As someone who uses Starcraft 2 strictly for mapmaking, is there any reason why I should buy the expansion? Will there be any features I won't have access to if I don't besides the models, portraits, ect. from the HOTS dependencies?
Art (2D and 3D) and sounds won't be available. This includes the massive amount of new doodads (iirc there were some pretty cool things like cliff doodads and so on that don't have any equivalent in WoL, and there are also protoss tilesets and doodads as well).
Everything that is not included in a HotS dependency file seems to be available to WoL.
Anyone knows if there will be some kind of selecion limit to units? Right now there is no good way to make a player unable to select less than unlimited units.. Nothing blizzard have mentioned? No one with inside info? :p

Officially no, you could always detect when a player select something and check if the unit count exceed your limit, then deselect some for him or something like that.

Yea thats how the SC2BW maps have it triggered.
Rumor* I heard that all units from SC1 will now be available on Hots.

@Kabelkorven: Go
Haven't heard a word about it, so most likely no, sorry.
If it's not in WoL as of patch 2.0.4 (current patch), and it isn't any 2D, 3D or sound art, it's most likely not coming on HotS release.

Yah I know about the selection limit trigger. But it is a bit clumsy and not optimal. I was hoping for a smoother way : /
What, think about the new units. Like defiler, reaver (i HOPE he is in) Corsair (common i hope the hole unit if finished), Guardian.
New units like it.
How do we get the Art Tools when you have preordered HotS from a reseller? I wanna export to M3 using them
