yeah, so thats why im saying that protoss should have more diversified defence in sc2. even if its just to make it more interesting.
The protoss cannon strategy - quick win
- Thread starter Crosby
- Start date
It would prove interesting. Maybe something like the Collossus with sweeping lasers. It would be an interesting foil to the comparatively focused Photons.
Currently the Protoss are shaping up to be the "expand or die" race. And with their unparalleled mobility they have the means to do it.

no.
noone can beat terran defenses, that would piss me off. colonization is human's main advantage. if we dont have that we blow.

i never said they should take off bunkers, im saying it wouldnt hurt to give the toss some diversity in their defences.
sure it would, then a toss vs terran match could go FOREVEVER becuz both are too infleuenced to be defensive, now the toss eventually have to attack becus their defenses cant stand up to a terran attack w/out units to backmup their photons
sry, i ddnt mean to offend, we are supposed to opinionate, thats why we're here. just pointing out my opinions too...
no, seriously, if adding diversity for the zerg didnt screw up the game, and adding diversity for the terrans didnt screw up the game, why would adding diversity for protoss be so bad?
There is always room to add diversity as long as a cost is associated with it. And I don't just mean resoucres. Time is just as important of a resource, with teching playing a big part.
The Protoss can be diverse, but, like the other races, they have to branch down a specific tech tree to obtain them. This way you have more overall options but you are still tailoring yourself through your decisions.
In the case of defenses, they may need to tech a little to get better defenses, but they should still be there.
I think diversity is ALWAYS better. It just gives you more options at your disposal. But because of the costs associated with diverstiy, it keeps a balance insured.

diversity is nice, just as long as you dont go doing a protoss version of terran colonization. I as a terran player would feel cheated if the toss could move an existing structure, toss are the powerful yet not base flexible side. Thats why the zerg practically ran through them on auir. But i dont see the problem with giving them so more diverse defense, the phton cannon should be altered if they do get another one though.
i was thinking, u know how they made phoenix to adjust to the numerical advantage of the zerg? maybe they apply the same technology to a defensive structure?
I see what you mean. Diversity can be bad if it means giving the race something that is meant to be exclusive to another.
I would like to see the photons become a strong attack tower that hits one at a time and another tower that is weak, but hits many.

That would be cool. I was thinking it would only attack ground like the Collossus, but it would be awesome to see laser turrets incinerate an incoming aerial assault.
i ownder what new air units the terran have...
i wanna see a bomber, for a-g heavy damage
although that might be too simalar to gaurdians....

Here is what I want to see for Terrans:
A structure that must be built on the ground and launched to be functional.
A Bomber like my brother mentioned that would have a limited number of attacks.
The Bomber to be able to dock in the aerial structure to resupply it's weapon.
What do you think of that?

i think it sounds a bit too complicated for my taste...y not just have the bomber dock at say a starport? it'd be cool to see bombers dropping mini nukes in strafing runs tho...starcraft never really did a lot on air-to-ground attacks.
No... Most air units were considered with air attacks first, ground attacks second. It would be nice to see some new ideas on this.
