Talk:List of StarCraft II units
From StarCraft Wiki
Please limit the amount of information on game units in this list; there are links for the extra info. Also please reference information. Thanks. Kimera 757 (talk) 23:30, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rename vs Replacement
What exactly is the distinction being made between a rename (in which the previous version is not listed as canceled) and a replacement (in which the previous version is listed as canceled)?
The answer is probably "not enough of a distinction", but at present, we're trying to get the info down quickly. Kimera 757 (talk) 22:55, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Units and structures that have had a functional change (eg Photon Cannon --> Phase Cannon --> Photon Cannon) definitely need an article change. Kimera 757 (talk) 23:02, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
So I went over the list of stuff, and it seems only the Roach Den and Nydus Warrens warrant a rename. (The other changes, as far as I can tell, are more substantial.) Except the Colonies --> Crawlers, but in the live feed, Rob Pardo specifically distinguished between them. Kimera 757 (talk) 23:07, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Complete list?
Shouldn't we say "complete list of units to date"? The game is still undergoing changes and some of the units could be added or removed. --Destron Commander 02:36, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
It does say something to that effect in the tag at the top :) Kimera 757 (talk) 21:56, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The Queen is gone!?!?
This page, Queen, Large Queen and Huge Queen have to be updated with this info, but I don't know what to use as the source. I guess I could make the edits anyway and then someone else can give refs. -capefeather 19:58, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Only the Large and Huge Queen are gone. Kimera 757 (talk) 21:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC) Ah, noted you deal with it. I was hoping to get sources like StarCraft Legacy, but that site is ... well, dead at the moment. Kimera 757 (talk) 21:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
I noticed in the SC2A Q&A that a lot of other changes were made (e.g. Phoenix, Infestor, Battlecruiser). I mentioned Queen because she was also changed considerably and her morph info had to be relocated to appropriate places. -capefeather 22:18, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Wow. I just realized what was wrong with my message title. The shock of all these changes got to me, I guess. -capefeather 22:20, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Removing former structures/units...
Do we really need to keep those in this page? Changing them continually wastes time every time this page needs updating. Kimera 757 (talk) 23:30, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know how you resolved this, but I think the removed units are important. People can get very far behind in their info. Just yesterday, I was talking to someone and he said he hoped the lurker would come back, XD capefeather 21:57, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, they'll stay in then. Kimera 757 (talk) 22:10, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Gameplay pages
Does anyone think that redirecting the links here to the StarCraft II gameplay articles is a good idea? It seems like a good course of action considering the nature of this particular article. capefeather 20:53, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Yes. But we only have about three StarCraft II unit-specific pages (marine, siege tank and battlecruiser) so we should probably only link those at the moment. Kimera 757 (talk) 21:36, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
I just added those links (twice each, due to the tech tree requirements). Kimera 757 (talk) 22:09, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Jan. 12, 2009 German Info
SC2Pod post based on this. Storing here for now since the "reference" wasn't really integrated at all, and I don't know if we want to jump at every last thing that supposedly goes on in the internal builds that nobody sees outside of Blizzard. If the claimed changes go somewhere, and don't reflect one of the many dead-end tangents they must be exploring all the time, something will come out publicly and officially sooner or later, then we can safely latch on. - Meco (talk) 16:58, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] There Is new Unit!
In the new recent Screen Shots new type of a new Terran's worker Vehicle can be seen. [1]
[edit] Brutalisk
Consideration in adding the brutalisk:

The Brutalisk was an intimidating sight, a Zerg warrior standing taller than an Ultralisk, and appeared to be a mix of a Hydralisk and a Zergling, in a form similar to the new Zerg Queen.
