I have a question...

Does anyone think it would be a good idea if, say, different races could interact with each other if allied? What I mean is, say one team consists of a protoss player, a terran player, and a zerg player. Could the terrans use medics and SCV's to benefit (ie: heal) the other allied races? Or could zerg use consume on an allied race? I dunno, it might change the whole gameplay in terms of who you want on your team... Maybe this could be an option in the 'setup teams' area: check-mark the box if you want allied interation (or something like that).

 

Do you mean for Starcraft II? The consume skill is a little strange because the cheapest/ useless units is the zergling. It would be a little strange with that too though. Medics can already heal alied biological units automaticly. SCVs would probually not know how to repair something like a carrier seeing as it is not known in their mechanics and cannot find replacement parts. Sharing minerals would be neat and would add strategicness. Sharing units would also be a neat idea like changing your yellow medics to an allied zergs color, red. Then units will be less useless and won't be standing around doing nothing.

 

sure^^ hey thanx for the edit

 

I know what you mean, and other than consume, I think it's a great idea. It would be fairly stupid if those skills couldn't be used on a teammate. So Carriers are more advanced than an SCV can handle? It's mechanical. I'd be willing to look the other way while it repairs.

 

I don't like the idea. Every player for himself.

 

well the heal thing you're talking about already works, and it's funny to see like a medic heal a zergling. But also the consume thing maybe a bit cheap. You can just send in like 20 defilers and wipe out ur allies army without having to unally.

 

Well, if probes can't seem to fix a carrier then how will an SCV without any training. If the probe had the ability to repair carriers it would, I bet.

 

Not letting ablilities work on allies of a different race would kill alot of good strategies. Or at least let it work for a while and if some combination proves undefeatable let Blizz fire off a patch to stop Allied Abilities...
and then I will admit I was wrong. Ha.

 

I would like to repair the mothership too but that would be too imballanced...

 

Yeah, medic backed zerg was my favorite team strategy, so I hope it stays. Repairing allied stuff though? Only if it could be repaired in the first place. Simple...

 

You can repair allied terran.

 

But i think medic cannot heal SCV'S,, because they are made in Mechanical Machine ?

 

Well i hope so !!!

 

and the whole thing just blows up..LOL!!!

 

Heheh, its all like:
SCV: OMG WTF these protoss have such unadvanced technology how the hell are we supposed to get replacement parts we don't even make these things anymore.
*Opens door to power reactor and sees a bunch of hampsters running in their hampster wheels being hooked up to the power generators*

 

also wouldn't it be cool if you were a protoss or a terran and you raided an enemy's base through a Nydus Worm?

 

I don't think it works like that.. It didn't work for Starcraft I if you mind contoll a drone and research it all the way up to the top of the family tree and try to send some zealots through, it still won't work.

 

What self respecting protoss is gonna use some slimy zerg tunnel anyway.

 

Lol. I don't think it is a tunnel otherwise it would take just as long to get to the destination as walking ony except over obstacles.

 

I don´t WANT to know what it exactly is... But interracial synergies could be interesting they would be fun for Teamgames and encourage actually playing together. Sometimes it seems as if your allie is just that one guy you don´t attack...
