Well, the Protoss were (still kind of are) a very religious race.
I just wonder, how come the āReaverā fits, but the āGrieferā does not?
Itās worth noting that for the most part there are 4th unit variations for LotV- They just arenāt used. Iām pretty sure it was always meant to be 3 unit choices, but there are plenty of additional abilities and a handful of variations that can be added ingame with a bit of effort.
For instance, the Taldarim Zealot has voicelines (which may or may not have been reused for the Supplicant) and a gimmick ability called āTerrazine Furyā. The Purifiers had the Scout, with Afterburners for its gimmick.
Reaver has a certain eloquence that āGrieferā lacks.
It could take the name Abrogator (like Zeratulās disruptors in co-op) or Nullifier

Wasnāt āNullifierā the name of Nerazim Sentry that might have been planned?
I remember the Nerazim High Templar at least was going to be called āSignifierā.
How about āPrimusā as the name of the Purifier High Templar?
Nullifier was the original name for the Sentry, same with Disruptor and maybe one other thing before they ended up with Sentry.
The Signifier and Warp Ray (Aiur Void Ray) are among the more complete units in the editor, but thatās not a high bar since those are the only two that actually got units. The Purifier Scout, Taldarim Skytalon, etc. etc. only have leftover bits and pieces in the data.
Ah. I see.
What would you call a Nerazim Adept?
Youāre right! Thatās very strange. For some reason the name āGrieferā just feel weird on my teeth.
Also, do some of you come from Japan or Thailand? This might be my stereotype, but only people from either country seem to be this obsess with name.
Especially, Thai, I once witness a heated argument about name for hours. Iām not sure, but it seems they think that many problem can be fixed with a changing of name. They seem to be arguing about what to call a naive rodent. It seems like whether this rodent is annoying or not depend solely on what their official name is. There is also this girl who got dump and face a string of bad luck; she legitimately change her name because it sound similar to a frictional character in old folklore or something. (Although itās possible that my student was screwing with me, his explanation was too vivid that Iām sure there is some truth to it.)
US, actually, just very particular about Protoss names since they are my favorite race. IMO, there needs to be a certain eloquence for it to sound Protoss enough. In the particular example of āGrieferā, the only definition I can think is the rather human āsomeone who spoils othersā enjoyment in gamesā, which the Protoss likely have no concept of.
Honestly, I would split the Adept from its position in the tech tree to a new combat role so that the Instigator (and assuming 4 unit variations, the Taldarim Slayer as well) can take itās spot. In the new role (maybe Anti Light or Harassment) for the Nerazim unit should be the scrapped Soul Hunter from WoL.
As purely an Adept, though, maybe Shadow Seeker, but Iām not too sure. Itās difficult coming with real-ish Protoss unit names and gimmicks.
I kind of like āShadow Seekerā.
Thatās good one. Donāt like the Primus though.
If youāve not heard of it, thereās a map creator that made the first two SC2 campaigns in coop mode, and he did most of the missions of LoTV by now.
Thereās a 4th variant for every unit there.
Where can I find this?
On EU servers, type coop, youāll get a list of all the missions by the same creator.
Is it only on EU? What is the Creators name?
the first two are on US, all three are on EU.
his name is raegLordDz.
Iām not seeing any missions that would have 4th variants. Is it specific?
you gain access to spear of adun/new unit variants as you complete the missions, theres a bank file across all campaigns, so you should complete them in order and do the bonus objectives to get more perks.
For example thereās Talādarim melee and ranged warrior variants, but you only gain access to them once Alarak joins you.
Oh. You mean all three Campaigns. I thought you meant Missions.
The LOTV coop campaign is out on EU, most of the missions are out now.
Wait. Mission Progress is carried over?
