They're a company that is very concerned about "PR". They're not going to lie to their gamer base. They'll omit information however to build suspense. | ||

They were quiet for sure in regards to whether they were working on Starcraft 2 for several years, but they never said, "We're not working on Starcraft 2." Find a press release where they explicitly state they're not working on Starcraft 2 if you don't believe me.They're a company that is very concerned about "PR".

But for WoW they added like a bunch in their expansion pack... but that's different since it's not a RTS game and much easier to add things | ||

adding a new race to an RTS is similar to adding a new class to WoW which they did not do (though adding a new race is a much tougher task i'd say) | ||

Seeing now as it looks impossible to add a 4th race with the balance and all... (but it can be done). | ||

"Note that there will only be three playable races in StarCraft 2, the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg, and the storyline takes place four years after the original." Official faq "How many races are in StarCraft II? In StarCraft II, players will see the return of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg races. Our goal is to ensure that all the factions in the game play even more distinctly from one another than in the original StarCraft, while still maintaining the fine balance that helped make StarCraft such a classic. We're also introducing a number of new units to each race, as well as modifying some of the familiar units returning in StarCraft II. With these design refinements and the new features we have planned for the single-player and multiplayer elements of the game, StarCraft II will offer a next-generation StarCraft experience." Good luck finding better references backing up a fourth race. You guys can talk about the expansion pack of course, but I really doubt Blizzard has put energy into deciding the expansion pack's content already, it would mostly be a waste of time until they know how sc2 turns out. | ||

But yes, it'd be a lot for them to balance! But with all the hard counters the are introducing it should be easier... Still I do not think we will see a 4:th race for a long while (in pvp). And I have absolutely no facts to back that up. | ||

Second the number of (non-mirror) matchup with n races would be n(n-1)/2, so 3 and 6. Or n(n+1)/2, 6 and 10, if you by some reason count the mirror matchups as well. But yes, it'd be a lot for them to balance! But with all the hard counters the are introducing it should be easier... Still I do not think we will see a 4:th race for a long while (in pvp). And I have absolutely no facts to back that up. Yes sorry ofc I mean the triangle numbers, I mixed up 1*2*3*4 and 1+2+3+4. And yes im counting the mirror matchups. Imo in starcraft only 4 of the 6 matchups are balanced TvP TvZ PvZ and TvT. Both PvP and ZvZ need more work. Im hoping all 6 matchups will be balanced in SC2. Adding a fourth race would only mean a lot more balancework. Im not talking about balance as in both races being equaly able to win which is obvious they are in a mirrormatch. Im talking about a balance in the gameplay so that one strategy or BO isnt better than all the other. So most of the units can be used etc. We dont want another ZvZ in sc2 plz  | ||

Secret mission: one of the last Z mission is to kill a protoss base within 30 mins. Do it in less than 20, and you go to the secret mission. Use the guardians to get an expansion asap.  | ||
