't fall into another given group, such as the Zergling. Myself, though? I'd like to see a Lurker type unit, a Zerg warrior unit that can burrow under the ground, but can actually move beneath the surface of the planet. Perhaps that could just be an upgrade to already present units, again, like the Zergling. Something akin to the cult-classic sci-fi, Tremo ...

Latinoloco, while the idea is fresh, original, and pretty innovative, it still goes against the whole idea behind the Zerg as a race, which we discussed earlier in this same comment thread. The Zerg are not about super-weapons. The Zerg are about creating dozens of expendable units quickly. Their counter to the Terran nuke is by being able to recuperate from a nuke strike much faster than the Protoss or another Terran player. Using the Nuke on Zerg isn't exactly a lasting solution. Take it from ...

As far as spell-casting goes, Starcraft isn't the game for that. Warcraft was. Just as (Karune, I think?) said in one of the batches of Q's and A's, there won't be too many additions to spell-casting. I hope that there wouldn't be more than one or two spell-casters for each race. I want Starcraft, not Warcraft in space. ...

What if you could choose X amount of the given abilities for your Ghosts? You know, say you want them to have Lockdown, Snipe and Cloak. You research those. Then, later in the game, you realize that you'd rather have something like EMP or whatever. So you research that. Now you must choose one researched ability to be placed on 'bench' while the ghosts are equipped with EMP. Say you bench lockdown. It can be researched again, at a much cheaper price, at the Covert Ops add-on on the Science Faci ...

But the in game scale is supposed to be symbolic representation, not literal meaning. The Battlecruiser is a helluva lot larger in the cinematics, like the opener for Broodwar. It's friggin' huge. The sprites of the video game aren't the actual sizes of the units. And maybe the answer is that one Marine requires the equivalent of about 12 helmsmen in order to survive. If that's the case, maybe the Marines just need a strict diet. Also, you know what would be cool? If you could load unit ...

I've spent at least three weeks on each of my Shadow Syndicate maps, with Retribution, the new one, pushing five and a half weeks right now. Terrain was quite plain and uninventive. And I know double checking all your triggers can be a pain, but it seriously helps your map out a lot. Keep trying and put forth a bit more effort. It is especially needed with RPG maps.

Ground is defineately the Zerg's forte. And I just meant devolving units, not so much the whole building thing. Although, I suppose that'd be more or less useless, seeing as how I never make Muts for Muts anymore. I always evolve them to one group of Devs and one of Guards. And I rarely make Lurkers. When I play Zerg I go all out offense with very little resources spent towards defense. Keep the opponent checking their own defensive line and you don't have to check yours. -Sometimes I confus ...

Very good observation of the Zerg, Crazy. That's right, the Zerg have to rely on the evolutionary change to provide them with limited innovations. As such, space travel seems a far reach in itself, so for the Zerg to develope a superunit would be pretty the polar opposite of everything the Zerg race is about. On another note: It would be sweet if you could choose to devolve a Zerg Unit back to its original state (for a resource cost). Such as, you need to defend your base early on so you sla ...

The Zerg don't need that technology. The Zerg's true strength comes from a massive amount of cheap and expendable units, Lings for ground and Muts for air. To further specialize the zerg, as in Guardians or Devourer's, is time-consuming and expensive, essentially having to create two units to get just one (as the Guards and Devs morhp from Muts). I think this system works perfectly for the Zerg. They are not an air-based race by any means. Where the Protoss and Terran utilize technology to de ...

I personally think the Lings n' Wings looks pretty cool. Makes the Zergling seem more like a swarm than the original did, more like a colony of locusts or something. As far as a new race goes, I certainly hope it doesn't come to that. Three is a powerful number, everyone knows that.

So, does anybody recall seeing that Zerg worm-type thing on the Protoss SC2 Gameplay vid? Is that an underground transport or something? An organism made to replace the Nydus Canal? Any info would be nice. I always thought it'd be cool to have a Zerg unit able to move while burrowed, like the Lurker, only not immobile. Of course, that could potentially skew the balance, depending upon what sort of attacks the burrowed Zerg unit had. -Jax- ...

Yeah, while it increases the time it takes for units to cross the maps, it makes the group MUCH more efficient if it actually acts as a group. -Jax- ...

Well, the whole 150 units thing may be a bit excessive, and while a 'Select all' units may be a decent idea, I know that in Starcraft, units are way too specific for that to be utilized effectively. The 'select all' button was put into the RTS 'The Battle for Middle Earth.' And for that game, it worked. Units, other than heroes, had few if any special abilities, and were basically just beefier versions of each other. I don't know about you, but if I'm playing the Terran and I hit the select all ...

Thanks for the info! I'm used to making scenarios and RPGs, so getting this kind of feedback on melee maps that I try and make every so often is nice. I'll work on it a bit. -Jax- ...

I have updated this map a bit so that the starting areas are larger for the four players. I'll work on getting that one up here instead. -Jax- ...

Are you people seriously asking who Steven Seagal is? He's one of those ulti-cheesey action "actors." Just google his name, or go to http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000219/ to get his long, and not exactly note-worthy, resume. -Jax- ...

Must be between 7 and 12 months, as far as I'm concerned. Realistically, Blizzard can aim for whatever release date they want to, but statistics clearly show that most big-name games release in the fall, right before the winter and holiday seasons. I'm betting Blizzard will aim for that time of next year. Plus, they constantly claim that they are still "in developmental" stages of SCII, so I would be greatly surprised to see the game on store shelves any earlier than July of '08. ...

I used to read books based on video games, such as the Halo series or the (OMG I can't believe I'm saying this) Baldur's Gate series. And yes, they are usually crap. The original Halo book, Fall of Reach, was pretty good. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but the others that came after were nothing particularly noteworthy. Cashing in on the name, as I'm sure the publisher was doing. I have refrained from reading the Starcraft novels for two reasons: one, because I have simply fallen away from reading ...

Okay, excuse me if I'm a bit behind on my SC2 knowledge, but this is basically a Missile Turret without the missiles, right? And perhaps a longer range? Well, assuming the Terran still have the Missile Turret, why in hell would you build this? Is it cheaper? Any answers would be great. And don't tell me to research. I'm a lazy bum. ...

The reason it says that is because it is a multiplayer map. Notice how the suggested players is 8. ...

Oh, and on a side note, please keep in mind that I make all of my maps with the version of StarEdit featured with the Starcraft and Starcraft: Broodwar installation CDs. It it ain't broke, don't fix it! ...

Thanks! Keep an eye open for another RPG map that uses the Syndicate System, this time about an original group of superheroes. ...

Oh, and BTW, this map and Shadow Syndicate II are both resubmissions. Thought I'd make that apparent. ...

Graphics are all well and good, but if they just polished the old set up and kept it 2d rendered, I'd be fine with that too. The original Starcraft is proof that graphics do not matter in the long-run or the timelessness of a game. I still play it regularly, and it's been out for what, 10 years? Anywho, the new units. A jetpacked Terran? A giant Protoss mothership? And some strange, Zergt worm that seems to transport units beneath the ground! Hellz yeah! ...
