Anyone think this is the Xel'Naga? This was seen between the Protoss/Zerg Egyptian mosaic climbing a pyramid. It 'may' be the hybrid of a Protoss and a Hydralisk but whatever Zeratul was reading is ancient.

Relatively ancient and inactive

Probably. Ancient ruins are either old Protoss or Xel'Naga. No other ruinish peoples in the SC universe.

Considering it showed this pic around when Zery was talking about the Xel'naga returning, I'm guessing so.

BTW: IP you should code an entrance page that plays the "I knew you'd find your way here, eventually" sound when you access the site.

When Zeratul was reading the Egyptian mosaic in the caves, he mentioned Zerg when it shows Zerg, then mentioning Protoss when it shows Protoss then said Xel'Naga as the camera approaches to that picture.

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 -- 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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
