that is what we saw in the demos, if you look at the large game preview video (where he warps in a lot of stalkers and zealots) if you look at the right hand side when a warpgate is selected, you see a zealot, an immortal, and a stalker. They all have the cooldown animation (if you've played WoW or WC3) and they are all have the same duration

theres a screenshot of it in the "New Method of Protoss Production" thread, somone put it against a "move attack hold position" background so it was more visible

Well, it's not a uniform 30 seconds like you were implying. Each unit has a seperate "cooldown" rate before it can be built again.

"-If the Gateway is upgradet to the Warpgate. you can teleport every 30 seconds a unit in pylon range"

im quoting Xythos, who is translating from the german magazine, who i'm pretty sure got that statistic from blizzard

of course things could change by release, but thats what we know now

4 zerglings attack power diminshes after every 35 (?) pts of damage. This is not the case with zealots, wich remain at fullstrength untill they die.

Yeah but 4 zerglings have more damage per second then one Zealot.

to the OP, starcraft is the most balanced RTS ever created. There is no imbalance ok? Nothing is wrong with how things are, if you think there is anything wrong then you are a noob who should play war3. Seriously, we don't want sc2 to become war3- elf in space, ok? So STFU there isn't anything wrong and get that sand out of your vagina. Because Pvz is perfectly balanced in broodwar, and will probably be in SC2, we don't need any extra implementations to noobify the game.

Say the Colossus costs 400/200, but there is an upgrade for the unit which costs 100/100.
If you get the upgrade you can start building anytime with any funds, say it eats 10/5 (minerals/gas) every 3 seconds, so as long as you got 10/5, there will be building progress.
Or you can wait for money to flow in (400/200!!) to begin building.

Which would you do?

I was under the impression that in the gameplay demo they're using some kind of "cheat" to make the units build quickly, and that they actualy have a warp in animation akin to a Protoss building arriving. I think I read that somewhere, anyway.

That's probably my wonderful mind making up more BS though, so don't quote me on it!
