I actually really like this unit design - might be super annoying when dropped from medivacs as Terran Forcefields, but the amount of micro *and* strategic play it introduces is really neat. It would just be frustrating to see a medivac go into your base, Guardian off your ramp, and have a bunch of Marines wreaking havoc on your mineral line and you're unable to do anything about it. Then again, that could also be a pretty cool way to pressure Protoss... | ||

Idea#2 Hawk / Falcon Model idea : http://i.imgur.com/P1xxGM0.jpg Hovering terran unit , moves slowly rotating the 3 blades doing so. Poweful area control , can fullfill multiple roles Ok this one is actually a ripoff from the disruptor , but its better , less gimmick and more micro rewarding/satisfying. Stats: - Unit Cost : 150M/200V/50s - Available at : Barracks with techlab - Stats : 120hp , 1armor , no energy - DPS : 25/area approximately the size of a slightly smaller widow mine range every second. the attack activates while moving. - Movement speed: 2.50 ( slightly slower than widow mine). Acceleration is slower than SCV , so it takes time to reach full speed. - Supply : 3 Description : When unit is stale , it does nothing and has the attack disabled ( much like oracle pulsar beam). Homever , when the unit is moving , the blades start rotating at supersonic speed and cut everything that gets into their way. Very simple. Advantages of having a unit like this in the game : - Better version of the Disruptor - High skill involved , high reward. - Creates interesting micro battles. - Has multiple functions , can harass workers , provides map and area control. - Less one-shot-wonders hits like the disruptor. - Introduces new mechanics with a controllable - Reduces enemy splash units power. Thats it , might post a third unit suggestion if i get the chance. I've never been big on your Guardian unit, but I think your take on the disruptor could replace the current one. I feel this version is more fun, simple, and less effective at breaking fortified positions (something that worries me about the disruptor) | ||

Ground bio unit that is build from the baracks. Can be called down (like a mule) upon a marine, which powers the marine into a minature goliath (kinda like the suits from the matrix @ the defense of zion). Doubles the marines damage, but makes it ground damage only. Also comes with a grenade launcher as an active ability. Serves as a powerup to the marine to make it more durable in late game ground fights. Since marines are very common in all matchups, kind of a 'go to unit' that is extremely versatile. It instead provides players with a choice on what to do with their marines. The downsides, its attack being ground only and the unit being slower should provide the enemy with opportunities to counter. Grenades should be usefull versus siege tanks and big protoss armies. High damage, small radius, can be dodged with good control. Requirements: Baracks and Tech lab + Ghost acadamy Gets regular bio upgrades Future upgrades to be placed on ghost acadamy Stats (wild guess, all subject to balance) HP: 65 Armor: 4 (+1 each lvl) Ground attack: 2x6 Attack speed: same as marine Air attack: none Movement speed: 2.00 (slower then a marine) Cargo size: 2 Build time: ~ 10 seconds when called down, marine is vulnerable Minerals: 50 Gas: 25 Supply: +1 Ability: throw (X7-technobable) grenade Does: 80 damage in a small radius, small detonation delay ~1 second Range: 4 Recharge time: 15 seconds | ||

Unit: Neural Shredder Supply: 4 Mechanical. Base armor :2? Hp:150 Is build by SCV after a player has sci-lab (or whatever is this battlecrusier building called). I think being constructed by SCV adds nice dynamic to late game terran. Despite being constructed by SCV its a unit and can actually move with speed similiar to hellbat. It fires a projectile with range 5/6 with modarate rate of fire (once a second perhaps). Bio units hit by shreder become uncontrolable by owner and wander helplessly for 2.5s in random direction doing nothing.Burrowed units unborrow. Mechnical units hit by shreder lose 20 shields.Neural shredder does NO dmaage to health of units or buildings (although can drain their shields). Has special abilty:void frequency once activated every shredder shot also drains 20 energy from target hit. This ability last for 10 second while activated and has 30sec cooldown. Does benefit from building armor and turret range but not from other upgrades. Edit: I kinda wonder if it should damage Zerg buildings (lore wise i imagine it like some kind of weaker weaponised psi disruptor), but that probably would make it too op and one dimensional. Lore wise neural shreder fires something like concentrated psi-noise. Severing zerg connection to the swarm, overloading human/protoss brains. | ||

I think "battle SCV" concepts are okay, but a bit boring and similar results can be achieved in a more interesting way. My favorite ideas so far: Egon (very good support spellcaster concept. I like it a lot) Hero (very cool concepts here. I love the automatic health distribution passive.) Exterminator (very cool idea for a micro intensive bio support unit. Not sure it quite fits the role I'd like, but it's such a cool concept. Reminds me of stitches putrid bile ult in Heroes, which is always fun to use.) Skyhawk (I love this a lot. Terran needs air splash and this could also harass and support bio comps on the ground.) Battle Medic (my idea, of course it's here. But I do think this is a solid suggestion that helps increase the survivability of bio comps in an interesting way. I particularly like the anti-burst/aoe shield spell) Honorable Mentions: Specter (I REALLY like the Targeting Lazer ability) Field Defense (amazing idea for a Calldown ability or something, not a unit though) Baldur Cybroengineer Field Engineer Most entertaining: The Junkie No love for sanraesos or cattlebruiser?

Will try to include said shield too. | ||

The Terran Grenadier Cost: 175 minerals / 75 gas / 2 supply / 45 seconds / E hotkey Requirements: Barracks with Tech Lab add-on, Engineering Bay Unit Information: Biological, Light. 1 minimum range; 4 range (+1.5 minimum range with RPG, -.75 with Hi-sec Auto Tracking). 90 Health, 0 armor. 2.5 move speed. 4 cargo size. Description: The Grenadier is a tactical specialist unit. It has a non-projectile, toggled auto-cast spell with a short cooldown compared to other spells (5 seconds) while the actual spell effect is a thrown grenade and has a detonation time of 4 seconds which should allow for both micro and counter micro by creating short-lived points of contention. This spell-attack deals moderate splash damage in an outwardly expanding circle but only to the first units it comes into contact with (this should mean that it can be blocked with force fields), deals bonus damage to mechanical units and saps energy (this means that while it may be blocked with force fields, it also destroys them). I’m thinking 20 damage +20 vs mechanical, -10 vs massive, -10 vs armored, in a 2.5 radius AOE. Its attacks inflict friendly fire and can be neutralized with force fields, fungal growth, EMP (these are high-tech grenades ok boys), and unit blocking. Upgrades & Abilities: Rocket-Propelled Grenades (Passive): Increase the range of the Grenadier’s primary spell-attack from 4 to 7, and minimum range from 1 to 2.5. Removes damage penalties to massive and armored targets. This changes its attack graphic and animation from a hand-held thrown grenade, to the utilization of a grenade launcher. Upgraded from the engineering bay. Incendiary Grenades (Activated): Allows the Grenadier to throw incendiary grenades in a 5 range radius, with a 4 second detonation time dealing an initial 45 damage 3.0 radius AOE while leaving behind a blaze that lasts for 6 seconds and deals 5 damage per second. 40 second cooldown. Upgraded from the tech lab. It is possible that this upgrade may be further enhanced by blue-flame, increasing initial blast damage from 45 to 55 and blaze damage per second from 5 to 11 but reduces blaze duration from 6 to 3. This upgrade would have three visual cues, the first being hanging red grenades appearing on its belt or a diagonal chest strap, the second being a color change of the grenades from red to blue, the third being changing color of the blaze effect from red to blue. Hi-sec Auto Tracking may act as a tier 2 range upgrade to the Rocket-Propelled Grenades which acts as a pre-requisite for affecting the Grenadier specifically. Increases range from 7 to 8. Additionally, the Grenadier shares the concussive shell upgrade with the marauder that only affects its primary spell-attack. Other Information & Design Thoughts: I went more for an under explored conceptual design that provided depth of micro and increased early-mid game possibilities rather than filling any meta-game niche (even though it still does this), while its upgrades allow it to remain useful into the later stages. I also considered utilizing charges that regenerate to a cap (e.g., maximum of 3 stored at once) instead of mere cooldowns, but overall I just wanted to get the general idea down—all of the #’s are obviously available to change and rebalancing, as most of my figures are shots in the dark tbh. With this unit I also explored the concept that multiple different upgrades may affect it in some cool ways, intersecting otherwise unconnected upgrades upon this specialist unit type. It is unaffected by stim pack and combat shield. The idea is that it could have a dualistic purpose of harassment abilities that also serve to create space and mold the shape of battles, increasing both micro and length of fights. I’m not sure whether its AOE concept is the greatest or if it should simply have a diminishing effect at certain ranges like the widow mine. That is all for now. | ||

Even fits with real SC2 gameplay since Terrans like their SCVS to commit soduku late game...suddenly the weak become the strong, nice idea | ||

Unit: The Envoy (female or male, dressed in slick space suit, carrying a briefcase) ![[image loading]](http://s784.photobucket.com/user/kjellsundinster/media/space%20suits%202_zps4l8guwzr.jpg.html) Production: Available from the barracks after the ghost academy has been completed alt. upgraded to a Diplomat Academy The Envoy is probably a hero unit (only one at the time) with little HP and practically no armor, but with surprisingly high speed. The Envoy is equipped with a plutonium-powered megaphone and thus has fairly long range for a spell, with a conical area: the Proclamation of UN Assembly declaration and non-binding resolution, §18b) to §346 f) section b, concerning Trilateral threats to universal peace and security in the Koprulu sector caused by dastard terrorist acts. The spell affects all units of all races equally, enemies as well as friends: immediate effect is paralyzing causing a non-movement and a cease fire for 3 seconds. After that, a 5 seconds of confusion and paranoia strikes all affected units, who see threats to their own well-being everywhere and start to attack the nearest living unit, friend or foe, no matter, with whatever weapon they have at their disposal. Units with no weapons (like medivcas) run away blindly in their current direction for 5 seconds. The Envoy is also equipped with a fallback weapon in case peace could not be fully ensured with the spell: The Envoy can throw (relatively short range) a dirty, poisonous peacekeeping cluster grenade. Upon detonation, an area is temporarily filled with a combo of various explosions, nerve gases and radioactivity, ensuring quick death for any ground unit being in or entering into that area. The UN Envoy will have 2-4 grenades when spawning and will need to "recharge" cluster grenade at a cost (like the carrier's interceptors). The Envoy is vulnerable to air units, but will always be the first unit to be uploaded in a medivac in case of group evacuation and the first unit to be unloaded. EDIT: hope the pic works... | ||
