I agree that Storm doesn't feel 'as strong' as in SC1, but I don't think it's so weak as you are describing... | ||

I have not played yet but from what I have seen it looks like gas isn't as much of a problem as two bases will get you FOUR geysers. Maybe you don't get as much gas from each geyser, but still four geysers. | ||

I really like the mix terrans have got going at the moment, but i fear the ghosts may be too effective at damaging protoss. | ||

It was like they never got hit. When it happened I expected some popping to happen like a lurker might in SC. Not "oh I'll stay burrowed for 2 more seconds and brush this off". This is why High Templars aren't used. As a protoss player, you have to get observers to counter roaches. Once you get the robotics + observer, it is then most efficient to just make immortals or Colossus. It takes too much gas to switch to templars and they become a possible late game unit only. It doesn't matter if the zerg even makes a roach den. A good zerg won't allow you to scout him after his first zerglings which kill probe scouts better than SC1. Hence - if a toss plans to tech - their tech path is determined before the game even starts if they want to "play safe" and not just die to a possible roach rush. | ||

Say you have 10 ht's, you have them all selected and press 't'. Instead of all of them casting the storm in the same place like in sc1, it only casts one and moves on to the next HT. This means you can just spam t everywhere you see a hydra, GL storm dodging zergs. Edited for grammar. | ||
