Ooo...this looks good! As a rather mediocre player at best, but a huge fan of the storyline, I'm pretty excited!

I like all the changes in this article. Those first 5-7 minutes were always the slowest part of the game. Having 12 harvesters only makes sense. The idea of reducing the home resources should be fun too. Should really deter the turtlers.

12 harvesters would make a successful rush pretty devastating. If you can kill an opponents harvesters and have 12 of your own, you'd be pretty far ahead.

We'll have to see how the mechanic actually plays out though. With quicker resource harvesting, you'd also be able to set up defences earlier.

Yeah exactly. I don't see if affecting overall rush strategies. It just means different build orders. Things will ramp up faster at the start. I'm half wondering if it will actually reduce the amount of ling rushes because with 12 harvesters, you could probably pump out a marine or zealot ball pretty fast too.

I didn't put much time into HotS. I may have to dust off SC2 though because these changes sound intriguing.

Damn, Blizzard makes the best trailers.

I really need to get on board this whole Starcraft II thing!

(And that Diablo III thing)
