EDIT: Blizzard's Announcement...!!

If you haven't already, check the starcraft 2 homepage.
Something wonderful just happened.
The Mothership has been confirmed, but it's so well balanced now.
Sadly, they got rid of the black hole~ (or so it seems)
Instead, the mothership has the following capabilities:
-A cloaking field that not only cloaks units, but buildings as well!
-A tweaked version of the planet cracker. Now it just has one big ass beam.
-And a tweaked version of the "time bomb". It acts as an AOE spell now, instead of a huge personal sheild like last time.
I'm sooooo happy about this change. Now the mothership isn't like the nuke anymore, in that the only reason why Blizzard put them in there was NOT to say that "game should be over by now". Now these hero units are really contributing to gameplay strategies.
I love it so.
Storm Rider:
It's not a hero unit. If you have the resources for it, you can make as many motherships as you want. However, I'm sure it's expensive as hell so if you have the resources to make a lot of them you're probably about to win anyway.

-.-
I'm just calling it a hero unit for the sake of conversation. Call it what you will.
The game really should never be judged by how much time is left in the game or what units you have. I've played many many games where it goes on for hours.
The whole "nukes tell you when the game is over" idea only applies to shitty money maps where people actually have the ability to make enough nukes or battle cruisers to make that statement true.

See, but the only Starcraft map I still play is "Happy Hunting Grounds" or variants on its theme, which was near-limitless amounts of resources and plenty of satellite base locations. You could drag the game out for hours. I'd like to do that as well with SCII, but these units might throw it off, assuming you won't be able to set tech levels ala C&C in skirmish games.

hmmm time can only tell.
