Archons (Dark, Twilight, and otherwise)

[Dragoonx]

Protoss expansion coming right up! I'm quite sure they removed a lot of units to add them back into the game with expansions.

IE, dumb the game down a bit, see how it turns out, then shape the removed units into the respective slots. Done

Ulrezaj has not been confirmed to be in the game. Last we saw him, he was trapped in a crystal. Of course, there is a good chance he will be in the game...

Even so, Ulrezaj's abilities are so powerful and so far beyond a dark archon, he doesn't even look like one. (He's not even red.)

I'm quite sure they removed a lot of units to add them back into the game with expansions.

Blizzard already said they're not doing this.

That doesn't mean they're not doing it.

I hate that the Dark Archon is out of the game. But a cool idea if they wore to bring back the Dark Archon make it look more Electro-Fiery and becourse it makes out of two invisible units let it get clocked when out of shield and be enabled to use its spells till the shields started recharging and till getting visible again. Also have some new cool spells like "Soul steal" (Steal Energy) and maybe bring back the "Mind control"!?

U like? :P

Well Ulrezaj will be more black than red as a DA, according the The Dark Templar Saga, where he is described as being mostly dark and shadowy.

Basically, if they just removed dt and ht merging into an archon, and made it the old 2 ht=1 normal archon than I am fine as far as lore goes. However, I hope that we end up with multiple different archons. Archons are a classic toss unit. If people get confused, well than they are too dumb to play SC anyway. I know we don't know what the exp. will bring us, but a purple twilight archon with all kinds of abilities would be awesome.

So let's add this together, to recap:

2 HT = 1 blue normal archon

2 DT = 1 red dark archon

1 HT & 1 DT = 1 purple twilight archon

Ulrezaj = 1 giant black dark archon

4 archons! Haha

Who wants to do Ulrezaj's abilities?

I gave up on making the Archon a really interesting unit. It was fun to theorycraft on before SC2, but it looks like they intend on it being the same unit. DTs turning into archons isn't that weird, and does have somewhat of a use, but you just wish a unit that looks cool would have more use on the battlefield. They don't need to make more archons until the first one is useful; like if they put feedback or maelstrom on it - something.

So let's add this together, to recap:

2 HT = 1 blue normal archon

2 DT = 1 red dark archon

1 HT & 1 DT = 1 orange twilight archon

Ulrezaj = 1 giant black dark archon

4 archons! Haha

twilight archons are orange
