    At the very least the Planetary Fortress would be a good upgrade for expansion sites.

    I somehow doubt it will have too much offensive applications. If you take into account the cost for a command center, the cost for upgrade, long ass build time for the CC, and the time for upgrade. Hardly sound like a good offensive strategy.

    I second the Fenris name. Loki or Odin would be better than Viking as well.

    ...If Supply Depots can submerge will they be still targetable? Hm.

    That'd be interesting if they kind of acted like a Zerg unit with Burrow but if you destroy it's hatch, the Supply Depot is forced to come up so it can be normally targeted.

    I dont think thor will be that powerfull, only becuase of what blizzard has done in the past with super units. The ultralisk is supposed to be the most powerfull ground unit in sc1, but we all know how bad it actually is. The same goes for the battlecruiser, its the ultimate air unit, without being ultimate lol.

    also, i predict the fortress will have a powerfull(non splash) attack that has a cooldown about as long as seige tank in siege mode, so that it cant be assaulted by things like collosus, but is quite vulnerable to large groups of zealots

    I agree with you GuiMontag.
    Most likely, Thor will work similiarly to the Ultralisk in terms of use. In that, it is a powerful Tier 3 unit. After learning all this new Terran toys, it just seems that the new Terran are really going to dominate the ground force once again. Marines have improved HP. Not to mention, we have to new Reapers and the returning Medics. M&M's + Reapers are going to be back in full force making the new Terran infantry very deadly. Then, we have the siege tanks. Combined Siege tanks with Thor late game, and I can small something that is going to be very hard to counter.

    And the Planetary Fortress will probably be something like you mentioned GuiMontag, in that it fire a powerful and damaging weapon but with a slow cooldown rate. That means, swarms of units will basically overwhelm it. But combined with units + bunkers, the new Terran base is going to be very tough to take down. Not to mention the new Supply depots that will turn walling in into a whole new level.

    are you serious?? You obviously have no idea how the system works, magazine companies pay thousands of dollars to get exclusive footage to get people to buy their magz, all the pictures and footage that has been taken and put online is pretty much illegal and has nothing to do with blizzard

    i dont think so. the archons is the most powerful unit in sc1 ground or air.

    i tried to fight all units in a map i made. the archons beat anyone one on one even the ultralisk. the archon can beat a battlecruiser without using its yamato.

    I have always played Protoss just because I thought they were the coolest...despite the fact that they are the hardest to use and I'm a n00b

    but these scans are making me want to break tradition...

    Meh. The DT and Temp look a little ridiculous IMO. They look completely out of place in comparison to the Zealot and Immortals etc. That def is a WIP if not, god help us all, we'll have another Command and Conquer Generals art-attack.

    The one thing there that made me get wet in the drawers though was the Thor. I love terran, and I love this new bad ass mech. Mech's were def in short supply in sc1. Nice to see two more implemented. my only question would be, is the goliath being replaced? Or is it making a return?

    Do u think the DT will be able to throw that scythe of theirs? That would be pretty wild
