But maybe i'm wrong cause i've not been through the 38 pages of this topic, but what about replicating an SCV just for repair purposes ? Buildings, Stalkers, Colossi, Immortals, Warp Prisms, Phoenixes, Void Rays, Tempests are all mechanical and you can repair them. Edit : my bad it has already been said. I'm leaving this post here cause I think it's not been said enough  | ||

I know you could do this in bw, but it was a lot harder do to range < infinity. Yes but in BW you got a whole fresh new 200/200 supply for the new race you copied. Not in SC2. I don't see getting another race tech tree viable except if you're already miles ahead of your opponent | ||

Think about it, you open robo->obs->rep replicate the dt, send it to his base and kill him cuz he has no robo. DT is almost done just because of current game trends. Robo builds should kill dt builds pretty easily anyways. | ||

If you EVER see your opponent NOT going either Bio (Terran), mass gateway units (Protoss) or Hydras (Zerg), u just make a Voidray and an immortal. Now, the rest of your production is in MASS REPLICATORS! If you ever get attacked, simply look at your opponents composition, and make pure void ray or pure Immortal. And there you go. ezpz. Amirite. >:D? (No troll) I actually believe this is one of the reasons The Replicant won't make it into the game. | ||

Thing I'm worried about is that the Tempest also seems pretty situational and that means protoss may only have one commonly used new unit, the Oracle. In comparison I could see myself using most of the new Terran and Zerg units every game tbh. | ||

Use mules for mass gateway army of chargelot-archon. The problem being that when terran scout that you've made a 600/200 investment for a 3rd base, they just come kill you. Or send in a cloaked banshee and 2-shot your 200/200 investment before you finish building the command center. What then, do you spend 800/400 total on getting a command center? Heh, then the terran camps your third. I mean, protoss will be a lot more defensible because of arc shield...but not that much more. I think going SCV will be good, risky but good. The insane part about it is that it's almost like the replicant gives protoss another very expensive tech tree. Obviously you can technically do anything a terran can at that point, but it's not very effecient to go for much terran tech. Basically ghost tech is the real diamond there, then up to starport tech for medivacs and ravens. Perhaps siege tanks, but you have to consider that all of your terran units will be much worse than his because of upgrades, so i don't think tanks will be that worthwhile to try to produce. I don't think replicants will be OP. Powerful certainly, but not overly so. 200/200 cost tanks just don't seem whorthwhile outside of just a few perhaps. Most of the casters are worth replicating, but with ghosts being such powerful anti-casters terran has a pretty good answer for whatever the protoss replicates. I don't think zerg has anything worth replicating other than the infestor, very worthwhile, but only in combo with templar. This seems like a ridiculously powerful combination, but so is viper/infestor. Protoss can replicate vipers, but i don't think it's near as good for us. | ||

Amirite. >:D? (No troll) I actually believe this is one of the reasons The Replicant won't make it into the game. That's just kind of silly. Even though both immortals and void rays are reasonably good, a 200/200 cost for them will leave you with a small army, even if it's tailored to your opponents armies weakness. A good player could shoot right through the army comp. Edit: though now that you mention it, it does seems like there would be some crazy 1 immortal+2 replicated immortal timings that would be really hard to stop, it would be really fast and with fast immortals and zealots, i don't know what terran would do to stop it. 1 base mass marine maybe? but if protoss sees terran go early expo and started with a quick robo, it seems like this would just kill them outright no matter what. @ iksf Yeah, technically this unit will be situational, because you need to wait for terran to make a ghost, or for zerg to make an infestor...lol. I promise, if it stays at a reasonable cost/technical ability this unit will be used by pros often. | ||

You would be better off in the long term dedicating yourself to an specific tech tree instead of going down the the one size fits all route. | ||
