Description: "You Must Construct Additional Pylons" is a memorable quote uttered in the video game Starcraft. In the game, the alien race Protoss, one of the playable character races in the game, requires Pylons to provide energy for buildings and allow construction of bases. The phrase became a popular catchphrase online, inspired YTMND pages and parodies.
Description: Battlecruisers stem as far back as the early days of the Terran Confederacy. While there are many classes of battlecruisers, all are armed with lasers and protected by neosteel armor. These laser weapons consist of multiple twin-cannon laser batteries for aerial defense and surface bombardment, located across the battlecruiser's hull. Its air-to-air guns—not as powerful as its air-to-ground ones—are equipped with advanced optics and sensors to deal with fast moving targets. The vessel's air-to-ground guns make use of electromagnetic coils to increase the potency of their shots. The Minotaur-class underwent field testing at Valhalla, and came into service in 2502, used by the Terran Dominion.
Description: The Viking was designed with versatility in mind, down to the letter. Most moving parts in the vehicle can be replaced with easy-to-find spares, and even the complex servo systems located in the arms and legs are interchangeable. It is not uncommon for Viking pilots to ditch an arm in order to replace a damaged leg servo and return to battle. However, while the Viking's versatility is its greatest asset, it is also one of its drawbacks. Few pilots are able to handle both combat modes; quite a few die in training, and the majority of Viking pilots are killed in their first battle (the term "cherry" is used for Viking pilots who have yet to carry out a transformation). Those who survive however, become amongst the most skilled pilots.
Description: “Not Enough Minerals” is the most iconic warning message in RTS history. Inspired by StarCraft-style resource management and high-pressure macro play, this design speaks directly to players who know the pain of empty bases, stalled builds, and one more worker too late. Perfect for real-time strategy fans, competitive gamers, esports viewers, and anyone who learned the hard way that economy wins wars. Ideal for RTS veterans, strategy gamers, and PC gaming nostalgia enjoyers.
