Any way as I was saying befor I was rudly interupeted by the rest of the board at the time.
Trees need to grow.
Take a look at it like this. Your busy reclaiming a bunch of trees. Suddenly "BOOM" they go up in flames due to your plasma cannons blowing up an enamy scout unit. "Noooooo!!" you cry as your energy intake is reduced to smithereains, your cover is blown, your line of sight defense destroyed. But what if they could grow back??
Mearly leave the game for half an hour and BAM!!! A new forest! Plus if your leave forests alone long enough you'll end up playing in a map of great Redwoods!
(Perhape as tress grow in size, teh textures should change to represent the tree type being different?)
This would alos be fab for mod's! Like porting SC (the original). Then you could have protos walking round in there tree houses, eating trees, planting trees, you get the jist!! (I'm mixing games arn't I??)
Plus you only have to look at how cool it was to Plant Narly Berries in UNREAL, and watch them grow into plants to see what a great addition this would make to the game!!

I was at work... It was a long lunch break... (hay that only takes 5 mins you know... just a case of finding the right sort of images...)
Notice I picked one with lots of trees... just to keep us on topic
