They appeared in a 8x2 grid so I think now you will be able to select at least 16 units at once. | ||

I'm almost positive this was the original design of the protoss back in 1995-96. They are getting back to their original design concepts and trying to make them work again. The idea is that the protoss are fewer in number, but they can teleport all over the place to make up for that. Warping in from their homeworld in SC1 via the various Gates was one idea of that, and Arbiters were part of it. Warping/teleporting without arbiters is just what they originally intended, I think. The stalkers are also in line with that thinking with blink. | ||

They appeared in a 8x2 grid so I think now you will be able to select at least 16 units at once. The official word is unlimited. 16 would be very nice compared to that IMO (I think when they selected those zealots before the battle vs lings, it was 16). | ||

I noticed that too and wondered if they are just allowing terran turrets to hit everything. I think the Colossi being tall is the best answer tho. | ||

The scvs need to bulk up a bit imo, look too small. | ||

New micro (as if I've played the game, but it'd be fun): when zealots are running in a line for a group of whatever (tanks), the ones in back are selected to attack the zealot in front so they charge up... you cancel the attack at the last second and they run past. Now do the same thing for the zealots that are now in back. by the time you get to the tanks you can charge again.  | ||

Yeah, but even if they wouldn't, it appeared as if 3 yamato's would take it down (after 2 yamatos - I think - it was in the red). | ||

I mwan in terms of the demos and pictures we have little idea of the maro details. Well, if you look at the screenshots it says that there's a max pylon support for 153 units.. I'm guessing that's a lot if they keep the proportions from SC. | ||

part 2: http://pcmovies.ign.com/pc/video/article/790/790166/starcraft2_direct2_051907_flvhighwide.flv (128Mo) I mentioned in the other post, but Ultras are in it! They appear on the load screen of the first part of the movie... around 16 seconds i think. part 1: http://pcmovies.ign.com/pc/video/article/790/790166/starcraft2_direct1_051907_flvhighwide.flv (134Mo) Also, probes are 2 per mineral patch exactly. It takes like 10 shots from a cannon to kill a reaper. About Four shots i think from a stalker to kill a reaper. | ||

I see a Terran Turret shooting a ground unit. This reminds me of the Starcraft boxart where the wraiths are using their missiles vs archons. | ||

X3 (I think) said on here that the Colossus is so tall that it can be hit by turrets (not sure if he said all anti-air, I'll try to find his post).

![[image loading]](http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/790/790131/starcraft-ii-20070519022301314.jpg) Here we see him in a hologram and a statue, and in another art piece hes standing with what appears to be a female Ghost operative. Doesnt seem like it could be Mengsk, so perhaps an aged Raynor or just another one of many new characters? Its only been 4 years after the events in Brood War though. | ||

This can be observed in the gameplay trailer when the Colossus scales a cliff to escape from the banelings, and turns around to fire its beam at the retreating banelings. The range of its laser is greatly increased. I don't think that's its true range. Even in SC, sometimes a unit may get into range of an attacker, and the projectile will follow it as it runs away, giving the illusion that the unit's range is much greater than it actually is. That situation was probably no different. To the person above: EDIT: Reference image: ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/ce/Arcturusmengsk.jpg) | ||
