    The thing is you can't just win a game with a good turtle. You still need to expand out along with creating an army. Thats why the reapers and vikings will be good. Because you can set back the enemy even further with a good raid. Upgrading is still a huge part of turtling and when you tutle you get to decide when you can attack, because witha good turtle you should be able to control the rate of the game.

    2 questions

    what is a starbase?

    and how would a nydus worm be able to go under ground on a space platform map and rise up on a different platform if there was no connection? I say it shouldnt be able to.

    /\ starbase is basically a floating starport that can build all terran flying units as well as heal them

    No, it wouldn't make any sense for it to be able to do that in space, unless you could see it through the spaces in the platforms, which would ruin the surprise anyway.

    The new starbase idea is pretty cool though as now you won't need to rush scv's around trying to heal flying units as you can just retreat them back to the starbase. will that same feature work with siege tanks and possible cobras etc?

    terran needed a strong ground unit that can withstand heavy protoss damage, and the thor is just the perfect unit for that role, now the only concern is how to transport these machines in and out of the battlefield, a massive drop of these units into an opponent's base is an assured destruction. just imagine how many seconds it only took to demolish a planetary fortress with its cannon bombardment ability. but I honestly dont like the way how they configured most of terran's air units, they had no medium aircraft that is capable of engaging both air and ground targets, most of them are specialized to perform only a specific task like anti ground, anti air. i do hope that they make the predator able to target ground units as well

    i voted for the reaper cause now you don't have to use transports for all ground units.

    They can jump over cracks, lava, water, etc ... don't worry. But those obstacles can't be large to allow the reaper to reach them.

    Banshee
    Sleek Fast & Sneaky
    It will prove a tactical asset in raiding land units.. If there are aerial dangers, cloak and fly with the breeze baby

    I'd vote for several units.

    Out of Reaper, Viking, and Banshee, I voted Banshee because it gets my thumbs up as half of the Wraith replacement.

    likewise with me willy, i voted banshee out of the same group mainly because it simply kicks @ss. haha. and with a cloaking-AOE ground attack- air unit you cant go wrong.
