The for most one is warhammer 40k dawn of war, its a damn hard skirmish game in deathmatch modes, starcraft uses a one unit, one slot system, while warhammer, and rise of nations, which has no influence in starcraft, have a squad spawned in unit production, hopefully blizzard will take a not from these, and make sc2 much more intense than the last.

Yes Colossus looks good, will enchance SC. but so far, not much of originality has been found, that's also true. Most units are just SC units (with better graphics) The THOR is decent though, giving a fair comment. But Protoss... yeah. C'mon Blizz, I know there's more, when will we see it?

For example, the mother ship even carries the same title as the ship in C&C3 and fills the EXACT same role. The Stalker is also verrryy similar to another C&C3 alien unit (I dont remember the name, its been a while). But perhaps most obvious is the collosus. Its as if it was taken driectly from C&C3. I wont bother drawing parallels for the marines, I think my point is clear. If I wanted to play C&C3, I would. I want starcraft, not C&C. I thought games were supposed to be original??

The Viking bears a strong resemblance to the old Valyries/ Vertiechs and the Thor strongly resembles the Destroid Monsters. Don’t forget old Animes like Robotech.
