Okay so I know there aren't going to be heros. There aren't going to be hostile creeps. No point in items. But what about mercenaries. In WC3 there are neutral mercenaries that can help you a lot if you lost a unit producing structure, or you felt like adding some variety. I wonder if they will do this. Also, this way they could get hybrid units into the game with out having to crate an entire race and break the Rock-Paper-Scissors that exists with the Zerg, Terran, and the Protoss. Tell me what you think and any ideas for such units. :good:
Well there would be no Zerg mercenary units, there would probably be no Protoss mercenary units what with their honor and such. So, all the merc units would be Terran. Also, Zerg would rather just infest them and Protoss wouldnt hire mercenaries what with their honor and such. So, it would just be terrans hiring terran mercs. But then why use mercs when you have a trained army? So, it doesnt seem plausible.
Remember the Protoss aren't the Khala based ones. The Dark Protoss, or the renegade sect of Protoss are more "evil". Many of the new Protoss are of the evil variety, as you can tell. However I doubt their will be mercenary units, this is Starcraft II, not Warcraft IV.
We already have mercs in the SC universe (Allen Schaezar or whatever), so I don't think it's a stretch. I can't see the Zerg hiring them, but the Terrans and Protoss totally. The 'ross would hire them because (A) they don't want to lose their warriors (Each Zealot is a sacred warrior), and (B) because they've recognized the diversity and tenacity of the Human race.
Well think of it this way. The UD hire them in WC3 and the ar trying to rid Azeroth of life. I don't think there has to be any reason for it. It coud just be used in melee.
and who syays the mercs hve to be terran? they could be martian. They don't have to come from a race. Ogres and razormanes and stuff are mercs in WC3.
Yes but creating some new race in StarCraft just to make some mercs is rather dumb. Also, Dark Templar are not evil, they just didn't want to follow the same religious Khala thing. Thats like saying Protestants are evil for breaking away from the Catholic church. nice double post wuffle...
OMFG YEAH YEAH I GOT ANOTHER POST IN YAY! Dude I don't really care about minerals or powerlevels or whater. I just posted, go an idea, and posted again.
your point... the protoss aren't evil. it's like the church and "heretics". they were the kind of protoss that ended up saving the opposing ones
The Protoss stand for honor. The dark Protoss use any means necessary to win, including treacherous technology, that the Khala "good" protoss would be against. Again I was just archetyping them as being "evil", they are just a different sect, but they do stand for less virtuous combat styles.
