Terrans getting less units than toss so far.

[DKutrovsky]

Protoss get 2 units to replace the dragoon, stalker and immortal, they get an extra robotics facility : colossus.

They get the carrier separated into two ships tempest and warp ray as capitol ships. They get the scout merged with the corsair into the phoenix. And they get star relic for arbiter + a new fansy shuttle.

Terran get reaper for fire bat. Viking for goliath. Banshee for valkyrie, nothing for wraith cobra for vulture and thor.

Anyone else feeling we got the shaft a little?

[Itsmyship]

All the units haven't been revealed yet dude. :P

[LJYLJ]

ye, and we are only a few days away from the launch...**** we need all units asap


..../sarcasm off

[SirBaron]

Meh, you have Thor. All you need now is Mjolnir, and you're up for some serious Giant-bashing.

Bad jokes aside, yeah, i was surprised they showcased so few units... hopefully they give something away due Blizzcon.

[DontHate]

ummm... the banshee is for wraith, not valk.

There has yet to be a portable detector unit for Terran in Starcraft II to my knowledge. So either they bring back the Science Vessel or they introduce a new unit, either of which will make Terran even with Starcraft I. If I made a mistake with my lists please tell me.

[capthavic]

::)

The. game's. not. done. yet!

[PancakeChef]

The game is not even in a internal alpha yet. Units are subject to change, added, removed, etc.

Thats quite a big assumption and speculation your making there.

They havn't even decided if the medic or firebat would come back for certain yet.

You can't determine what is balanced, unbalanced, how many units this and that has etc. When the game isn't even at alpha yet.

[AdmiralAckbar]

They could take units units out of the game as the game isnt that far along, pushing the unit count down. I dont see what theyre going to do for the expansion though, they cant add 2 more units to each race, there will be too many. I think thell add xel'naga as a fourth race for the expansion. The observer is in starcraft 2 as of yet so the protoss unit count is 14.

[Chris Benoit]

Oh, I haven't seen the Observer in any screenshots or anything. And I heard someone say that the Star Relic replaces the Arbiter and the Observer. Where did you hear about the Observer being in Starcraft II?

[Ghost]

ummm... the banshee is for wraith, not valk.


Yea, I think Vikings replace valks right?

[DontHate]

yea, but we aren't really sure. Their anti air might only be semi good, along with the anti ground. So far it only LOOKS like a valk.

[Ghost]

Oh ok, It would be logical to make them anti air as we already have banshees for ATG.

[DKutrovsky]

I know they can add more units or take units away, it just seems a bit finalized on first glance. I guess we'll just have to wait. I havent decided wether or not i want more units than SC1, thats blizz's decision of course but i still cant figure out if more units would be better, i kinda do want more units, but than i dont want too many :)

Im saying we might get the shaft because i dont see much room for additional units for terrans outside the science vessel.

The only really new units to terrans are the Thor, Reaper and Banshee.

Viking is pretty much a valk + goliath. Cobra is just a Vulture with no mines.

Blizzcon is close so we'll just have to wait and see.

[brc9210]

The Immortal is just a goon with an extra shield, Phoniex is just a scout with the sairs attack in the form of an ability, Twilight archon is so far just a remade archon so it equals out.

[PancakeChef]

They don't nessicarly have to keep the amount of units,etc similar to how it was in the first Starcraft either. Who knows they could add even more protoss units, and we still havn't seen all of Terran yet. We know aboustely nothing about Zerg yet as well.

At this point almost anything is possible unit wise.
