Check the dev journals on the forum, frog boy hopes to have replays sorted very soon =]

replays will keep the community, not forgeting modding of course .

yes, please

The only thing I consider more important than replays are the balance of items.

I belive more than a few percentage of the community will watch replays. In starcraft almost 100% watched replays. At least every starcraft player I have ever spoken to.

Sure. With a gimicky hack, and no information that crashes 1/2 way through.

After the second round some people in IRC asked for a copy of the replay so I looked up how to view them and checked it out. The replay ran flawlessly and it was actually a really interesting match to watch (in my opinion). As I sat down to think out what kind of commentary would be useful whlie viewing it it just seemed natural that referring to war score instead of time and discussing my purchases and reasoning for my actions would be pretty informative from the perspective of a how-to-rook guide.

Now as a review of the entire game, if say you wanted better insight into what our opponents had purchased, how they'd spec'd exactly, that's not nearly so useful, but remembering what my build and purchaess were it is useful as an example of my rook strat in action and as just entertainment value they seem fine. I would wager a lot of people who watch replays set it to quad speed or higher and just sit back and relax, they probably don't inspect a lot of the figures presented all that thoroughly.
