Re: [glob2-devel] revisiting unit conversion (and how overpowered it is)

[Leo Wandersleb]

hi

i love the conversion system as is.
especially on big maps this is not powerful at all.

one point is fruits itself.
if you have no fruits on the map, conversion makes perfect sense.
units rather convert than die.

in that way this is a map design issue. i personally love fruit rushes.
if you don't like them, don't play fruit maps.

how about an option in pre-game "remove fruits"?

i don't. please explain.

:( no. please play maps without fruit to get close to this.
