    Well if those bones are doodads, I guess they don't have to correlate to a specific unit, but they do look like the result of a nydus worm.

    Maybe they just seem out of place cause we can't see that shot in motion? If everything else were moving, etc., it might not command so much of our attention.

    Thanks for the heads up Seradin

    Have the Carrier lose his atk animation by taking his ring behind before it its Interceptors run out ?
    Is in the last image a animation defect or now can the Colossus burrow to be protected from ATA ?

    1) I am not sure what you are talking about with the Carrier. As far as I can tell, the Carrier's attack animation (or rather, the Interceptor's) is basically the same as it was in SC1, and has been since the Interceptor was re-introduced.

    2) There is no defect, the legs are there at their normal length, and above ground. It is just from a camera angle that obscures them with the "knees."

    Excuse me for my bad English. I would say about the animation before the Carrier launch the interceptors. (I talk about the animation where the ring in the carrier go back). In the first images the carrier have this , but in the new ones it have lose this.(In the main site carrier vs BC is the animation). Why the carrier strike with out to move the ring back.

    I've never noticed that before. Seems like such a minuscule detail to me that it shouldn't be a problem.
     
  8. That screenshot has been cycled to be my wallpaper countless times but I never noticed that :) Kudos!

    There aren't super units anymore.

    And no, make the Thor bigger again.

    No, they aren't super units anymore.

    They've been scaled back in thier power and you can now make multiples of them, like you can with any other unit.

    Really? I thought that while the Queen was made non-unique, the Mothership was once again made a "super" unit, of course with more balanced abilities.

    It's hard to keep up. :D

    Well lets look at the the heavy units
    for the protoss now is the mother ship, ultralisk for zerg (the queen isen't nearly as powerful and could be considered a economic unit with defensive abilities) , and the terrans get there battle cruiser which they all have 600 health respectivly.

    The thor is now scaled down to give it more playability and functions like a heavier goliath .

    Right now the Mothership is a one at a time per player unit. As stated by Cydra here

    We'll probably see the huge-huge-massive-really-too-big Thor in the campaign, or so Blizzard has implied.

    So if the Thor is "weaker" in power this unit should be reduced in its size too. Cause remeber in the first official Terran video the narrator said the Thor is a unit so large that we need a SCV to build it outside in the battlefield, not in a structure. I am thinking about the factory.

    Now Blizzard decided to build the Thor from the factory not to allow us to build 10 Thors simultaneously not to create an unbalnce toward other players, or the enemy.

    So .... if the Thor ... which was supposed to be bigger than a factory ... must be built inside it ... that means the Thor should get a tinier size to be able to be built from the factory.

    Well, they can make a unit of any size come out of anything... I mean, the Battlecruiser comes out of the Starport....
