Oh god, i can just imagine all the units stuck behind buildings as their radius is too large. the siege tank looks larger then a supply depot...

I don't like this at all.. the clumping and small radius was seen as a bad thing for a long time, but seeing pros split their units well makes the game much more exciting to watch. not saying you couldnt split with this, but it caters to casual players more.

The game should become harder, not easier imo

Can you try this with a bit less dramatic of a change? The problem with what you've shown here is firstly that the micro potential is far less because there is much less room to move when units are that 'fat'. And secondly, the DPS loss would be phenomenal at that size, I'm thinking right now about how even Immortals as they currently are are not cost effective in a big battle once you have more than say 8+ except maybe against pure mech, so for something that is massed even more like marine this change would basically be game breaking. I think you would need the tiniest of radiuses added to units, enough to give units the slightest of visual 'space' but absolutely no more, but even then it is guaranteed to affect balance & consequently the metagame in some way, so you'd just have to hope that the new metagame can also be balanced.

I don't see any fighting going on in those pictures. Not that I would expect to, but in SC2 armies are fighting and moving around a lot more than in real life.

Also, who says the Phalanx doesn't come back into style in the future?
