Does this mean there'll be bigger pools of zergling blood now that the Battlecruiser has that plasma injection thing? | ||

I am both happy and unhappy with this. I actually like thor, love the new ghost. I hate the maphacks given to terran and I especially hate all these damn addons. Just seems completely uncessary, adding something just because someone in the development team had a new idea it seems. | ||

AoE is Age of Empires (its a proper noun, thats why the A and the E are capitalized) aoe is area of effect people who use AoE but mean aoe are being misleading | ||

Edit: Also, why the *constant* changing of names? Yamato cannon -> plasma injector? Change the effect, (AoE instead of a deathbeam), but no need to change the name... | ||

Also consider the fact that Protoss has to get in range to strike Terran forces, so simply place your mines where Protoss would halt his units in order to attack (that's early-mid game, no observers, unless there's some good way of killing them^^). I was thinking it'd be fairly advantageous to Protoss because they could just run past, but your point sounds good. Maybe they are intended for the early-mid game and not necessarily for after (at least as far as the Terran push is concerned). I really am dying to see these in action... going to be interesting. How will zealot shuttle drops on tanks work with mines around them? The zealot has to hold position for 2 seconds before the mines go off? Will the zealot live that long? I'm assuming the mines will still hurt friendlies. And actually... i wonder if vulture tank is going to turn into marine, reaper, mines, medic, cobra, tank? Shuttle drops may be out if marines are there to AA. | ||

also, from the 1st screenshot, it seemed that the lings werent attacking the submerged supply depots, does that mean that theyre not attackable when theyre underground or does that mean that with attack move, units will ignore submerged supply depots? and as for the cobra, will it have a speed upgrade like the vulture, if thats the case, that thing will own with the proper micro, no need for patrolling. too bad it doesnt have mines though. and the reapers mines... wtf, mines are supposed to blow up when someone walks over it, not blow up nonmoving things. i mean it is good that itll let you plant em near minerals so youll blow up workers too, but not working against moving units is retarded. | ||

Also nice for popping HT. HT: "Cast Psionic Storm!" *head aslpode* Announcer: HEADSHOT ghost: keke also, from the 1st screenshot, it seemed that the lings werent attacking the submerged supply depots, does that mean that theyre not attackable when theyre underground or does that mean that with attack move, units will ignore submerged supply depots? I prefer that my lings target enemy units that can shoot back over buildings. | ||

The models are great, but they all look super-shiny like plastic pieces, and the textures on the models, especially with the closer look, look like it's done by Hasbro instead of battle-hardened units and buildings in an epic struggle. I agree. | ||

also, with the new phase prism acting as the transport for protoss, are they taking shuttle micro out altogether? | ||
