Then the lurker focuses on one particular direction and force those protutions to spike upward, creating the spike line we know. | ||

The scarab of a reaver, is it a little mini robot or is it more psy oriented entity? | ||

I don't now why it would glow blue like that...I can only imagine it's because it's supposed to be going at such super-high speeds it charges the air around it into a plasma-like state...or something dumb like that. That could also explain why they're so dumb...when you're that small, cost only 15 minerals and move that fast, you're bound to make as many mistakes as scarabs do. Plus you're released to die...might as well fuck with the player controlling you as much as you're able, no? | ||

Protoss have glitches all over their systems, look at dragoon, surprised no disabled warrior ever complained about their incapable wheelchairs. | ||

About scarabs: the reaver is a mobile, automated factory (i.e. it's a gateway that can move) and scarabs are produced, automated suicide units. That's why they're so dumb. (and yes, the reaver says "I'm so beautiful!" when you produce it!) | ||

Interestingly enough, the reaver was not designed for warfare. It was purposed as a mobile manufacturing plant! When the time called, they simply had the Reaver produce the explosive scarabs as opposed to other more developmental causes. The Colossus seen in StarCraft 2 is the only Protoss robot to date that was made with warfare in mind! | ||

I will be working on my next excerpt regarding the transition from a multifaceted tribe like Protoss race to it's age of reason and technology, the importance that the Khala played in it and the protoss that shared it with the rest of his race. It will finally taper off into how this caused a rift with other Protoss and the eventual expulsion of the Dark Templar. Hope you enjoy! | ||

That exoskeleton was created not only for wartime but also for Protoss veterans to contribute to any number of tasks. Many of what the Protoss fight with now is modified equipment, even the scout was not used for war but to venture out as the eyes and ears of the fleet (Why did they make them so slow then, don't ask me! XD). | ||

So the Immortals are the last of the dragoons, and every one lost is permanent. Considering how many goons die on a regular basis in BW, that's kind of a depressing thought...lol. | ||
