Another stretch, yes. I think this time, I'll say Warp In is a factor somehow. Something like that, I guess. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Pawn- Zergling. Agree. Knight- Mutalisk. They just avoid all these obstacles and jump right into the fray. They'll harass you then just jump right back into safety, their presence alone limits your play. Bishop- Roach. Their range of attack is limited but are extremely powerful given the right circumstances. Rook- Ultralisk. You don't want to mess with these. Take one out and you'll have far better chances. Queen- Queen. An extremely important unit and will put you far ahead if you snipe one. Also, Brood Lords aren't mobile, silly. King- Overseer. Doesn't engage in battle but you need it in the late game. For Terran: + Show Spoiler + Pawn- SCV. They are the foundation and they also have a second purpose in the late game. Knight- Reaper. Agree. Bishop- Hellion. I'll sneak in, do some damage then sneak back out. It's not a big loss if it's killed but it has the potential to wreak havoc, especially if the opponent doesn't see it coming. Rook- Siege Tank. Long range support, beefy unit, pretty big investments. These protect your other units. Queen- Banshee. Annoying, mobile and extremely powerful. Battlecruisers aren't mobile, silly. King- Thor. Agree. For Protoss: + Show Spoiler + Pawn- Zealot. Agree. Knight- Stalker. Agree. Bishop- Dark Templar. You are willing to sack this unit for the greater good. Best application of this unit is to go in and snipe something valuable. Rook- Void Ray. Set one up, prepare it and it becomes ridiculously powerful. The later the game is, the more useful this unit is. Queen- Mothership. Can you kill her? If you can, you should be pretty far ahead. She protects any unit around her as long as the opponent doesn't have appropriate countermeasures in place. King- Archon. Powerful, has limited capabilities and hard to kill. | ||

I like some of these a lot better than my own. | ||

On that note, I'd rather have Selendis as the Protoss Queen. Mothership is pretty general/bland. Yes, I'm Protoss-favored. | ||

Pawn: Bitbybitttttttt! Knight: reaper, it hops Bishop: Ghost, is mobile, sneaky but is bad in fight. Rook: tank, castling protects the king. Queen: Tychus, it's about time. King: planetary fortress. Can barely move, but anything that gets close dies instantly. Planetaries cannot kill planetaries without dying first, just like a king can't capture a king without dying first. | ||

Yes, I'm Protoss-favored. Heroes are a good idea, but they'd be taking away places for units that are worth representing each race. If I went with heroes, I'd have Zerg: Queen- Kerrigan. King- Leviathan. Terran: Queen- Nova. King- Mengsk/ Raynor. Protoss: Queen- Zeratul King- Selendis. Why Zeratul for Queen? I'd much rather enjoy kicking ass with Zeratul while defending Selendis. | ||

-Zergling, Reaper, Stalker Knight: Insertion unit used mainly to get passed defenses -Mutalisk, Medivac, Dark Templar Bishop: Long range "trick unit" used mainly to circumvent Pawn walls. -Baneling, Siege Tank, Phoenix Rook: Defensive siege unit used mainly to gain checkmates by being the anvil to the hammer. -Broodlords, Thor, Immortal Queen: Penultimate unit used mainly as the backbone of offensive strikes and is normally the "hammer" of a checkmate. -Ultralisk, Marauder, Colossus | ||

Rook: MMA The guy you bring out last to get the checkmate Knight: Ganzi The guy you send out to do the dirty work Bishop: Ryung The Sniper Pawn: Min Because Boxer realized that he had 3 Terrans and a toss alone. | ||

Queens are banshees tbh, mobile and all. Kings are more like Ravens? lol. THeyre super slow and have terribad attack capabilities, but a very important "piece" in the army Tanks are more analogous to Rooks cos they have "long" range, and cant attack pawns in certain "melee" situations. | ||
