I'm happy for that joke, it means that we have an unused unit (or skin) to work with.

I am not happy for that joke, they need to stop screwing around and finish the damn game!

It's nearly done, the modellers have very little to do, someone probly made a silly one as a joke, sent it around the office as a joke, and someone kept it for april fools.
It won't get done sooner minus it, and I can't wait to play tauren blood

Blizzard's 1st April jokes are usually just lame and unrealistic.

However, when I visited www.wowhead.com to look up a quest, I had a good laugh as they had changed the front page so it looked like thottbot's :lol:

The sword and the faith

Quote from SC2.com Tauren Marine page

Note the presence of another Azerothian genotype in this image, in this case a vicious aquatic species known as a Murlok. Whether this is some kind of mascot or an amphibious alien mercenary is unknown.

I fucking lost the game on that one. :lol:

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

[2026-6-23. : 3:29 am]

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- :wob:

Symmetry -- :wob:

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
