StarCraft II Source (starcraft2.4players.de), a German StarCraft fansite, has acquired a new fansite Q&A from Blizzard. They had the opportunity to ask questions about Stalker Blink range, resource sharing, and more:

1. Are you still developing new units or are you satisfied with the amount of units for each race and, therefore, more concerned about the fine tuning and balancing?
Our philosophy has always been to keep the amount of units for each race to a certain number to keep the gameplay tight, and we are satisfied with what we have right now in terms of that number. Once we head into beta we definitely evaluate the role of each unit and will potentially add or drop units as needed based on feedback.

2. Can you explain the movements of big melee units like the Ultralisk in detail? While running through idle units smaller units tend to move away so the Ultralisk can walk in a straight line. Will that happen only in battles or while moving your whole army as well?
The way movement collision works right now is that a unit has to be idle for it to be pushed to a new location by another unit like an Ultralisk. Generally if you are controlling your forces and they are active, you will not see this behavior.

Karune, Blizzard's RTS community manager, has announced two new community managers for StarCraft: Avarius and Zhydaris:

In our ramp up of support for the StarCraft community, we have added two new members that will join the community team on the boards! You may have already seen some of their posts, as they are anxious to get mingling with the community.

Please join Xordiah, Cydra, and I in welcoming Avarius and Zhydaris!

A little bio about Avarius
Avarius managed the RTS Stage at the last two BlizzCons as a member of our eSports team here at Blizzard. He may have also been seen at some of our previous events playing pro players and fansites in StarCraft II. Avarius will no doubt use his competitive gaming background to discuss some intricacies of game mechanics, balance, and overall gameplay.

A little bio about Zhydaris
Zhydaris is dedicated to playing 'random' in StarCraft II. Yes, random. Or at least rotate periodically between each race so he can be equally 'dangerous' with every single one of them. He loves to watch replays and to analyze the great games, learning things from those matches: camera movements, hot keys, and control groups to improve.

With the need for this many assistant RTS community managers, I believe we can assume that Blizzard has major plans for the community. Hopefully we can look forward to more blue posts in the official forums and more interaction with the various fansites!
