Articles - Starbow mod for Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm

Starbow is a fan-made expansion to Starcraft 1: BroodWar, made in the Starcraft 2 engine. It keeps all the basics from the original Starcraft such as economy, high ground advantage and strong positional play. Unlimited unit and building selection from Starcraft 2 has been added to make game-play less demanding, but macro mechanics have been added to reward multitasking and frequently going back to base. Each race has a few new units and some existing ones have been modified. Starbow is on the Starcraft 2 arcade and is free to play, thanks to the Starcraft 2: Starter edition allowing arcade access.
