3. Carriers
4. Scouts

5. arbiters to freeze a couple of them
6. templars creating mass illusions of other carriers, then take out the real ones with just a handful of units
7. a douzen corsairs
8. cannons (order them individually to target the carriers)
9. archons
and my ultimate favorite defense;
10. dark archons with mind control
:p |

I just found this video on youtube...

Not sure what's going on because I'm at work and can't listen, but whatever that Protoss ship at the end is doesn't seem to have any weaknesses. It must surely be a hero unit?
It kills like 30 marines, then about 6 battle cruisers. Seems to have about 4 different ways of attacking... |

They've mentioned that it costs a lot of ressources to produce and that you can only have one of them at any given time. I imagine it must cost alot of supply too. So it's really just a tradeoff between having a bunch of smaller units or just one really powerful and versatile unit. It moves really slowly too. Pretty much any unit shown so far can outrun it. |

| I'm looking forward to it. I'm glad they haven't changed the paradigm, that was my biggest worry but it looks like it's not going to happen. I'm not totally sold on 3D, but i'll reserve judgment on that for now... |

Again, when will you learn that graphics mean jack if the game isn't playable?
If I want good graphics I'll go and watch a movie. They are fairly irrelevant to RTS. Graphics are a little more important in an FPS I think, but look at Doom 2. The graphics aren't great, but the level design and game play is ingenious. Great game.
I'll also just make mention of a game I remembered just then.
DARK REIGN...one of Activision's finest productions ever, in my humble opinion. Such a wide range of interesting units! Shock wave tanks were awesome. Pity the game doesn't seem to run on XP, or I'd still be playing it. |

don't compare red alert to C&C please. And if you liked C&C or Tiberium sun, you will love this one, its fantastic

w00t! that was made by an aussie group called auran i think :D
i used to love it but didnt get very far, i think because i didnt know which units to counter with haha ;)
i preferred it to total annihilation which came out at the same time though. |

They say "in a normal game the mothership would have been dead long ago" but since this is our demo we give fill it up with shields."
something like that IIRC |
