it's a cool unit sure but i think it's not possible to have a balanced game with it , without nerfing it to the ground. | ||

Terran siege tanks could be worth it (but expensive) in some situations and probably some shredders to hinder T movement. Protoss only immortals and void rays as you said but they have no important upgrades anyway so it seems kind of pointless. In general this unit is only for timing pushes and harassement purposes and maybe defending those. The high supply and resource cost stops it from being any good at anything in my opinion. You only have a shot at harassing your opponent if he went for it himself, if he/she plays standard or macro you are behind with replicators. Either their build time is very good in combination with chrono boost for timing pushes and skipping some tech of your own or there is no point. | ||

Chill man... How is replicating an SCV/Drone any more imba than a ZP/TP team game that share resources perfectly , except that a P spent so much resources and chrono to rush observer and replicator? On site posters have already addressed the concern of having a 200+200 army. Total supply of 200 regardless of depots/overlord/pylons. Use depots as wall-in? Hilarious if a T opponent scout late and wonders why he's seeing depots walling off when he's fighting Protoss. Disastrous if against R. You can't nuke without a nuke (duh). Yes. Yes. Which part of "No Massives" is difficult understand? The cost of the replicator already balances most of it. 200/200 for a medivac? Ouch. 200/200 for sentry/HT/ghost/banshee with "free"hallucination/storm/cloak available? Ouch. | ||

I hope this makes it into the game, i.e. replicating a replicated siege tank and the replicant replicates into a ... replicant. You clearly have too much APM to spend. :p | ||

A replicated roach would have burrow AND tunnelling claws. Ergo, a replicated overlord would have both of the abilities and an increased max supply of 6, while consuming 4. The supply cap is an interesting one. I have a feeling the devs didn't think that far ahead. | ||

And I feel a bit sad now that the Mothership has gone. I want a Funday Monday situation where I get a Replicant, and get a Mothership, replicate an SCV and get the new Thor Cloaked bombardment! | ||

I have a feeling the devs didn't think that far ahead. Don't think it works like that. You replicate an overlord, and it will still be 4 supply, without granting you 6. Just as if you replicate a zergling, it won't be 4.5 supply, and if you replicate a marine, it won't be 5. (granting supply isn't an ability of the overlord, it just has a supply value of -6) But it would have drops and speed. I don't know if it would have creep dropping though, since that requires a lair, and it isn't an upgrade. | ||

Make it like the dark archon and you had to finesse your way into taking an SCV and shoving it in a transport Unlike you, I actually want to see Protoss go robo hatch expand into Zealot/Infestor/Colossus (and Terran equalivalent), SCV kidnap takes place way too late for it to be a viable BO. I've been waiting a decade already. | ||
