So then the Xel-Naga would be unstoppable, if there spawn time would be better then say a zerg...

What happend tho is the zerg evolved so fast in SC, they whiped out the Xel-Naga in a matter of a few years after they were created. If anything, What kind of plan do you think the Xel-Naga will have in rebuilding there own race... I mean seriously, the zerg defeated them when they were in there infant stages.

The point I was getting at in my above statement was... what could the Xel-Naga do in a 10 year Period, that would make them strong enough to even think about an offensive on the zerg or any race for that matter. I dont know about you but I belive the book on starcraft said the zerg completely destroyed the Xel-Naga. Now put that into context, did you see Hitler planing WW3 after we the "Allied Forces" Kicked his @$$ back to the stoneage in WW2?? No, Germanys economy is still today recovering from that... and we forked over a ton of money to get them rolling again afterwards. I dont know if this even makes sense to you but it sure does to me

So whats to say they dont take both races into themselves to defend themselves. They created both races and they have had many years able to figure out ways of fighting and how to defend ones self. But yes as you said, "For a unit 10x better than say the Zelot, the Zelot takes the longest to build for basic ground attack as it is... An online zerg will be at ur base with a 6 ling rush before you can even think about building a Xel-Naga unit." I think if they are creators and not true fighters wouldnt they know of some way to spawn their guys faster? I'm not saying blizzard is gonig to do this but i think if they did this would be how they balanced out the spawn time thinking for xel-naga. But then what about over powering? It all consist of upgrading a races units making them stronger over the years. But i see where your coming from

One more thing on this, Yes your right the Xel-Naga did create both Protoss and Zerg. But it took them long... long periods of time to do that. Also its not like they control the Protoss... the Protoss also tried to defeat the Xel-Naga, but failed.

Now then, say the Xel-Naga did have time to create another race to protect themselves. So far there bating 1000... that whatever they create will eventually just kill them. I mean the Protoss tried, the Zerg suceeded, It's been proven that they can create, but its also been proven that they can't control what they create.

Lastly, I have not read the SC history in awhile, so my numbers are probably off (alittle to alot) on the time periods. right now there just an educated guess but it all makes sense right?? Let me know what you think..

lol you make a good point teariz i suppose your right... but who knows i wonder if its something else maybe? i mean they did say their motherships were sent out to the farthest reaches so whats to say something didnt take one of those over? its just an interesting thought that or xel-naga did survive and create another race it might work... but yeah i think your right its prolly not going to be the xel-naga because of the zerg but we would just have to see..

I have been thinking... You know how the protoss has two major clans... I cant think of the names right now but basically Light/Dark or Templars and Dark Templars.. And how 1 home would was Auir and the other ... I cant think of its name...

What if the Xel-Naga were the same way. B/C the 2 protoss were completely different... Maybe there is another Xel-Naga clan that is not the creator type that split from the creator type long before the Zerg or Protoss were ever created. Maybe say one clan were the creators and the other clan were an aggressive war type. This would be a good polt line, and may be a good way of stoping the zerg in SC2. Then maybe Zerg will have to run and both types of Protoss/and Terran will have to find a way to over come the great Xel-Naga!!!

It is just a thought, but with a little more work that could be a great plot. What do you think Pac-Pack5000???

lol its shakuras (i spelled wrong but yeah) i have to say thats a freaking amazing plot line because even from there you can make an expansion set and keep going because then they are fighting the xel-naga and maybe they could work together? but once it leads to say an expansion set what about the other xel-naga the creators? did they die? i hope not because if they didnt then whos to say what race finds them or they learn of their brothers actions.. i mean theres disputes between them already so whos to say they wont try and help take down their brothers? create new things for the protoss or zerg or terran depending on who reaches them first without the fighter xel-naga getting in the way.. i just think that what you mentioned would be amazing lol nice thinking

LOL, thanks. I do have a bunch of thoughts going on in my head all the time. I do think that it makes a great plot line, we will see what blizzard decides to do though. I doubt they check this site, if they did it may improve there game

If there were A fighter type Xel-Naga just think how powerful they could be?? the Xel-Naga creators were cited as ancient. Which in my mind means years of perfecting warrior abilities! This may be a tough foe for even the Protoss/Terran/Zerg all combined

I am certain that we will see some sort of interaction with the Xel'Naga in the campaign.

That said, I would not worry about how the Xel'Naga would work as a playable race, but rather how they will interact with the future lore. This is a topic for a separate thread.

Why a seperate thread?

We are talking about the Xel-Naga being a playable race I belive that this is exactly what the thread states.

i dont think they are going to throw in some lore about the xel'naga and use it for nothing that would be pointless... because oo the xel'naga did such and such or the protoss or any other race found a new design for something.. that would just be like old sc1 then talking about the xel'naga i think if they throw in more lore they are going to be bound to putting the xel'naga in as a race
