they might be both female and male ghosts in-game as well.

Look at AoE. They had both male and female citizen workers, still no difference between em

No female ghost units, but Nova will be a hero ghost. I hope heroes will have abilities that aren't in multiplayer (like 1 per hero), that would make replaying the campaign more interesting...

What is a Specter? Is it a Ghost in training or something like that cuz they never mention that word in the book

This thread sucks.

It is not just about the speculation, more with the nonsensical way that you presented it.

it would buff the terran quite a bit
maybe the male would have lockdown and female would havenuke/ cloak and have diffrent stats to even it out, but if you think of it that way, then 1 gohst could their entire amount of energy dedicated to lockdown and the other completly dedicated to cloak, the cost might go up or down or whichever blizzard wants it to, but having more than 2 spellcasters in a race would buff it, and the pros who play terran would obviously dominate because they have enough micro and knowledge to use spellcasters to the full extent.

its the same way as if zerg would use defilers lots or toss would use dark archons

i saw a video on youtube where a defiler was being attacked by a wraith or something and ds where he was made some unit i couldnt what, consumed it and darkswarmed all the way somewhere, but kept it alive. i lolololed in my pants casue it was brilliant, although it took lots of time and micro away fro mthe rest of the game. but still. it was sweet.

i think sc2 should have a single ghost, like AoE, they could be diffrnet genders generated at random, but would do the same stuff.

When was gender ever an issue in the game? All units could be female and it wouldnt make a difference, so I dont see why you even expect a discussion out of this thread.

Specter is exactly a ghost... cept different name or some trivial details. Iono why they use 2 different word for the same thing though haha, but then again there's a lot of words like that... for instance.
Encyclopedia vs Dictionairy, similar things, diff names.
Or say you can use
"Asking" or "Questioning" or "Inquiring". Slightly different things with different words expressing them.

But hmm let me look for a formal definition.

spec·ter (spĕk'tər) pronunciation
n.

1. A ghostly apparition; a phantom.
2. A haunting or disturbing image or prospect: the terrible specter of nuclear war.

vs

ghost (gōst) pronunciation
n.

1. The spirit of a dead person, especially one believed to appear in bodily likeness to living persons or to haunt former habitats.
2. The center of spiritual life; the soul.
3. A demon or spirit.
4. A returning or haunting memory or image.



Same thing eh? Except see how ghost is more spirit/person/haunting in the after life/memory connotative, while specter is more visual/image/projection connotative.

Like I saw my mother's ghost. Means that ghost has some personality or the like, while if you say "I saw random specters in the grave", it merely means you saw some ghostly thing that has no emotional/personal attachments to you, but they just appeared for visual side kick.


Okay I shouldn't be doing this bye library time.

/sarcasm mode on

lets give every unit an adult form, a child form, and a elder form, then give each form the option of being male and female

In the recent 1UP interview it was hinted the possibility of Ghosts being of both genders in-game. This, of course, brings Nova to mind. Do you think Nova will somehow feature into SC2? (Just like how Thrall from Lord of the Clans' storyline went into WC lore).

Also, this picture here shows a female Ghost behind Arturus. My thought is that SC2's Ghosts will remain as males, but campaign-wise female Ghosts will feature as Specters (advanced Ghosts introduced from SC:G lore). If I'm not mistaken Nova of SC:G is being trained/already is a Specter.

Your thoughts?
