NP replicate another immortal and you stand a chance. I'm sure there is thousands of ways to use this. But I feel like this unti is going to be OP when people actually understand all his limits(or none) | ||

Thus if you really wanted to do this, you would have to kill all your probes and nexuses in order to replace them with MULEs and SCVs. | ||

But when you put your own nexus with a infestor you can mine to other races buildings and gas, it should be the same | ||

Workers can mine/harvest just fine on alien tech. Of course by the time you went robo > observer > replicant, you could already be too far behind after replicating worker then CC/hatch expand. But we'll have to see. It could work. It would be interesting to see zealot/marine/immortal in 1v1 go up against, MMM. I'm quite sure it won't be imba since the resources gathered would be essentially the same for both sides. The potential for interesting P game play is huge. | ||

PDD works on missiles only (corruptor/hydra/marauder/banshee/etc) Edit: This keeps getting repeated, sigh, replicated units are fully unlocked with full MP. | ||

They can implement some sort of code into the game to report back what type of units are being most replicated to fill the Protoss's composition. Then implement that unit in LotV and remove replicator. It's already at robo tech so it's fairly common. If this is what Blizzard's thinking, I have to say, it's pretty clever  | ||

If you can force a raven out from Terran using DTs + oracles + nexus recall, you'll have a huge advantage late game when raven protects your collosus from vikings and stalkers from marauders | ||

2. Fungal and AoE the same spot 3. ???? 4. Profit I play 2's with a friend and as a ZP combo. I can tell you now that Storm and fungal in combination is ridiculous! Imagine fungalling corruptors to keep your collossi safe, the possibilities are endless. Personally i think it should have a range, but i do like the idea of it, Protoss players talk about difficult tech switches, this gives you the flexibility to balance your army with the opponent alot quicker. | ||
