Zerg building

[Smokiehunter]

I think the zerg need a building to eat their own units. I think it would returen some of your min that you spent on them and even some gas.

What do you think the bans did in the first vid after the colossus ran away they could just sit there taking up pop while the protos built a fleet and came in and owned the zerg with air.

so to counter the zerg build up air and scrifice the bans to get some needed min back.

No, the idea of consuming units is for other units like defilers. Buildings are just to allow you to build those kinds of units. However, maybe there can be a building which can buff units around it, so they get stronger, attack faster or something like that.

I think both ideas are great. Terrans will be able to demolish their buildings for minerals, why not Zerg reusing the resources of units.

[-LT-]

Great idea! And what about protoss? Zerg will have that and terran will have salvage.

[AcE_01]

good idea =P

protoss shoyld have like..salvage as well..like warp back building to get resources back

lol...

[-LT-]

Yes but... That's not their style.

[AcE_01]

i know! make their buildings into energy matter and then turn it into resources!

lol...

[-LT-]

Maybe turn their buildings into energy that probes can gather like minerals?

[AcE_01]

yeah tahts what i was thinking!...but then that..hmm..actually yeah that is pretty balanced. terran take time to salvage. zerg take time to consume. protoss will take time to gather all the "resources back"

[BnechbReaker]

encouraging more building abilities is good

[Hunter]

so
Maybe turn their buildings into energy that probes can gather like minerals?

Sounds good.

You guys should work at Blizzard:P

[-LT-]

I know. That's my dream job.

[Protosscommander]

Well, im so excited, to see those Zerg buildings in Starcraft 2, i hope they will become more, scary look.

PEACE :thumbup:

I expect awesome animations for the buildings like that Nydus Worm

The terrans already have salvage (which I think is a little cheap anyway). I think that in the interests of keeping all the races separate and distinct that all of the races should not have this ability. Even though I love and play protoss, they are not the sort of race that would dismantle their warmachine. The buildings are prefabricated and then warped into the war zone. It would cost as many minerals to send them back as to get them. So it doesn't work the protoss at all.

As for the Zerg, it does make slightly more sense to consume units, but the defilers didn't gain resources back, he gained energy to use his spells. It would be interesting if a building could consume a unit (say zergling) to increase it's rate of production, research, or hey! to heal itself a little. I think that would be very interesting.

While that might be interesting for the Zerg to have, I hope it is not the same as the salvage ability. Each race should have their own distinct abilities. At least we should make them a little different, no?
