    Do you think we should have more heroes/characters that you hafto kill?

    Like you hadto kill Edmund Duke and poor Fenix (He was am amaing charactor when he was a zelot).

    But they dont hafto play as much of a role in the game like they did.

    Becouse Edmund Duke wasnt the only General in Arcturus Mengsk army.

    So it would be cool if someone elce poped up hear and there and when you was playing as Jimmy you hade to kill him and destroy the base to weaken Mengsk's defence for the next attacks.

    And the person you killed isent a huge character in the game but is enough to effect a small part in the game when agenst Mengsk or who ever you are agenst...

    Like when you hade the choice to destroy the nuke silos or science facility physics labs it made a diffrencs when attacks Mengsk's base in BroodWar.

    Well there it is and if you understand that tell me what you think.. :wubclub:

    Probably since we'll be playing all three races, and apparently there's multiple ways of getting to the end according to the first campaign demo.

    I think that more hers that can be killed is a great idea. in BW the Heros were just guys you put in the corner b/c they can't die. I think you should have like miniheros to use in the campaign so it feels more like a real battle with a leader that can die, but is more powerful than a normal unit.

    I hope there are lots of minor heroes to kill.

    It doesn't feel right destroying a Dominion base if I don't get to kill its commanding officer and badass sergeant major.

    I'm sure as you play through the campaigns, there will be people to kill. Plenty of new antagonists being added to the story, with large roles in lore, that need to be killed, etc. It wouldn't be very hard for new characters to be added in, so it's definitely a good possibility =)

    A neat character would be some slippery sonuva***** who held influence through regime changes. He was a commander in the colony army, when the Confederacy took over he was promoted, when Mengsk took over he got promoted again. You waste his base the first time and he escapes. The second time he enters a battlecruiser to get away and you have to kill him to win the mission. You lose if he passes the west edge of the map.

    I think that that would be more demanding if you have to kill the "hero" asap because in most campagains, all you do is stockpile lots of bc and other units and mass the enemy.
    but you'd also need like a wing of vikings defending!
    i wonder whether the comp is going to activly defend its "hero" or just be on its own.

    I think that youll command some "mini heroes" in the game... And you doesnt loose when they die, although it will affect your later missions. I saw you could choose what youll say in dialogs with other characters, so the story is different for each player and I think blizzard makes you choose the mission and some objectives... (kill the commander or capture him as example) and, if you should choose to sacrifice him, you wont loose...

    well i think it would be cool if you had heroes but it diffrent effect the story but it effect the game play. Like if you kill the heroe in the computers base it would make somethink diffrent in the next game or somethink like that... lol. But you dont get one all the time and they would be a bit stronger than a normal unit BUT they would work better with a big grupe.

    In the Blizzcon demo it was said choosing the mission where a chick's calling for help would get her added to your group as a new hero. I hate having to babysit a single unit though so hopefully heroes you pick up don't need to survive a mission for it to be successful.

    Yeah, I like the idea of having a chain of command in the opposing army, like you kill the Sergeant and the whole base is easier to kill because of the commander's death. And the mini heroes would have probably more hitpoints and if it was like a ghost, maybe more energy capacity to use for the abilities.

    Missions with the choice to destroy a building or kill a general etc would be good.

    I don't think all the heroes should have abilities though, the AI should be programmed to defend them.

    The Terran campaign, Wings of Liberty, will place players in a mercenary style campaign, as Terran rebel Jim Raynor upgrades his army through each progressive mission.
    The second release, the Zerg campaign Heart of the Swarm, will have RPG elements. The player will level up Kerrigan throughout the missions.
    The last expansion, the Protoss campaign Legacy of the Void, will have a campaign with diplomatic and political aspects. Each campaign should span 26-30 missions.

    meaning you probably have to protect the heros you pick up.
