Greetings Karune,

I have a few questions that i hope you can answer them:

1- in the battle report 1 it seems unit coloring has changed from previously, we see the zealots of the red protoss player have neutral color blades, in the first game demonstration they would have the color of the player and in many other screenshots on the SC2 main site. same goes for Pylons. what happened to that? I realy liked them previously.

2- Death animations: In the gameplay demonstrations we see units and buildings have nice death or destruction animations, in the battle report 1 they had some wierd small explosion. were the animations removed or is that only for multiplayer?

3- this is more of a suggestion concerning Dark templer models, instead of having one model or the other or both alternating why not combine them into one model taking the strong points of both, i.e. why not make a third model with the body of the Lenassa templar and the weapon of the Zer'atai templar? maybe put that up for voting? i think it would get higher votes..

thanks in advance

1) Colors and lighting is something that is still being worked on from the art perspective and will continue to be improved throughout the development process. Currently, the 'time of day' or certain maps affect how colors appear on these units/buildings, thus seen in the screenshot variations. This will most likely stick for single player, but may be tweaked for multiplayer, since readability is and always will be a high priority for competitive play.

2) There are constantly new death animations for both units and buildings being produced right now - when and where we use these awesome visuals are yet to be solidified.

3) At this time, the community vote stands, and we will have a random spawn of the two models of Dark Templar. If there are future changes, I will definitely let you guys know.
