Actually, when you think about it, gols play a very limited role in terran antiair.
Vs Zerg air: Terrans use M&M, turrets, and vessels primarily.
Vs Terran air: If terran goes mass wraiths, your best counter is valks. If terran goes bcs, your best counter is wraiths (and maybe ghosts).
Vs Protoss air: Gols are useful here for keeping shuttles and arbiters at bay. If P goes for carriers, you generally see mass gols as a response, but only because they have a million factories up and not a million starports. If they could build wraiths rather than gols, they would. More to the point, if they could build vikings rather than gols, they would. |

Heres a new question that i think most players will most sertainly want to know. Listen and try to understand carefully. In the Terran demo for Sc2, you clearly see him select all 3 ghosts and clicks the sniper command. He then selects 3 targets one after another. Now if you had done that in sc1, those ghosts would have all sniped the same marine, when in this, you issued 1 command per ghost. This of cource would be making cordinated strickes much easier.
I dont know how much units you can select now, but i do know that its no less than 24. So if i was to select 6 tanks and 12 marines with some medics, my options were the abilitys are listed would say stims, siege, and restoration, see, now i dont have to click on the individual units to get them to do what i need to do and i can do it faster.
What i just said though was different from the ghost explanation but its the same concept as in you can cordinate attacks way easier and not having to do multiple clicks.
Lets say i have 5 ghosts and theres 5 tanks. You see in sc1, im gonna have to select all those ghosts individually and tell them to lockdown each of those tanks 1 at a time, but in sc2 i hope you can have all of them slect lockdown, then you can choose the 5 tanks or targets and they will proceed with a computer cordinated attack, a huiman couldnt do this that fast, unless hes Korean.
So heres my question, will that feature i said in the first paragraph be in sc2? I really hope you understood. |
