I mean in terms of the effort put into the unit creation. SC developers paid attention to everything from meticulous balance, uniqueness/usefulness, to easily distinguishable models to their very "personalities," personalities which are difficult to connect to a player trained to see his units as interchangeable parts (which, practically speaking, they are).

As someone who does not particularly enjoy poring over cost tables to determine the optimum build order in a given tactical situation, especially when the game can be well-designed without them, I am endlessly grateful for this choice.

It means less memorization, more dynamic tactical response, which is part of why I like the Pylon system, too.

I'm not so sure of that. Most of the people to whom I have introduced it, including my brothers and my friends, have all become bored with it fairly quickly. Then again, all *their* friends were playing StarCraft and Legends.

TA vs. Starcraft. Could have been Stimpack Marines, Extended Range Marines...
