New Terran and Protoss Information & Pics of Thor in Action (Page 1 of 2)

Gameplay:

    * You can queue maximal 5 production orders.
    * There are "neutral observatories" which give a sight radius when captured.
    * Ramps can be blocked by destroyable rocks.

Protoss:

    * If the Gateway is upgraded to the Warpgate you can warp a unit every 30 seconds into pylon range.
    * Phase Cannons disappear if they leave Pylon range in energy form (although this contradicts Blizzard's statement from last week).
    * Cybernetic Core is the tech-building required to build the Stalkers and the Immortals (another contradiction - Blizzard said on E3 the building is the Twilight Council).
    * High Templars can stasis enemy troops for 15 seconds.
    * Browder said Shield Batteries don't exist, yet.
    * Colossi are about double as expensive as Reavers.
    * Star Relics are visible when they create a cloaking field and they cannot move while it's active.
    * Star Relics can use hallucination.
    * Star Relics got a "Detonate" ability, which kills a unit after a certain amount of time.
    * The Mothership's current price is: 400 minerals, 400 gas and 10 supply. Both upgrades for it cost 300/300 each.

Terran:

    * Cobras can attack air and ground.
    * Vikings has low armor when in air-firm.
    * Banshees can fire rapidly at ground units.
    * Reaper are able to attach a timebomb at units or buildings every 30 seconds. A sign and a red bar show where the bomb is placed. The bomb is destroyable by the opponent.
    * It is not decided yet if the Planetary Fortress could attack air too.
    * Thor: His special ability is to perform an artillery strike, which uses his four cannons on his back to fire long-ranged projectiles. Nevertheless, he is helpless against air-strikes and he is very slow. He can be killed by a few Cobras because he turns slowly.
    * Ghosts: In "sniper-mode" they can kill lonely soldiers or lesser Zerg units with a single hit. They can also call for an air-drop with 8 Marines.
    * Blizzard still debates if the medic is implanted. Dustin Browder: "We have to test if they fit Starcraft II and don't mess up the balance."
