There are so many other points to consider that you just disregard by comparing it like that. What about the fact that if you replicate a siege tank it's not... in the middle of the other guy's army when you do it? What about the different tech trees? What about the fact that if you get a siege tank you start with siege mode or if you get a banshee you start with cloak? What about the fact that if he only has 1 banshee, you can have 3? What about the fact that this proposed replicant has unlimited range according to some guy a couple posts above me...? | ||

Any synergy that is worth 50-100 extra gas or minerals + 1-2 extra supply is something everyone will complain about and will be nerfed. you can repair protoss units, I don't think you can repair buildings though. I had a friend who thor rushed in a 2v2 and I went 1 base voids and his scvs repaired my voids. | ||

The only way I could imagine this working in a way that wouldnt totally fuck up the whole game is the following: - Replicating has range... like 13-15 sth that requieres to replicant to be around the army. - The Replicated unit will be on your side for a maximum of 30 rl-seconds. - Upgrades and everything is just like those of the enemy. - After the replication is gone the replicant need to recharge for around 10 seconds. Maybe u can make it cheaper this way The effect would be a unit that is not able to just build another race, because there has to be an SCV around all the time and it would take quiet some time to get a CC up and the enmy could do sth about it. (Zergbuildings have to stop hatching mb...) The replicant is more of a mirroring unit in the battle on which u cant base a strategy, because u have to make ure decisions quickly "near battle". This would actually requiere quiet some skill! Also it would have this "OMG" factor. When the player could suddenly change the battle with some sick unit/spell combinations, but it can also be a total fail, when the replicants are picked of before they can replicate themselves into sth usefull. This way the replicant could be a total win for the imo. | ||

If you have two replicants replicate dark templars, and then you morph them into an archon, will they produce a dark archon? If you replicate an infestor, can you neural parasite your own units? If you replicate a shredder, do you have to wait 8 seconds to deploy? If you replicate a shredder, can it fire even with nearby Protoss units? If you replicate a carrier - nevermind. If you replicate a ghost and the enemy Terran player has a nuke constructed, do you get to fire his nuke with your ghost? =) | ||

I believe the only biological protoss unit is the zealot, maybe the high/dark templars | ||

A replicant Banshee might also be able to do a ton of damage. Replicant Warhounds might be useful as counter to Ghost + Mech as Warhounds would be immune to EMP and would slaughter Battle Hellions. | ||

I'm pretty sure if you NP a probe or SCV (chained NP) you get a new supply counter for the new race? | ||

You have potentially a very late game 400 supply army in a 1v1! Or in a multiplayer game, 600 supply!? I'm pretty sure if you NP a probe or SCV (chained NP) you get a new supply counter for the new race? You don't. | ||

Additionally, one can only begin to consider the implications of Reactor Marine production with Chrono Boost or mass SCV's with auto repair to heal your Stalkers and stuff. People need to think a lot more out of the box than they already are. | ||
