Why d you guys put so much importance on a simple phrase like that? It could be that it's a new term to him or it could be a word slip - either way it's not stupid..

Terran tech units rape protoss tech units in SC as well tho (ie tanks/vultures out-perform zealots/goons). | ||

First Terran produced unit is the marine with 40 hitpoints and 8 damage with a 50 mineral cost and 1 supply.So yes, protoss = strong but expensive philosophy. Oh, btw I wouldn't use the battlereport to make any definite conclusions of the strenghts or weaknesses since the players suck balls and just as well could had missmacroed the units horribly and the fact that the balancing will get done during beta, not during alpha. | ||

It isn't clear when a unit dies in SC2. | ||

I'm really hoping their game was pre-planned. Perhaps tanks would in fact allow a terran to turtle, as opposed to just massing mauraders and those bikes to match the protoss army all game. The small battle after small battle didn't seem that fun to me at all. The watch towers seem horribly imbalanced for a game like starcraft (not to mention reeking of WC3). If they were in brood war it would always be zerg getting them over protoss over terran, since map control is race dependent. At least map-makers wont have to put them in. The transporting CC will obviously be countered by putting a min patch or doodad down on every island expansion. I'm trying to base judgments on both the video and the recent playable builds, but it's still really hard to tell because we don't know if the battle was scripted or if the players are bad. Either way, there are some pretty noticeable problems with the game. | ||

I demand mineral patch on those islands... unfair IMO Not going to do anything unless the whole island can't be landed on. Scvs can be loaded into the command center now... Also, it seems like the ability to warp units in next to a pylon is a bit strong. But I guess gateways need to be upgraded into warp gates... | ||

Only concern is the speed, like many already said, it looks a little bit slow right now. | ||

I think it makes sense to point it out. For viewers who aren't familiar with Starcraft, or at least not the competitive side. Also, the use of 'proxy pylon' in SC1 is different than here because in SC1 you are more focused on what is going to be built after the pylon: proxy robo, proxy gate etc. and not the pylon itself. edit: Currently it does seem a little too good. Amazing mobility and map control with that pylon. Perhaps pylons should require an upgrade to a 'Warp Pylon' or something to be used with warp gates. It doesn't have to cost hardly any resources either, just a significant amount of time so it gives the opponent a greater chance to find it and take it out before it comes into play. | ||

Well, the loading SCVs doesn't affect the effect of a mineral patch, just make it like the Python corners, just enough rough terrain that's unbuildable so the CC can't land. | ||
