    Yeah but while the Zerg would waltz on their way to attack somebody, a Protoss player could have a Phase Prism ready and just teleport into the Zerg base and fly a Mothership there too and whack the Hatcheries and Drones. And the Humans could just Nuke the place many, many times...

    Actually, I've always thought of it as the Zerg having cheap, weak units but superiority in numbers, the Protoss having very powerful and expensive units but of reduced numbers, the Terran being in the middle but having full strategic superiority and adaptability and, if it comes to this, the Xel'Naga having the most devastating spells in the game.

    But it's also balanced by the price cost... so maybe they'll just increase that? In really late game though, that wouldn't remove that unbalancedness so much though... though the Zerg being weaker per unit would help a long way...

    The essence of the game is that it had three completely different races that all-in-all were perfectly balanced. I find the idea of a game that has four even more completely different races that are just as perfectly balanced a pretty close match.

    ("perfectly" is a little strong, but you get the point :p)

    It's certain that all units will have a cap. We are speculating that the Zerg might have a higher cap than Protoss so the sheer massive amounts of units would compensate the Protoss mothership.

    OR the Zerg's new mothership-like unit would be similar to Guardian, but instead it'll attack by spraying out the highly corrosive acids inside a scourge.

    Guys, the mother ship may not be in the real game, it didn't appear on protoss units on the starctaft 2 website. I hope it is though.

    Well neither did things like the Phoenix, and the err.. Warp Ray... and maybe some others too ... oh yea... what are they called, the War of the Worlds kinda ... long-legged fly kinda... stepping over cliffs kinda... well you know right? Crap, what are they called...

    Anyway, I do think they'll be available in the regular game...

    No, it's not certain... is it? Blizzard talked about the removal of the cap... in that interview. Or do you know something we don't?

    I also wonder how that removing of the cap will work...

    Of course they'll be available, they wouldn't show a new unit in a gameplay vid and then decide not to put it into the game.

    I dont believe the zergs or terran will have theyre own super unit. The mothership is strong but it should cost much so its buildable at end of game battlecruisers can easily take out motheriship whit yamato gun, Zerg whit scourges. If she use black hole it will eat all energy so the mothership will be good to counter...So u can kill it..Dont worry it wont be overpowered cuz blizzard will definatly make a balanced game

    yep, we should trust blizzard to balance it out. they know what they are doing!

    And removing the cap will be very strange.... you could amass anything then? Like 100 colossus!?!

    So many people complain about WC3's unbalancedness, and i agree, even though i dont play it much.

    I don't think WarCraft3 is unbalanced at all.

    I don't think we have to worry about the Mothership being too powerful, I mean it's abilities do look really cool and all but the gameplay vid showed that it can be taken out because they gave it extra energy to showcase all of it's abilities. In a real game it wouldn't have been able to do the Black Hole and the Battlecruisers would have taken it out.

    Yea but some people mentioned a possibility of it being available in Campaign only, like a hero or something... I don't believe that though...

    Me neither...

    But protoss has other units making it uneven still. Atleast so far.

    I don't agree, and even if it's true it's not worth mentioning since it'll change anyway... they only showed one unit from the Zerg, well two if you count the Nydus Worm, so okay two, and a lot more from the Protoss, but that's no reason to go saying they're underpowered or something... they just haven't been shown as much yet.

    Yes, but those we're 3 nukes and also, it lost a large part of his shield/hp in the whole movie before that. So maybe it would be able to take one.
