What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building?

After the state of shock of learning the new Terran units/Buildings in the latest Swedish magazine, it is clear that we know just as much for the new Terran unit/mechanic as the Protoss that were revealed at WWII. From the stuff that we know so far for the Terran, what are your favorites and why?

I personally voted for the Vikings because I think that it's a unit that is going to require a lot of skill to use effectively. (Similiar to the Stalkers). The concept just looks soo good and promising. I can imagine, the pros using these little gadgets to the extreme. It will probably be similiar to the Stalkers in that, if you are a pro and using it, it will earn some satisfying results.

So what are yours?

**EDIT**
New Banshee + Cobra added.

Thor.

A giant robot of death really epitomizes the Terran industrialization.

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

I took the boring route and went with the Supply Depot. I just think the strategic element that these babies add will be great, plus they look to be the least imbalanced of all the units.

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

you can't really tell imbalance in gameplay just by looking at the model of a unit (thor etc.) without knowing their stats and skills. thors maybe slow or not that powerful, can be counter etc.

wow! twilight archon vs thor vs zergs new ultralisk.

i pick THOR! behold the thundergod's wrath. maybe the thors fires lightning bolts or something.

Remember kehmdaddy, that Blizzard's recipe to balancing SC2 is to make every unit overpowered, but in the end, it balances out.

I remembered that day when Blizzard announced SC2 at WWII, and all we know were the new Protoss toys. I remembered everyone crying that the Protoss is going to be overpowered etc... that this is going to be too strong, and so on. I think you can probably still find that post somewhere lurking around. I even remembered myself mentioning that everyone should calm down, that this is SC2 not SC1. I also stated that I was sure that once Blizzard releases the new Terran toys, everyone will be like OMG OVERPOWERED.

I'm just surprised that there are no Zerg people complaining about the new imbalanced Terran and Protoss toys, haha. Then of course, once Zerg's new toys are released, the OMG OVERPOWERED will be here all over again, and then, people will realize that the game of SC2 is actually going to be balanced out due to all the overpoweredness units.

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

thats right. we are already in starcraft 2. new units. new structures. new dynamics and gameplay style for each races.new MANY overpowered units. new BALANCED overpowered units among the 3 races. equals a new balance gameplay.

hey thanks for the new info by the way Ych9. owerup:

thor and viking fighters! i hope its final.

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

Overpowering IS an important issue, because sc 1 had overpowered races. The only real question to me is which race will become the new pre-destined champion...for the first month, when said race's legs get cut off...

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

vikings. i watched the transformers movie 3 times, thent they incoperate it into starcraft. whats not to love?

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

I voted for the planetary fortress.. im hoping it'll be able to defend itself fairly well and have some spells of some kind making it extra juicy.

And the reason Zerg players aren't complaining about terrans/toss :sleeping: is because we know that we (zerg) will be the most overpowered of all 3, just keeping it on the down low for now (evil laugh)

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

d@mn you duran. ;D

yah i think they got the idea from transformers. why not make thor transform into thor tanks too. lol

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

lol transform into 18 wheeler

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

lester "sarge you just killed some poor mans dog"
sarge "its a zergling lester, smaller type of zerg. but that means... oh shit"
*hydras behind them*
lester "I love you sarge!"
*flashlight battery dies*

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

hit n run the hydras as well.

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

sounds like a plan. who needs a gun when you have a many ton (i dont want to guess at the weight) truck for ramming?

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

reaper 4 me i mean that unit just seems sweet to me

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

the thors must be heavily armored like the battlecruisers.
if thors also attacks air then mass them with battlecruisers in late games plus science vessel with defensive matrix on, surely this group will be hard to bring down.

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

you NEED supply depots. otherwise you'll be forever stuck at a low supply cost...unless you mass command centers. ( command centers DO give supply right? last time i check HQ buildings gave supply. )

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

they do give some supply but thats a bad idea uchiha :bad: lol

 

Re: What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building known so far?

I voted Viking Fighter for the same reasons as Ych9. The plethora of tactical potential is just oozing out of its ears. And it would surely be one of the units that would separate boys and men.

It's because we can just wait quietly because we know we will rock everyone's ass. We will break all of your little toys and push you over to fall on your ass and make you cry like babies. Fear the Zerg. Oh, and we will hog the slide and the swing, then grow up to later take your lunch money. We are Zerg.

This will only be in the beginning before things get ironed out. It won't matter in the long run. If you value your toys and lunch money, you better be Zerg.
