I feel strongly that damage done to the Colossus’ lower half (legs) should be reduced by a small percentage (maybe 25%, can be more or less).

Why?

The idea of melee units attacking the legs of a “towering” Colossus while still dealing full damage to its hp sounds ridiculous; in what way are they damaging the control centre (head)? I suppose if the legs were badly damaged enough, the Colossus would topple over and be destroyed. However, the amount of attacks required to cause one to topple over would be far greater than that required to K.O. its head.

Any feedback?

The Protoss’s Phoenix looks fine, it’s the water effect I’m worried about.

Yep – I think they are just pointing in different directions ; They all have the same design on the top, and the one closest shows both ‘barrels’ on both sides. Diagonal ones are a touch higher than the round ones. I’m assuming round ones are the actual barrels.

It’s difficult to make out, but I’m pretty sure that’s the case here.

Look at the gun barrels on the Planetary Fortress on the upper left, and the upper right. One is round, the other is sort of diagonally flat.

What’s up with that?

Different turrents? Which screenshot? The overrun zergling screenshot with nukes seems to have them all the same (at different rotations) imo…

I noticed the turrets on the Command Centers were different. Could there be more than one version of the Planetary Fortress?

yea, the phoenix is rather badly designed, i wonder why no one commented on that so far. it is almost as if it is flying backwards, and very un-protoss-like.

and kudos to the colossus change, I dont really like the ‘horizontal sweep’ thing though, it doesn’t makes much sense. how about a twice lance instead?

“So has it officially been degraded to a big goliath?”

Hmm, well one goliath was never enough in the original I am almost expecting the next version to be a giant viking, complete with transforming from ground to air. Like a giant power ranger!

Honestly i try not to care about the Thor – it has never made sense to me.

The protoss phoenix is still ugly as sin.

but too late at this point to change any designs I think. pity.

Pretty sure it looks like that because of the point of view of that picture. It’s a bit flatter instead of the normal overhead view, so you see more but it’s smaller.
