Re:StarCraft

Well, that particular point wasn't referenced and was very poorly integrated. I wouldn't recommend throwing things into articles in brackets like that, especially without a source to back it up. However, the main problem I had with the that bit of info is that the section is only meant to provide a very quick summary of the races' playstyles. Throwing that in there seems harmless, but unfortunately opens a small can of worms, as it doesn't explain how or why it isn't the case that the Protoss don't rely on expensive, slowproducing and powerful units in the later stages of the game.

One possible interpretation of it to someone unfamiliar with the game—ie, our target audience—could be that in the later stages of the game, the Protoss start producing all their units as fast as the Zerg, which isn't the case. It would require a few more lines to explain what happens in the later stages of the game so that hypothetical person understands exactly what you mean, yet that same person doesn't need to know all that to get the boiled-down overall understanding of the race's gameplay mechanics: that ultimately, the race focuses on expensive, slowproducing and powerful units. It becomes excessive detail because it requires further explanation to understand that bit of detail, but it isn't actually needed by the reader to grasp the basic elements. I hope that helps explain my edit. -- Sabre (talk) 12:10, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a million, this gives me a great insight into your way of thinking. --Flamingo85 (talk) 00:11, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
