Poking his unit or on him on the bridge? His unit dorsnt say anything like that.

[Drake Clawfang]

Yes he does. It's in the editor dood, check if you do n't believe me.

And did you notice they were all based on movies like Predator, and Saving Private Ryan? :P

The latter would make more sense for Fenix as a warrior. I don't see the former would, he doesn't kill simply for game trophies.

Does anyone hate how the design philosophy for star crafts multiplayer has been just to use band aids instead of having a structural purity to each race? Ex1. the reaper combat drugs bullshit and Ex2. the mutalisk rapid regen.
I mean it's like they didn't give a shit about the racial characters for each race.

Yes, that's why I don't bother with it.

Does anyone have any idea what's happened to Kuldalis, Urun, Nahaan, and other characters?

My guess: corrupted by Amon and killed by us in Salvation.

Random realization of the original Starcraft.

If Tassadar had only obeyed his orders and purified Tarsonis, Mengsk never would have sent Kerrigan to the surface to intercept the Protoss, the Zerg never would have infested Kerrigan, Raynor probably wouldn't have defected, and the Zerg would have experienced heavy losses with their broods on Tarsonis eradicated.

Imagine how differently the entire Starcraft story would have gone if Tassadar had just pushed the button when he was told to...

Tassadar dindu nuffin (literally, in that specific case).

That said, thinking on what you just said, that makes Tassadar's sacrifice a bit more noble. Whether he realized it or not, a lot of stuff went very wrong because him trying to not kill millions of innocent people. I wonder if that was on the writers' minds went they wrote the first three campaigns?

Also, I've considered for quite some time that Brood War was never meant to feature the UED, but the plot would be more-or-less identical, but with Mengsk and the Dominion doing what the UED did. I don't know what triggered that thought years ago, but I looked at some Beta campaign screenshots of various missions from Brood War, and the colour of the terran forces controlling the zerg on Korhal? Red. Might've had something to do with it.
