A new "Terran Gameplay" trailer from StarCraft II is now available, showing off more of the eagerly anticipated RTS sequel in the works at Blizzard. The clip is a whopping 665 MB, but in return offers nearly 12 minutes of footage. You can find the download on Gamer's Hell and PixelRage.

Propagandhi, I loved those games that you listed, but it seems to me that some of them are much more constrained by paper, rock, scissors mechanics (ie calvary vs pikemen vs swordsmen, etc) than starcraft. At least in starcraft you have 3 unique races each with a variety of spells and special abilities to use. And if you think starcraft is about "build[ing] a force faster than your opponent" then you have never actually played the game. Use of support units and abilities, tactical maneuvering, and strategy are much more important than sheer numerical superiority. Not to mention that to produce more units than your opponent, you need more resources. And controlling territory and resources is hardly a simple matter, in real war or in a game.
