Yeh, thats the one. They are slow as hell without it
What other upgrades / downgrades has the game had in about 6 months? I was searching through all the upgrade uptions for it whilst trying to build more units and counter at the same time last night

This, collossus are simple retreat your army and swing your vikings around to get them to attack from the side.
My issue against HT's is for the most part i am quite a defensive player, im not yet good enough to be trading armies its usually win or loose in a single fight.. as a result the HT's usually come at me and storm me before i can EMP them... If i was the aggressive player and could get off some cloaked EMP's before the fight began things may go much better but thats easier said that done.
Good luck getting the EMPs off within the collosi's range if there's an observer(s). Everything's against us Terrans.
Hopefully HotS will add a better way to go so that AOE dmg doesn't rape most T units.

In PvP is it worth getting 3-6 phoenix out to counter 3 gate robo and lifting the immortals while your stalkers trade in early stages? Was thinking you can sweep to the mineral lines and harass after you win the battle and put them on the back foot. Not tried it so far though.
Not unless you open with it. A stargate Phoenix opening is probably the most devastating if done right and either not scouted or not dealt with properly. It's also very micro intensive so unless ur micro is good I wouldn't try it without practice first.
The aim of a stargate build is to cripple the opponents economy and then keep them around for harrassment through the game or to follow it up with something like blink stalkers and you pick up the immortals.
My PvP build is pretty much phoenix every game, 2gate stargate get 6 phoenix max unless they build colos then i get +1 and a few more. Expand and put down a robo if they have one. Usually win most games. http://i.imgur.com/uY39X.png

- EU...
To have the ability to play on two different regions, you need 2 licenses of SC2 (one for each region) and 2 copies of the SC2 client installed (one for each region).
After you have replied to that e-mail in your post saying you want to switch one of your licenses over to the US, go to the battle net website and log in and go to the "account" page. Click on the icon for your US server licence, then on the next page click "install/reinstall the game". This will download you the US client. Make sure you install it to a different directory to the one which your EU client is installed in, otherwise it will overwrite.
After that's done, you can play. Just open the client for whichever region you want to play in, and enter your username and password which are associated with the licence for that region.
Make sense? If you have any more questions just ask. I've got a US and an EU account and I use them both regularly
. The US server is about half a league worse (I am very high diamond on that, but mid diamond in EU).

They are all fairly balanced, but each have a unique playstyle. A lot of it is down to personal preference.
At the highest levels of play there are arguments as to which race is the most powerful, but for the average Joe player they are so close it doesnt matter.
Wrong.
Protoss are by far the easier to play at a good level than the other two. Terran requires quite high micro and Zerg requires a lot of mechanics and a certain play style.
You will ultimately find the race you want to play and make sure to stick to one after a while or you'll find it hard to improve.

wrong.
No protoss is easier to learn and get good at because there mechanics are are so forgiving (FF's and ability to turtle on 2 base and get a huge deathball), but they are hard to master. But saying that the other day Sheth on his stream decided to play a game v terran randomly and crushed a zerg (masters) and just was like... lol marines are good.
I realise what I said can be taken as opinion but it is the widely accepted opinion. Toss has the most normal mechanics and that's without them having imba AOE units.

I started just fine with Zerg.
Your statement that Protoss are easy to learn may be correct, but your assertion that I am wrong is not.
My comments were regarding balance and not ease of use, your justifying point is completely tangential.
Anyone can start with any race and be fine but Toss are easiest to use and easiest to play at a higher level than Bronze.
I won't argue with you about Toss imba because I really don't care if you see the light or not XD
