Don't you think starcraft should have more awsome spells?
I know I know, Sc is doing fine and that i shouldn't complain. But the thought about a marine tossing a grenade at a swarm of lings or an archon doing a ka me ha me ha wave is awsome! XD
What about a nuclear missile that would destroy the whole map or a High Templar channeling all his energy to make a world wide psionic storm or a science vessel pouring anthrax all over the map or a defiler making plague that slowly spreads all over the map or a queen that can infest anything at will or an arbiter that can recall entire bases or or or damn thats a lil too much mass destruction.
you would be able to mod sc so you can do that
I'm not sure you can modify psi storm effects. I don't see a spells.dat file.

How bout a Dark Archon going into middle of a bunch of units and exploding, or a bunch of battlecruisers using all there yamto cannons to make a huge one that kills the entire map. Or being able to MC buildings. Or an arbiter that can stasis the whole map, or a defiler that can consume everything, Or a medic being able to give enemies diseases. Also, I think you can edit spells, i can't remember which file though.

Theres a lot of games where u can control buildings and honestly, IT SUCKS!!!!!
You can sneak into ure enemy base while they are busy and mc their command center, Whoosh, their economy is magicly &%$#ed.
Lots of these ideas sound stupid.
I say, SC has just the right amount of the right spells.
And I REALLY wish people would stop saying things like "a bunch of this unit group together, and make a really big version of their spell that goes over the entire map"... god hearing all the various ideas for "global" spells is getting repetetive and annoying.
If there should be a new spell, it should "Corrosive Acid" for the Defiler, that allows it to place splashy Acid spores... ON GROUND UNITS! Woot!
That'd be awesome Rpg material, and allow for some neat stuff in various gametypes... like have each player have a Defiler constantly followed around by a Lurker with 1 damage, the Defilers have 2 HP, and 8 armor, so that if you manage to stick 9 acid spores on the player they get killed, but they have hyper-heal triggers so that they can ONLY be killed in 1 hit...

That makes no sense Ezday

. You do know that the spores just make the cooldown time for attacks a lot longer, and add 1 hp dmg.
erhh... I am drunk I'm sorry.

Exactly.
The Lurker does 1 damage.
Once the Defiler has 8 Spors, that means that they negate it's 8 armor...
the Lurker does it's full 1 damage. That last spore, the 9th, will give the Lurker TWO damage... just enough to kill the Defiler in 1 blow.
Ok.... There should be a spell where you can magically win the game and it is reserchable at the command center for 10 minerals with a instant upgrade and only scvs can use it.
Having a Terroist drop a sienide bomb on a thousand lings or The devil eating your marine.

we don't need sarcasm feiteng

, either post something meaningfull or... go away.

I know you all think that Sc is already perfect and etc but I'm saying if we DID have room for new spells, what would they be?
The medic should have a "Spank" ability that heals you're units and kills a enemy unit.

A few ideas...
Recall for buildings only...
Nuclear Strike which doesnt destroy, but instead leaving a plague zone for 2 game minutes...
Burrowed units can travell underground...
XelNega's Temple acting like a photon cannon...
Bunkers which can store tanks(I have a version of SC which does that, but it's melted lol-I've just bought my 4th SC CD...)
The zerg defiler can consume enemy units---for 200 energy...
And more...
theyre not called spells...theyre called abilities

A marine can get an uber nuke machine gun that fires nukes like a mashine gun.
