Zerg had it made IMO. Grrrr and his gay muta rushes. Remember, cannons didn't insta-kill small sized units back then. It took more than 2 hits to kill a ling with a cannon. Mutas were small units too. Cannons did damage on the same level as dragoons, so mass mutas > everything except archons/templars/excessive scouts (that could only be used on island maps) Fortunately, they made mutas a lot more weaker in Starcraft 2. Other races get a lot of anti-muta goodies. | ||

If you could control the location of the whitehole, imagine sucking in a bunch of battlecruisers and spitting em out in the middle of a perfect ambush or in a far corner of the map where they are useless. Such spell could cost a lot less mana and be much more fun and tactical. I had the same idea, I hope they do something like this. | ||

There is mothership in 1(ONE) other game and that's why you want it removed?! The "mothership" concept is as old as sci fi is and is used in QUITE A LOT of movies and games. | ||

There is a CNC3 marine unit that has jump packs to jump terrain. Im not saying they are ripping CNC3 off because obviously this has been in development for years. Im just saying there are too many similarities to blow anyone off their feet. | ||

You missed there's also tanks, mind control, nuclear missiles, tripods, stasis, e.t.c. Why do you need starcraft 2 anyway, when you already have it P.S. Eggy-X17 -> Eggy-2.0 | ||

Fortunately, Zerg and Terran get equally good stuff. As they say 'equally different' and 'differently equal'. Zerg Nydus Worm: As of right now, it's designed so you have to upgrade to transport farther. It's counted as a 'building' and not a unit. There is currently one upgrade you can get for the building. After creating the Nydus Worm (IE going through the normal tech tree Pool -> Lair -> Worm), you're immediately given the ability to transport halfway across the map. After the upgrade, you can transport any where on the map. The Zerg is not going to have a 'mothership' like unit. It was discussed early on that they would 'emphasize' the strengths of each race while at the same time trying to maintain game balance. IE 'differently equal' The emphasis for Zerg is well, you guessed it, "rushing." Zerg is the race that can 'reach' out and attack quicker than say Protoss. To get a P.PhasePrism, P.Arbiter or T.Reapers, T.Shuttle it takes more teching like in the old game. Remember how Zerg can get "mass" transport (overlords -> transport) vs (arb -> upgrade -> transport); Zerg could get 'mass' transport faster. The same theory applies. They don't want to change the game at all. If any thing, I'd say the game is very similar to the old Starcraft just with different units and animations. NO I actually think Zerg Nydus/Nydus Worm system is something to rival the Protoss' new Gateway/Warp Gate technology (toss can warp units anywhere in pylon range) | ||

As for Protoss motherships, I think theyre fine, but I agree, Ive seen way too many "motherships" and "black hole creation" ideas in stories/movies, etc to believe that SC copied C&C3. | ||
