A spire costs 250/200 and takes 100 seconds to build. Yea, I think it should have more than 600 health.

Your timing attacks will still work perfectly fine.

Now that we are at 37 pages (40 prob by the time I type this out), can the OP or a Mod throw on a few polls for us? Maybe, one for overall impression, one for most favorite change and one for least favorite change? I think we need something up front so that when Bliz sees this thread they will get a good summary of what the community thinks.

Personally, my reaction is meh to bleh. I see a few decent looking changes, and a few that I don't really care about, but the silly, silly* over-reaction of changing a classic, nay, historic tech tree is just beyond my comprehension. A.I. in SC1 would always build barracks on 8, supply on 9... where's the respect?

Nerf *reapers* to require supply depot, or engineering bay, or factory, or ghost academy... but nerfing the entire tech tree beginning with the barracks... well, let's just hope that every single map has a ramp or super narrow choke and that no one gets innovative with their maps... oh, and that no one proxy gateways in base or 6 pools. Marines cry. Very poor judgment Bliz.

Also, I think the thor buff is stupid. Leave it with energy and just make the 250mm worthwhile, like doing 750-1000 damage to structures only (whether or not they are floating), or making it a splash damage attack like the Odin's in the campaign but with a much smaller radius.

*insert strong language here

I do not understand why so many people think this is going to revolutionize Thor play....it still needs to be researched people. The only thing it does is make them not feedback/EMP vulnerable. You will still never see 250mm...you don't now and you still won't.

The only thing the change does is make the fact that you aren't using it no longer a liability if HT's are on the field.

roach range will help immensely with pylon block

I think the potential to stun and kill a collosus or immortal every 50 seconds makes 250mm worth trying out.

Does 250 mm cannons punch through hardened shields? I've never played a Terran who researched it, so I've always wondered

On Void Rays, am I wrong in noticing that damage level 3 is unchanged? Since that wasn't changed Void Rays should still have the same effectiveness more or less. Speed is nice since in multiplayer it could get out of hand.

Z buffs I like (I am a Z player). Gave me and idea. Is there room for like a Lair or evo chamber upgrade that could give Z buildings an increased health regeneration rate? Nice that the counter to colossus now can't just get feedbacked to death even though mass corruption can't be used now. I am willing to take that trade.

Medivac change is good I think since drops were too easy to pull off and relatively low risk if you were paying attention. Reaper speed could probably have stayed at Barracks tech and if it was a problem increase the cost to like 75/75.

Fruitdealer wins gsl season 2, you read it here first.
But in all seriousness, the depot before barrack is uncalled for. This means terran has no way to do any early cheese that is comparable to zergs early pool or toss proxy gate/cannon. They literally removed a whole aspect of the terran strategy.
