Why Does Blizzard Have Such A Hard Time Making Up Their Minds For Unit Sizes In Cg.

[CelticMoss]

It's all over the place many for protoss but zerg and terran still do have size problems.

[Trailgamer5]

In game they have to make things smaller because if they followed correct unit sizes Carriers and BCs would be 1/4 a small map and Leviathans 1/2 a small map. Motherships could be a map by itself.

I know that but the CG in the game also says different sizes for the same units.

Manly the big one that sticks out as a thorn is carriers,colossus and spear of adun but i wont really talk about cause it's still compairing it to ingame rendered and CG but it still looks weird too me

 

 

But ultralisk sizes flop around alot

 

 

https://youtu.be/MVbeoSPqRs4?t=1m3s this one looks around 60,80 ft

 

https://youtu.be/M_XwzBMTJaM?t=1m35s this one maybe 20,30 ft?

Ultralisks are biological. You won't expect 2 guys to have the exact same height would you? Also, there are many different classes of Ultras. From Pygalisks to Omegalisks.

On the Spear's case... yeah I got nothing... I guess Protoss void mindfudgery?

Never compare cutscenes to ingame stuff. It wouldn't work at all if they were the proper sizes. Plus, you see the spear of adun out of mission and in cutscenes, and it remains the same size the entire time - about the length of a few hundred battlecruisers.. The only time it's smaller is ingame, which, again, doesn't work.

It's actually more or less correct though. If an ultralisk is about 5 or 6 siege tanks high, an archon is roughly 3. If anything the size of the archon is a bit off, but there's nothing else to compare it to.

I compaired it to the high templar that made it i say it's around 3-4 templar

 

That's why i didn't care to much it's just the fact you watch as a carrier fall out of the sky in CG and it took up 1/4 the sky

Oh yeah, in the HoTS opening cinematic, the BC that fell from the sky looked HUGE! If the Spear is a few hundred... then... holy fudging sheet.

Says alot but still doesn't help me understand why the carrier looked so big in the sky.

Because they were really close to the bridge?

No no the one with artanis on aiur before zeratul talked to him it was huge and still in orbit and falling.

[Trailgamer5]

Because Carriers are huge in their own right?

Well that's what i mean they are large but from the sizes of spear and it,it should only be around 1000 ft but the CG says it should be much more then that.

I guess it doesn't matter protoss were always weird.

[Trailgamer5]

How about we make a list of starships from smallest to largest.

Mama Core

BCs & Carriers

Merc BC

Gorgon

Leviathans

Mama Ship

Spear

It says leviathans are larger then mother ships in the wiki

well there never really was a full mamaship in the cutscene so I never really know. But i do know that Leviathans are huge mass of zerg biomass.

Ok looked up the ship size chart and

 

 

 

 

Spear of adun is the biggest ship ever made.

the spear is 74547 meters long.

Hm... I wonder why the toss ditched the Potato carriers for smaller ones? If they followed Terran logic, they wouldn't have changed the Carrier design.

[AdunSaveMe]

I compaired it to the high templar that made it i say it's around 3-4 templar

Archons are significantly bigger than protoss, and protoss are a couple of feet taller than terrans in cmc armour.

notice me adun~

[CelticMoss]

also mass effect's reapers were only 2170 meters for their best one so much for advanced technology.

[Trailgamer5]

Yay Starcraft. On other news, how many Leviathans long is the Spear?
