What came to mind for me right away is that the Nexus seems to have a button to build another unit besides the Probe. I also started thinking about the fact that the classical blizzard map, tankability and all, might not be so imba now, what with all the extra mobility. Terrans have Reapers, Protoss have Stalkers, although the Zerg dont really have anything like that yet.

[ChimTheGrim21]

Stalkers can't move up a cliff without line-of-sight.. I don't think.

[3Vee]

Zerg have Nydus worms. Also LOS, but definitely not bothered by cliffs as far as I know.

[DarkMirror]

I suppose.

Reapers can move up cliffs without vision.
Stalkers cannot.
And Zerg Nydus Worms need vision, although both this and the need for creep are negated by Overlords. There is the problem that it takes time to build them though, which makes them less effective against Seige Tanks.

[Protogod]

I saw these videos a day or two ago, but I thought otherwise because hey seemed so goddamned boring (and the music! blah!)

[RavenCrusade]

Darkmirror, I noticed that button two, but I assumed it was either an upgrade for the Nexus (i.e like BW's Hatchery to Lair upgrade) or an add-on, similar to Terran buildings. That's just judging by the icon, though.

[Faiien]

Yes, the music leaves much to be desired indeed.

[NoobOfLore]

The repetitive msuic=Annoying.
Anyway, I think that the toss are looking good, and also I like the way everything is animated and such. Everything looks natural and pleasant. No severe scale burps, or regular annoying aesthetic problems. Looks really nice, as far as I can tell.

[Zoar]

that button is to build Motherships once u have warped in a Fleet Beacon

[DarkMirror]

Source?

[masterofhobbiton]

He's right.

From a review on SC-source:

Concerning the Mothership, it's pretty much useless. It comes with all its abilities fully upgraded, but since you build it from the Nexus, you'd have to go all the way across the map to get into your enemy base. Which wouldn;t be a problem really, if it wasn't so ridiculously slow. It's probably slower than a Reaver in BW, except you can't load the mothership into a transport unit to make it go faster.

He was talking about in the 20 minute games though, hopefully building from nexus won't be a problem when it's untimed.

[PaiN]

Hmm.

Units are no longer rallied to mine (notice how the player was selecting units out of nexus and manual having them mine) which is something I like

[Vezer]

Perhaps he just didn't rally them?

Good vids, sorta boring though.

[PaiN]

Id be surprised that he didnt rally them...dont see a disadvantage

[masterofhobbiton]

WOAH!

Did anyone notice that in the video, the Nexus has the toss advisor portrait but the pylon has a pylon portrait??

[gamer102]

WOAH!

Did anyone notice that in the video, the Nexus has the toss advisor portrait but the pylon has a pylon portrait??
yep, awesome isn't it? I like the protoss, prototss R leet.

[masterofhobbiton]

I wonder how far they'll take this... Hmmmm, the barracks could have marines chilling inside for a portrait and have voice acting and stuff...

[WhatIsStarcraft]

And the factory have robots like the ones that make cars today ;)

[HazzaDaShiz]

I quite like the auto mine if rallied to crystals, to be honest.
Didn't watch this for a while, so I thought people were just complaining pointlessly about the music. But it actually does suck heaps.
Like the look of the zerg, but we don't see much in either of the videos, just small fights.
