    You guys are actually worried about a flying fish bowl with the life of two Battlecruisers???

    Think of this: If they raise the Zerg unit cap by 50 to compensate, how many Scourges could you make from that? 100. That would be enough not only to kill the Mothership, but also th Protoss' air force. And you'll probably have 10-20 left off to make sure he doesn't make reinforcements. And 100 Scourges will probably be cheaper than a Mothership too. ::)

    100 scourges:
    25 X 50 = 1250 minerals
    75 X 50 = 3750 gas

    A mothership would definitely be cheaper than that

    Maybe the mineral values of the units will change as well, we just don't know! But still, I don't think Mothership is invincible, Blizzard have proven they are more than capable of making a balanced game. Although if I was playing against Protoss and I saw a Mothership coming at me I'm pretty sure I'd panic!

    There was already a Protoss/Dark Templar/Raynor alliance to destroy the first Overmind. Remember, if they make the Xel playable or not, there will still be some kind of alliance to stop it. However, if they do make it playable, that means they'll probably get a campaign which means we'll get to know their traits and motivations better and we'll get 33% extra awesomeness in multiplayer. My 2 cents...

    Bah, I still doubt that any races except Zeratul + Raynor (maybe + Mengsk) will be benevolent enough to form any kind of alliance.

    Ok, not cheaper than a Mothership, but definitely cheaper than an entire Protoss fleet. I did make a good point, though, right? Right??? :'(

    Unless of course they nerf the Yamato Gum, making a whopping 8 shots to kill one.

    Lol, Yamato GuM^ :)

    The Protoss in general have been burned too many times to trust anyone in my opinion. The Zerg are... well, the Zerg and the Terrans are... well, the Terrans!

    Actually, the Zerg "own" right now, for the time being. The Queen Bitch is ruler of the entire sector until something drastic happens.

    Guys, they are balancing it, not creating the same units ( in power ) on each team, lol. Thought you would be smarter than this. :mad:

    ^ I was talking in terms of the storyline. Unit-wise, I'm sure they will be perfectly balanced...

    Yeah, that's why I only mentioned Raynor and not the entire Terran race, because Raynor's helped more than most Protoss to eliminate the Overmind and secure Aiur's Warp Gate etc..., and Zeratul instead of Artanis, the ruler, because Artanis looks down on Terrans.

    Zeratul is probably getting a bit too old to lead the Protoss, he's 642(approx) and he's more suited to combat with his psi blade and cloaking. I think Artanis is more suited to the leader position as he is yound and idealistic (way arrogance is bad). And Zeratul could be his advisor.

    Razagal, leader of the Dark Templar was 1045. Aldars was in his 800's, Tassadar in his 700's.

    You gotta be freaking old to be a Protoss leader.

    There is major problem of having leaders that are too old. Raszagal is simply too old, her powers have been dimishing so much that Kerrigan was about to mind control her. Aldaris is also old and hence he's way of thinking is rather bueracratic and inflexible. Maybe someone could be a better leader than Artanis, and Zeratul is a good adviser.

    I got it! Blizzard could pull a mighty plot twist and have Tassadar lead!



    Seriously though.....Is....A....Puzzlement.

    My GOd, Lol

    Who sends a single Mothership in a battlefield to encounter a massive military fleet.

    The Mothership is like a strategy platter. your gonna have to find the right time to show it off. Rather than leave
    it stationary in a single area vulnerable to attack.

    lets not forget that the mothership was warped in. suddenly during the video.. So as excellent player that you are your gonna
    have to hide your mothership somewhere. (I dont know) Il leave that to you guys. and at the right time you warp it in or move it
    in time to catch your opponent off guard in order to devastate his military might.

    And of course. Similiar to a lot of movies we have seen as well as tv shows and sci fi movies. A mothership will always be escorted by a fleet of aircrafts , in the protoss's case those overload thingys. etc etc etc. The ion cannon ship that was owned by the marines ^_^ etc etc etc. The mothership is just like a science vessel, maybe that will be the terrans equivalent of a mother ship. ^_^ who knows, the games preety far off, and I feel Il already have graduated college. So I doubt if I have time to trully tone my SC2 Skills.
