Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty

What does randomization do to this game?

The following unlocks are randomized as items:

1. Your ability to build any non-worker unit (including Marines!).
2. Your ability to upgrade infantry weapons, infantry armor, vehicle weapons, etc.
3. All armory upgrades
4. All laboratory upgrades
5. All mercenaries
6. Small boosts to your starting mineral and vespene gas totals on each mission

You find items by making progress in bonus objectives (like by rescuing allies in 'Zero Hour') and by completing missions. When you receive items, they will immediately become available, even during a mission, and you will be notified via a text box in the top-right corner of the game screen. (The text client for StarCraft 2 also records all items in all worlds.)

Missions are launched only through the text client. The Hyperion is never visited. Additionally, credits are not used.

What is the goal of this game when randomized?

The goal is to beat the final mission: 'All In'. The config file determines which variant you must complete.

What non-randomized changes are there from vanilla Starcraft 2?

1. Some missions have more vespene geysers available to allow a wider variety of units.
2. Starports no longer require Factories in order to be built.
3. In 'A Sinister Turn' and 'Echoes of the Future', you can research Protoss air weapon/armor upgrades.

Which of my items can be in another player's world?

By default, any of StarCraft 2's items (specified above) can be in another player's world. See the Advanced YAML Guide for more information on how to change this.
