Should work. If you NP a Probe and build a Nexus, you can Chrono Zerg buildings.

Like I said, it's just a thought as this is possible units replicators can replicate thread. Not viability thread. | ||

Do you have to scout what you want to replicate first? Or is it simply that if it's on the map, you can build it? Because if it's the latter, I'd gladly pay 200/200 and leave it unreplicated, and I'd have an exact picture of any tech switching that my opponent was doing. Knowing when the first medevac shows up, when the first viking shows up, when the Colossus pops, and when Infestors start showing up is all going to be a huge amount of extra information. Why even bother with observers other than for detection when I can do all this from the comfort and safety of my base? | ||

This is coming from a Protoss player who is concerned about needing to use other race's units, but not wanting Protoss to be viewed as broken again. But, then it'd hardly be useful. I mean, they cost 200/200, which is really expensive. If they had energy like that I doubt I'd ever get them. | ||

It's an unlimited range targeted spell, so you need vision of the unit you want to replicate. | ||

If you get them early, they still have time to build up energy, plus if they start around 75 energy, you can still cast almost any spell in the game right away from spawning. Plus you can use them to get spells that the other player may not even have yet, so they still have plenty of utility, but if they all start with 200 energy, the unit will most likely be ridiculously OP. | ||

Robo vs 3 gate blink stalker? Yay I have blink too. Robo vs stargate? Well my vrs cost 50 gas instead of 50 mins. But I also have more units available. You go templar? Well I also do, but I was going robo before and still I have storm at the same time like you. | ||

Maybe that will finally make Blizzard realize that MULE's are a bit OP. | ||

I misread the original post. My mistake. This is not a bad idea. | ||
