You want anti-drop? Recall on Nexus. GG

I'm actually really pissed off right now. I am guessing its good vs mutas if you have go a stargate opening. These changes are not really bad, they just don't make the game more fun.
P gets an upgraded nexus, Z get psuedo lurkers.

Can anyone confirme that thors are beein removed?

Lol shredder sounds useless except as mineral line bomb. Probably won't be powerful enough to wipe out a mineral line tho sooo....useless?

It's made up of nanobots. Meaning that's probably how it has the ability to shapeshift etc.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.
I was wondering about this myself. However my theory is that replicating a replicator produces Repli-Carter.

Nerf. Everything. oh. my. gawd.

The new "mine" is 150/150 and probably costs food ? It seems to me it's more a limited lurker than a spider mine...

Well it stomps mutas I'd imagine, but it's an expensive (and probably clumsy) capital ship that will exist only in small numbers - so either it'll suck, or blow mutas out of the game entirely. Kinda hard-countery.
I imagine vikings will still wreck it so not much to consider there :o

tempests are just boring compared to carriers. i wish they fixed carriers instead
noticed tempest only as a 75 sec build time. why couldn't they have reduced carrier build time? or increased movement speed?

Recall on Nexus. GG recall is definitely going to be at least 100 energy 4 chronoboosts that's like, 40 seconds off an upgrade or a little over 2 probes
but i guess that's better than actually being dropped

I vow not to change race when these changes are made. But the temptation shall be so annoying lol. Terran through thick and thin

Why build sensors towers and PF when you can have MULES and marines
