considering blizzard's history normally I'd agree, but i think the build they showed is pretty advanced already with the 3d engine already complete. They are at the point now where they are just implementing units and balancing. I think/hope theres a 50/50 chance it might arrive on time haha.

that thing will have limited energy, it wont be using multiple special powers within a short timespan like in the demo where they had infinite mana code running.
spending tons of resources to build one and loosing it will probably loose the game.. a bunch of cheap zerg scrooges will probably easily flank it while the main forces duke it out.

I hope it doesn't get too complicated. For instance, some units defend well against large damage attacks (like siege mode tanks), but don't defend well against weaker attacks (like marines). Strange
I showed a vid to my wife who always plays terrans, and it showed some battle cruisers getting their asses handed to them by a few larger protoss ships. She just looked at it and said "Maybe I'll just play against the zerg..." lol
