Terrain Details

U guys think there are going to be trees? there are already bushes so trees might be put in there. but trees should work differently, like only little units can go in there and hide and travel, but not big units ground like thor, tanks, reavers, collosus...etc.

 

Trees are the best doodad pieces for any game, they add realism and atmosphere to the game. If anything, it would probably reduce the chance of your units getting hit by enemy projectiles. Also trees can be seen in StarCraft 2 screenshots such as this one at http://starcraft2.com/screenshot.xml?16. I will be damned If trees are not in the final game.

 

Trees will definitely be in the game. Also in the first game, small units, such as marines, lings, lots, and hydras, could hide behind doodads like trees and the solar panel things on space platforms to (I think) get a cover bonus.

 

Well in the pic I'm currently using as a background there are (what appears to be) trees.

In the lower right corner partially hiding the refinery.

 

I realize this is completely off-the-wall, but wouldn't it be interesting if the game included fruit-bearing trees/bushes that could replenish the health (albeit in limited amounts) of non-mechanical units?

It wouldn't necessarily be useful enough (then again, I could be wrong-the little things can make all the difference in the world in a game as complex as SC) to be used tactically, but it could be a nice thing to play around with.

 

That is an interesting concept but a bit silly as well .

I'm sure we will have plenty of great flora and fauna for the visuals part of Starcraft 2.

 

Kind of pointless, as Protoss don't eat... so thats already imba, and Im sure Zerg aren't interested in eating fruit rather than poor helpless SCV pilots.

Unless they gathered medicine from the Trees... which is also pointless because they have medics or regen or something.

 

fruit bearing trees. its nice to look at falling fruits from a tree. it will not affect the game just for fun.

ok only terran can eat it. like 1hp per apple. lol

and everytime the scv will eat they will say something.
