The Protoss get eaten by the freaking siege tanks... The Zerg can at least swarm over them... But siege tanks force a Protoss player to either build Zealots.. or a better air force (both of which take away resources from tech development).

Nothing annoys me more (In SC)... than a siege tank taking out the pylons for my defensive towers... Luckily we have observers to see the problem approaching ahead of time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starcraft_2 should be out sometime in early-mid 2010 But the longer they take on it: the better it is gonna be ^_^ So no rush, Blizz I can wait ^_^

While Pardo affirmed that previously discussed units such as the zealot infantry and immortal battle tank are still on the table, we were also introduced to several new units that hadn’t been shown at Blizzard’s previous event in May.

These include the soul hunter, a hovering ground unit that can attack both air and ground opponents.

---

Another new unit is the phase cannon, a stationary turret that can be changed into a hovering energy ball that can move like a normal unit, reminiscent of Warcraft III’s wisp units, as long as it remains within range of the Protoss power grid. They can then be redeployed as stationary turrets to act as roadblocks or as forward firing lines.

---

Other units include the tempest, a flying troop transport with an underside energy shield that protects against ground-to-air fire, but leaves the unit vulnerable to air-to-air attacks, and the return of the dark templar (which still has stealth abilities) and the high templar (which still possesses the devastating psi-storm ability) units. As before, templars can be merged to form archons, known as twilight archons in Starcraft II, which act as exceptionally powerful infantry units.
Note that while all these units sound promising and offer intriguing new strategies, none of them are final. A completely different set of units may end up in the final game.

I feel honoured that my Artist name for my music, has inspired a Starcraft discussion

Lol ^_^ I'm going to <3 this: http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Stalker That is so awesome ^_^ Assassination hit and runs are my direct offense ^_^

Sadly, http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Phase_cannon the photon cannon replaced it in a lated build : 0 Dangdit!

Well, if you play a rush right, the Terrans will not be anywhere near siege tanks by the time you are fist humping his buildings with Zealots! By the time Terrans can have siege tanks a good Protoss player should have a couple of Reavers (Yeah, I hate reloading them too! Can you say autobuild toggle on scarabs please?) on the field and if you really want to assault by ground you NEED Reavers to punch through defenses, but if you go by air get used to this lovely chorus, "Carrier has arrived." going off double time from two starbases.

I always litter the map with observers when I play Protoss. When I am Zerg I spread my Overlords to define a front around my base that I move to expand my control.

All this talk of Starcraft makes me want to set up a game! I bet I would be rusty as hell but it would still be fun!

Co Co Ju la!

Lol, yes indeed I don't see reavers anywhere on these lists though http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_...t_II_units

Reaver:[7] The reaver was originally supposed to make it into StarCraft II, but was cancelled before BlizzCon 2007.[38] Its current fate is unresolved although Blizzard Entertainment is working on a replacement.[39]

But I personally prefer air domination for the purpose of destroying meddlesome building destroyers

http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Phoenix replaced scouts and corsairs... can't wait to try out all of the new units That graviton beam + the blinking stalkers sounds perfect for small assassination groups ^_^

My usual troop allotment in the original Starcraft was a number of Dragoons and Photon Cannons, a handful of zealots to throw as occasional fodder, observers surrounding my base and in key points, a few of the stronger ground units (Reavers, Dark Templar, etc), a handful of archons (dark and normal), and intense air superiority... all supported by rapid tech increases and steady advancement of my base to choke points. (I usually make 2 bases, with a 3/2 unit ratio at each, for purpose of resource collecting and resilience [map allowing])

"Carrier has arrived."

Music to my ears ^_^

http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Void_ray Will be so perfect for destroying things like battlecruisers and tanks ^_^

The base damage is 6, increasing to 12 after 3 seconds and to 24 after another 3 seconds.

I suspect those will be a part of my main fleet

(ooh, they 'fixed' zealots! http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Zealot_(StarCraft_II) !)

[Rhizomorph13]

Bummer, no reavers! I loved those guys because almost nobody used them and in a multiplayer game nobody knew how to deal with their extreme range. They were the artillery of the Protoss.

The Void Ray looks like a resource hog that will most likely get popped before it ramps up to its full capacity, but I guess that is the point, you have to defend or otherwise distract your enemy.

Blizz is 'supposedly' working on a replacement though

Indeed... my guess would be that you need some Phoenix and maybe occasional carrier support to use them right Kind of like the http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Mothership ... they are great assets if you have a balanced air force... but exclusively they suck Psionic storm a good enough distraction for you? HAHA ^_^ This game is gonna be awesome ^_^

My guess is that one would put say 4 of them in with a fleet assault, and let them focus target a single high-profile target (say battlecruiser?) while the rest of the fleet deals with other issues

Stalkers have O.P. written all over their spindly legs ^_^ Unlike everybody else: I'm the one that REALLY wants a beta key! ^_^ I looked through both the Terran and the Zerg units when I was done admiring the Protoss... and all I can say is: OMG O.O! Everyone is OP, which is why I love Starcraft ^_^
