Faction 1: Fantasy race
Faction 2: Sci-fi race
Faction 3: Talking food race
The rest of the game writes itself.

>ITT: You are Blizzard, and have to make a new Starcraft RTS game
I call the boss a witless retard with no imagination, rehashing muh broodwar is a guaranteed flop. We're not making a new Starcraft RTS, we're making a new Warcraft RTS

>>2383574
>How would you do it?
I wouldn't.
I don't want them making any new games. The company is fucked beyond repair. I'd prefer they stop raping old IPs for good & if they do end up making some diabolical trash, then at least let it be a new IP.

>company
*the studio

I make it for mobile with gacha mechanics and retire to my golden yacht.

>>2383574
Make terrans good.

blizzard sjould be forced to whore out the property like GW does with warhammer. we could get real kino that way

>You are forced to add TWO new races, and no Hybrid shit. Explain how would their gameplay be.
Pretty sure they mentioned background races but they're almost always just one line short of a paragraph with little explanation as to how the Protoss dealt with them (I think one of the races mentioned was some literal caveman-tier tech that the Protoss regrets genociding so they left stragglers behind). Before discussing gameplay with the suits, first you have to hang the guy who, for decades, insisted that everything must be "Starcraft must always be multiplayer oriented so if it appears in singleplayer it must be in multiplayer too and we must always have three playable races in multiplayer only" before proceeding.

In short, I wouldn't make the game. But only because the guy who insists on Stellaris-tier BALANCED FOR MULTIPLAYER GUY is some higher up who has more stakes in the company than the guys who make games.

Gameplay
>projectiles are physics-based, not auto-hit
>buildings are realistically-sized
>you can massively zoom out like in Supreme Commander
>you have to build an actually functioning city/base with factories, complex resource gathering, population happiness, who have their own needs, production chains
>actually you don't have to do that, if you are playing Zerg, they are significantly less mechanically challenging
>you can also make use of blueprints and plop them down with complex build orders, so Pros can just build their min-maxed worker/steel-producing/weapons district without much thought behind it, the thought went into it, before starting the game
>you have access to complex strategical weapons like nukes, long-range artillery, naval units, space units, etc

>Any plot ideas?
>Hard mode: You are forced to add TWO new races, and no Hybrid shit. Explain how would their gameplay be.
Faction 1:
The Burning Legion invades the Starcraft universe, because Kerrigan fucked up the timeline with her ridiculous Mary Sue shit.

The Burning Legion plays by their own rules with various slave races they start out with like Fel Orcs for example and need to tech up for a while, before having access to their proper Legion units. They also have heroes, which no other race has access to.

Faction 2:
The Terran Dominion
Split the Terrans up into two faction. A more proper Imperialist Military, which invades from Earth and a rag--tag semi-criminal rebel group, which uses dangerous technology and guerilla tactics to get an advantage.

Pay me

>You are forced to add TWO new races, and no Hybrid shit. Explain how would their gameplay be.
I'm not sure what the gameplay would be, but ONE of the new races would have to be the UED. remember how they were hyped up to be the strongest, and that the UED fleet we did see was just not really a big part of the main UED (but still managed to basically fuck everyone over for the majority of brood war)

If Starcraft 3 is just another isometric perspective RTS, it's a failure and only getting a dead cat bounce. That kind of Starcraft 3 is just Starcraft 2: 2. Starcraft 3 needs to fundamentally re-envision the approach to strategy done in real-time in a sci-fi setting.

imo
The best way to do it is to make 3 factions a struggle of survival and balance of power, that makes new from the old

UED comes in full force down on the Terrans. Surviving Terrans are backed into a corner and in desperation turn to the Protoss. Protoss have internal strife coming from the pressure to respond to what essentially amounts to internal politics but they also struggles to just ignore it because the UED does pose a new kind of existential threat altogether. This internal political strife among hte Protoss causes a new Protoss schism, the fractured Protoss that refuse to be involved with the Terran are captured by Zerg strays (the action of now-rogue and surviving Cerebrates, who see their own ending by reaching the next level of Zerg evolution), and the Zerg uses them to evolve new Protoss-Zerg Hybrids akin to the Xel'naga, but wholly their own beings: The new Protoss praising their own "awakening" in the same way Kerrigan acted after her emergence from the chrysalis- seeing the life as this new-Zerg as a unexpected fortune. Meanwhile, the Terran-Protoss alliance has full cultural cross-contamination: ie. units like Marines and Firebats becoming enveloped by the zeal of the Protoss Zealot warrior caste, cybernetic legs and all, Templars finding a new level of Zen working with SCVs and replacing the decaying drone fleet, etc.

So you got:
A hardline UED desiring hegemony with absolutely sick earth technology
Classic Terran mixing with Classic Protoss and becoming the best of both
Consequentialist nu-superaliens high on power

i wrote a big long post which exceeded double the character limit for /vst/ posts
and it's still unfinished
now i don't even know if i should post it
i have to go to bed now
if i get enough replies, i'll finish and post it all in parts after i wake up

>>2387023
great ideas but people will complain that it will be too much of a departure from the old.
so you have super Terran
Terran-Protoss
and Zerg-Protoss
