Ultimate Units?

    How about infestation!!! Like the terran command center... damaged mother ships should be allowed to be infested with the zerg queen! Infested mother ship that spawns infested zealots! now that's cool!

    Mothership doesn't spawn units for one thing, and for another I think the Zerg are damn well powerful enough without infested Zealots!

    In the gameplay trailer, a good strategy would have been to maneuver the Mothership away from the battle a bit, then move it so that it's on the axis of the frontline, and then bring it in along the frontline while activating the Planet Cracker. That would have been bye-bye fore Terran units.

    Maybe the minimal age for becoming a leader is 600, and you had to have had some distinguishing action performed to prove your worthiness.

    Yeah, that'd make sense.....I think Aldaris did something really nifty....

    Oh, and you have to be a decedent in the Judicator Caste. That's an important bit there.

    Only on the battlefield to my understanding. A Templar caste soldier can attain much influence, like Tassadar, but only Judicators are in the Senate. I'm not sure what caste the player is supposed to be. I think Templar, but I'm not sure.

    So on another off-topic but necessary route for me, can Judicators be generals or commanders, like take up a Templar's job?

    I don't see why not. You can drop down, you just can't go up.

    With that in mind, Blizz should introduce a new Protoss hero, a Judicator that loves combat and the ways of the Templar. Or, to make it even more weird, who loves Terran technology and decides to join Raynor as his disciple. :p

    ^ Smack the psionic signatures of Aldaris and Tassadar and Fenix together and there you go ^ ;)

    Yeah, a sort of clone would be cool. I got an idea! What if, considering that the Hybrids become a reality, one certain Hybrid retains a sense of being Protoss and decides to go against Duran and the other Hybrids? It would make a neat hero. ;D

    That idea is viable, because both the Protoss and Zerg turned their back on the Xel before staging wars against each other.....
    But would the masters of Duran (Xel'Naga) just let the hybrids run free in the galaxy? after the mistakes done with toss and zerg....they've gotta be smarter than that.

    To those who think that there would be a similar super unit for terran or zerg, this might disappoint you a bit

    Just found this gameplay panel report http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/starcraft-2/790195p1.html

    Yeah, it's been mentioned, but it's nice to have the official link available now... I'm not disappointed, in fact I think it's better this way =)

    I've a feeling they would be much smarter than to make the same mistakes again. Maybe they have an Overmind-like control over the Hybrids?

    Maybe Duran is the Hybrid-Overmind, not to be confused with the Zerg Overmind. That would make an interesting position for Duran, who I can't really imagine as a leader of a race...

    Well, he certainly controlled the Terrans.

    And the Zerg! ;)

    But he's more of a mad scientist kind of guy to me, or at least the badass leader of a bunch of mad scientists...
