Immortal shields can only take 10 dmg up to a point, i think its about 100 or a bit less than that then the shields dont work anymore.

Meanwhile the immortal is dealing 50 damage to the reaver per shot, at a much faster rate.

o.O

An Immortal can tank 10 shots from a Reaver, and then it still has a good amount of life. I don't see it losing in a straight up fight.

BW would still win, though, since the spellcasters would be overpowered as hell in the SC2 engine. Smart-casting storms with huge AoE? Plague?

Colossi - the most OP unit of all time (jk) - wouldn't stand a chance in BW-Land, with those Scourges flying around everywhere.

I'm in the camp that thinks SC2 would win in the early game all the time just because of the macro mechanics. Chronoboost/MULE/Inject larva would allow SC2 to get lots of early units to win the tier 1 fights and never let BW to get to their superior spellcasters.

As soon as BW got out some AoE, though, SC2 would be toast from unit-packing. You thought BW storms were good against BW units?

Oh man. Scourges would WRECK Colossi.

BW units a-moved into SC2 units would die.

I don't know about that. I'm pretty sure phoenix are better at killing scourge than corsairs with their 20 damage vs light and the ability to shoot while retreating. Colossi would be pretty safe from scourge assuming you controlled your phoenix well.

I don't think there is a clear answer between whether the bw races are better or worse than the sc2 races. There is lot of things to consider like how do you convert the damage types for medium size units? There are probably a number of odd timing rushes due to differences as well. For example, dragoons have 4 range until after their range upgrade while stalkers start with 6 range straight from the gate. Which shield mechanic would apply to each protoss? How would the high ground mechanic work between them? What about unit pathing? If units mechanics would default to as close to the original as possible, I think sc2 units would have the advantage (be it slight or otherwise) until some of the heavier hitting T3 spell casters came out. However, I doubt they would be able to survive until that point.

I think that we could transfer mostly everything.

And I think bringing BW units to SC2 would be easier than the other way around.

Medium could be considered the "nothing" in SC2, because it would not be either light nor armored.

That also means that damage types from BW units would either do full damage, or very little.

High ground mechanic should use BOTH. Miss chance and vision. That way to would be more fair, since otherwise BW units would be too screwed. Either that or don't have any high ground advantage at all.

About the unit pathing... Either we use BW maps with BW pathing or SC2 maps with SC2 pathing, because SC2 maps have many more chokes and points that would bug out BW AI.

About surviving the early game, I think the High Ground mechanics should help A LOT, coupled that BW defenses were awesome. Sunkens are.... OP. Photon Cannons did more damage, as well. Spider Mines were >>>>> Banes. Also Shield Batteries were excellent for defense. I imagine a couple of goons and a shield battery could slaughter something like 6 to 8 stalkers in a defensive position, or at least 4 in the open.

Erm...no. If you tried to micro phoenix against scourge you'd eventually have to back up to the point where your colossi are exposed. If 50 scourge a-moved into say 15 phoenixes, there's no way they will be able to stop them from reaching the colossi. If 50 scourge a-moved into 15 corsairs they'll all evaporate simultaneously.

The reason why corsairs were so damn strong was even though they do very little damage per hit, they have an incredibly high rate of fire and, most importantly, they do splash damage in a pretty significant aoe.

Corsairs>Phoenixes anyday in terms of utility and usefulness.

Zergling from broodwar would seriously rape the lings from starcraft 2. Broodwar lings were like wolves runnin and ripping everything apart. Starcraft 2 lings are too much like bugs:\

Mass baneling would win. Unless they have AoE snare or FF. Mass tanks could work vs mass banes if they dont spread.
