Follow it up with a racial bias Also i dont think you need to watch that movie in slow motion several times. Its pretty obvious that the replicants are not at melee range. And yeah, there was probably an observer nearby. But so what, its not like protoss never uses observers to get vision on high ground. And you could do the exact same thing on low ground without an observer but with *insert random protoss unit* giving vision. So i think the replicant could be a very strong unit. Doesnt have to be though, depends on its cost etc. I never said anything about melee range, I thought of the fact that a siege tank actually can shoot further than it's own LoS, and I didn't really expect the replicant to have an insane LoS. That's what I'm wondering, at the moment - in the video there's only LoS on the whole screen, I didn't see an observer either, so I wonder exactly how big it's LoS is, if you can copy anything you can see even if the replicant is miles away, etc. | ||

Have the replicants replicate either of the two, then just attack with a mass of them and not allow opponent to react Then he makes Marines... Darn. | ||

It's hive tech. You have no excuse for not having detection out by then. If they are massing up loads of them to kill your mineral lines they will have insufficient vespene gas for other units to defend your inevitable push | ||

On the upside, looking forward to winter maps & terran mech. What's the idea behind the ghost cloak change? | ||

But it means that if the Protoss player want to use it in that fashion then they are not going to be using many if ANY chronoboosts on unit/research production. Not only that, but say you see an army recalled on top of your mutalisks, what do you do? Fly away. The same as if you would when you encounter blink stalkers. Then what? That nexus has lost 75/100 energy and they can't recall to that base again for ages... I don't think it negates muta harrass, just changes the nature of it somewhat. | ||
