A challenge for every StarCraft fan here : try to make custom minis using three StarCraft factions: Protoss, Terran and Zerg. Remember to be as accurate as possible.
The best ideas will be awarded with a friendly hug


Here are few simple ideas to begin with:

Protoss Zealot
Cost: 19
HP: 50
Def: 18
Att: +12
Dam: 10
Abilities: Melee Attack, Charging Assault +10, Khala Link (May spend Force points from Protoss allies with Khala Link as if they were its own), Shields 1, Twin Attack
Force Powers:
Force 1


Praetor Fenix (Zealot; during the Defense of Antioch)
Cost: 64
HP: 100
Def: 20
Att: +15
Dam: 20
Abilities: Unique, Avoid Defeat, Melee Attack, Khala Link (above), Last Stand (When would be defeated, make an attack against each adjacent enemy once), Mettle, Shields 2, Twin Attack

At: +13
Dam: 30
Abilities: Unique, Cloaked, Melee Attack, Cunning Attack +20, Loner, Rolling Cleave, Shields 1, Warp Blade (+20 Damage against enemies at half Hit Points or more)

Att: +0
Dam: 0
Abilities:
Flamethrower 20
Fuel Tanks (When defeated, make a save of 11. On success, deal 20 Damage to each adjacent character)
Stim Packs (Once per round, at the end of his turn, you may make a save of 11. On success, you may activate this character second time in your next phase, not counting toward the activation limit. On a failure, take 10 Damage)


Zerg Zergling
Cost: 4
HP: 10
Def: 13
At: +3
Dam: 10
Abilities: Savage, Melee Attack, Swarm +1 (for each Zerg ally adjacent to the target)


Zerg Hydralisk
Cost: 7
HP: 20
Def: 15
At: +6
Dam: 10
Abilities: Savage, Poison +10, Swarm +1 (for each Zerg ally adjacent to the target)


Queen of Blades (a.k.a. Sarah Kerrigan; during the Brood War)
Cost: 75
HP: 130
Def: 20
At: +15
Dam: 20

Psionic Storm (Force 3: Replaces attacks: Range 6: The target and each character within 3 squares take 20 Damage, save 11 for 10)

Commander Effect: Zerg allies gain "Advantageous Attack" and "Bloodthirsty".

I like the Protoss, but maybe you should change Kerrigan's commander effect to benefit characters with Savage. Otherwise, her Zerg buddies won't benefit. Very nice, though. Fenix looks like a beast.

Terran Ghost
Cost: 27
HP: 40
Def: 16
At: +7
Dam: 20
Abilities: Stealth, Careful Shot +4
Force Powers:
Force 3
Sniper Shot: Force 1, Replaces attacks (This character choses one enemy character within line of sight and that character takes 30 damage ignoring any abilities that reduce damage with the exception of shields.)
EMP Shot: Force 1, Replaces Attacks (Target Character and each character adjecent to the target with shields lose shields for the rest of the round)
Force Cloak: Force 2, Replaces Turn

Obviously I am really into starcraft and starwars. Here is an idea for the starcraft thing. Incorperate some of the buildings such as:

Engineering Bay
Cost: 40
HP: 60
Def: 16
At: ---
Dam: ---
Abilities: Emplacement
Force Powers:
Force 4
Infantry Armor Upgrade 1: Force 2 Replaces turn (This character gains the commander effect: Allied Infantry [I suppose that now I am going to have to add classifications to units] characters gain the special ability Armor 20, when hit by an attack this character can reduce the damge done by 10, save 20)

Infantry Armor Upgrade 2: Force 2 Replaces turn, Replaces Infantry Armor Upgrade 1 (This character gains the commander effect: Allied Infantry characters gain the special ability Armor 19, when hit by an attack this character can reduce the damge done by 10, save 19) [must research Armor Upgrade 1 before can research Armor Upgrade 2]

Infantry Armor Upgrade 3: Force 2 Replaces turn, Replaces Infantry Armor Upgrade 2 (This character gains the commander effect: Allied Infantry characters gain the special ability Armor 18, when hit by an attack this character can reduce the damge done by 10, save 18) [must research Armor Upgrade 2 before can research Armor Upgrade 3]

Infantry Weapon Upgrade 1: Force 1 Replaces turn, (This character gains the commander effect: Allied Infantry characters gain +1 Attack)

Infantry Weapon Upgrade 2: Force 1 Replaces turn, Replaces Infantry Weapon Upgrade 2 (This character gains the commander effect: Allied Infantry characters gain +2 Attack [must research Weapon Upgrade 1 before can research Weapon Upgrade 2]

Infantry Weapon Upgrade 2: Force 1 Replaces turn, Replaces Infantry Weapon Upgrade 2 (This character gains the commander effect: Allied Infantry characters gain +3 Attack [must research Weapon Upgrade 2 before can research Weapon Upgrade 3]

Some more Protoss Units(Based on the Star Craft II) I'll do more based on the original/Brood Wars. I also would add Warp to the previous Protoss if I may, like a unique "thing" for the Protoss, where the Terrans have stim pack.

Dark Templar 20

Hit Points-50
Defense-17
Attack-10
Damage-30

Special Abilities
Cloaked
Melee Attack
Synergy (+4 Attack if an Allied Dark Templar is within 6 squares)
Khala Link
Force Powers
Force 3
Warp (Force 1: Replaces Turn; This character may Warp to any allied Energy Field on the map.)
Through their Banishment and Journeys the masters of the Void have grown strong together.

High Templar 20

Hit Points-40
Defense-16
Attack-0
Damage-0

Special Abilities
Khala Link
Force Powers
Force 0
Force Renewal 2
Psionic Storm (Replaces Attacks: Force 3, Range 6; Target character and each character adjacent to that character takes 30 damage.)
Feedback (Replaces Attacks: Force 1, Range 6; Target Character loses its force points and takes damage equivelent to the number of force points lossedX10)
Warp (Force 1: Replaces Turn; This character may Warp to any allied Energy Field on the map.)

Although weak physically the High Templar were masters of the Psionic energies flowing within them.

Hey bro, you can't warp in Immortals. Immortals and Collusses cannot be warped they have to be built regularly.

You are right. What about only Damage 10 for Mauraders? They are way stronger than marines and I had to figure something out for Concussion shells. Don't Hydras have a special melee attack now too? I am probably wrong about that though. Maybe close quarters-fighting? ehh not a very good suggestion but just trying to help.

Oooohhh okay. I thought you were saying my custom was over powered. In the game they definitly are, they need to get fixed by a patch soon. It seems all you ever see is an army of zealots/stalkers or marine/mauraders on multiplayer games. It is so annoying. I am at the low end of gold only 10 wins so I don't have much of an opinion.

As for the double attack are you meaning the hydras or the maurader? With the concussion shell I made I really don't want two of these guys to potencial put four of my melee characters to speed 4 in a single phase. That would just bug me. Plus with stim pack they could get another activation and that with double attack would be sick. For hydras I think it would be good, gives them more killing power since they don't have any cool SA, right now.

This is my idea of stim pack...
Stim Pack(Cost 10 Damage; This character gains Speed 8 for the rest of the round and gains +6 Attack) ???

Hydralisk 20
Hit Points 50
Defense 17
Attack 7
Damage 20

Special Abilities
Double Claw Attack(On his turn, this character can make 1 extra attack instead of moving;both attacks must be against adjacent enemies)
Rend +10
Zerg Carapace (When this character takes damage, he can reduce the damage dealt by 10 with a save of 11)

Created to be the perfect hunter, the hydralisk is an enemy's worst living nightmare.
