they will be able to nuke anywhere at any moment with any unit or without any unit on the map *confirmed by blizzard themselves*

I'm hoping the nyndus worm "pop out of anywhere they want" concept isn't an actuality. Because if all three races can transport a whole army from one place to another in an instant it will be way too close to war3 (a game I don't hate, I'd just like some of its game concepts to remain where they are :D)

If the nyndus worm can indeed pop anywhere it wants, I'm hoping there is at least some kind of huge delay for the thing to appear. And at least some kind of indicator to the victim that a nyndus visit is imminent (like a lurker-type patch on the ground only detectable by observers, com scans, etc)

Well I think terran have units who can move around on the map instead and then ofc drop ships.

yeah.. we stick to the classic dropships ^^



i dont think nydus canal pops out of the ground instantly, i'm assuming it has to travel first... and obviously so does a phase prism

I don't think Terran'll be getting anything like the Phase Prism/Nydus Worm.

Also, this'll just mean you'll have to have better scouting.

Heard that the huge sign is only visible for the player who launched the bomb. All the others will only see a little dot like in bw

And I'm not sure the bomb will fall that fast, maybe was it just for the video, would have been boring to wait 15s for the explosion to happen

blizzard are trying to diversify the three races even more than in the original. this said, i doubt the nydus worm works anything like the phase prism. And i doubt terran would get anythin that compares to the prism or worm, given their statement on diversifying the three races

Well. Judging from the video I'm led to believe that nydus worms can't transport more than a set amount of units.

Why would Blizzard have to pop up 5-6 of them in the presentation if it weren't for them being limited to a set amount of units?

Think of it as an underground overlord.

I don't know about you. But until now, when I first really thought about it, I believed Nydus Worms to be a building just like Nyduses in SC/BW. But they might be an UNIT.

Maybe I'm the only one that didn't draw that conclusion immediately? Do you think the Nydus Worm is a building or an unit?

Nydus Worms popping up should really be no different than an OL-drop. If you scout well you'll discover them. If not... Well then you're screwed in either case.

Other ting:
PC GAMER podcast talks about zerg beeing radical different in SCII

In the 21 min demo a Protoss talks abot the foolish terrans:
''They will serve only to feed the Zerg swarm''

Will zerg drink blood in SCII ? ;-)

Also soul hunter will be getting stronger the more souls it kills...

I really hope the 3 races doesn't get anything alike, i mean that was the whole concept of the first game, each race had their own differences, also balanced as they are making the game so complex, it is now as people say It's not just a game

i hope Terrans won't have nothing like worms/prisms.
But im not worried about this new P & Z transport unit... as a T

Because the phase prism must fly to the point of the drop like any other drop unit, and it seems not so robust, i think it will be easily killed by ground/air units.
And i don't think that a single Phase Prism can drop an 200/200 army.... at least, i think, it can teleport 10-15 units.
And i'm not worried about nydus worms because i think that they aren't "totally invisibile" and because Zergs units aren't singulary strong, if u detected his worm coming, u put 20 rines in ur base or wherever he's going and all of his dropped lings are pretty fucked....

Maybe for Terrans in SC2 the scouting ability is more important than BW. Blizzard soon will reveal the new terrans unit (i hope ), and of course between that new ones, there will be a good counter one for this new P&Z features
