Zerg King

[Star-Crap]

Yes we all know that blizzard said that then might not give terren and zerg a super unit but picture this...

Zerg King, sure maybe not a power house like the Protoss MotherShip but more a strategic unit that could hold his own in battle. He could be like a leech unit, he could eat units to get more powerful and wut not.

wut else would added to him if he were real? im courious to hear wut people would add.

[generalrievous]

hmm sounds good but I dont think zerg or terran should have super units like the ms because it goes with the protoss theme to have few but powerful expensive crap

[overmind]

you posted this just to get minerals didn't you? lol

a better name
a spawning ability (eg lings or banelings only)
infest units on the feild of battle.

and this topic should be in the super units forum

[Star-Crap]

minerals?

[overmind]

oh sorry lol visit the shop and you'll get it

[Zerat]

maybe a good thing but the " ... he could eat units to get more powerful ... " thing is like the lvl up system from warcraft 3 so it's out, if there will be heros in SC2 (and propobly there will be) we want them to be like in SC1 wyth stats thst don't change

The guy doesn't know about minerals?!?! Yet he has a pet probe! ;)

well i heard that soul hunters (protoss) get powered up for units that they kill or something thing like that. Maybe something around that nature could be given.

Soul hunters have been cancelled because they failed the coolness test or something like that. But i think this idea is fine if there are some limitations (like it only can get powered up 5 times)

[ArchLimit]

At first I was adverse to the idea of not having ultimate units for Terran and Zerg, but now I'm really glad that they don't. It makes the MS stand out a lot more and I think with big mothers like the Thor or not, it gives a lot more color and variety to the races.

That being said, I think the Zerg King idea seems pretty cool. Leveling up through devouring things would make sense for the zerg. However, again, this sort of seems to similar to WC3 heroes and what not.

thats why the reaver should be next on the chopping board. ^.^

[capthavic]

Having a single super unit really doesn't feel very zerg-like to me. And that just sounds like a bad unit.

[Star-Crap]

ok not a super unit but a powerful one like the thor.

woot 100th post

[Gasmaskguy]

Instead of getting better from killing, it should just be a unit that is the new Ultralisk. Make it look like a huge Lurker and Iam happy. Not the burrowed spike-attack, more like fast attackrating claws cutting everything groundbound open :D

[BoydofZINJ]

zerg king = Kerrigan (well maybe Zerg Queen since it is an insectoid type race). How many Bee kings or Ant Kings are there?

[Star-Crap]

lets not go into the science of things

[BoydofZINJ]

actually in retrospec the zerg king was the overmind. He passed the torch to Kerrigan when he got offed and the new overmind got UED'd (guess UED is now a verb).

[BnechbReaker]

zerg king? what a terrible name

[MarineCorp]

Yeah i agree 'Zerg King'??? what kind of name is that? i hope Blizzard will start to improve this name however i can't wait for the appearance for the Zerg King ^_^

[Gasmaskguy]

The name Behemoth would fit a big zerg unit

[MarineCorp]

True i agree 'Behemoth' sounds cool but please explain why?

[Gasmaskguy]

cause behemoth sounds big and powerful(also a bit evil) and it would totally fit ultralisk nr2

[b0urne]

zerg king = Kerrigan (well maybe Zerg Queen since it is an insectoid type race). How many Bee kings or Ant Kings are there?


i'm with this guy. if they made a zerg king it would be this puny little insect that the queen bangs and then consumes. Sorry guys, but men get shafted in the insect world and makes me even more glad to be human!

[TheOneInPower]

Yeah, the term 'King' would not fit at all. I like the idea of a new Ultralisk. The zerg need a unit to be a meat tank to absorb punishment. A giant lurker sounds too used.. I'm thinking something completely new and maybe even use that afore mentioned enemy consume thing. Give the unit a really massive, fanged mouth. Multiple rows of fangs...yeah.

[Protosscommander]

Well i think the Zerg King is gonna be the Hydralisk, if im not mistaken, thats what i think, of course Kerrigan is the Queen of the Zerg.

PEACE :thumbup:

[Blackskies]

How about instead of a mega unit zerg have it where they can mass units easier. Like maybe if they had an upgrade where units could fast build for a certain period of time? I mean this would make sense because the zerg could rapidly mass a large force to combat the thor's or ms

[-LT-]

i'm with this guy. if they made a zerg king it would be this puny little insect that the queen bangs and then consumes. Sorry guys, but men get shafted in the insect world and makes me even more glad to be human!

LOL Me too.

[Gasmaskguy]

"LOL Me too."

huh, you also get banged and consumed? man that sucks..

[-LT-]

Hahaahah I'm too even more glad to be human! LOL

[Blackskies]

A super unit for the zerg doesn't sound right. I mean the zerg arent supposed to have big huge units they are supposed to have a large force of smaller units or a large force in general. So it would make more sense to make it easier to infest things or for the zerg to spread and spawn faster.

[kenshin72]

Im thinking that instead of a super unit, a special kind of building because zerg focuses more on it. they are not really like terran and protoss who has like the thor and MS. That way we the three races are more distinct and definitely unique from each other

[freedom23]

if there'll be a king i bet its gonna be raynor lol.. and a new b*tch (sorry for the word) zerg son ^_^

[Protosscommander]

What do you think guys if the Zerg King is gonna be Duran, hehehe what do you think?

PEACE :thumbup:

[freedom23]

duran is a loyal subject of the queen of blades but.. it just wouldnt fell right or look good having a black guy and an infested alien ghost doing it lol the product will be a new breed indeed thereby giving birth to the "DARK ZERG" hahahahaha

[string_me_along]

Kerrigan, Raynor, Duran, and Razagal (clearly resurrected since she was infested) in a four-some. That would make the ulimate hybrid of crazy.

Infested Raynor would be zerg king. He would have little wings and get raped then eaten by Kerrigan (the fate of most insect consorts to their queens). Duran has something to do with the Xel'Naga, so he's probably the Queen Mum (ugly hats and all)

[Gasmaskguy]

Are you a racist or what?

[Star-Crap]

lol @ freedom23

[Smokiehunter]

lol the terrans will drop water melons, fried chicken, and corn bread to slow pursuit.

[Swarming Surtur]

hang on... i'm confused... i thought the team specifically seaid that they WERE going to have zerg and terran counterparts the the mothership ???
and the balance issues that would bring up, you cant just have the protoss stopping time and creating black holes and give the terran and zerg nothing to counter act that, that would be stupid, incredibly stupid
and sure, they could give them something i suppose, like.. the terrans could get some sort of space satallite laser thing and rain down burning death, or the zerg could have some sort of psi beakon thingy that could call a butt load of swarms down from orbit, but that still seems off to me
in short, i think there WILL be a counter part
oh and hi, this is my first post, nice place ya got here
nice place :thumbup:

[Swarming Surtur]

hmmm... touche sir lich, touche
i hadnt thought of that, i thought they would keep the black hole ability
although i play zerg more often, that DID look pretty kick-ass
a zerg king... hmmmm, i suppose that makes since... with the right description and abilities, like an overlord-esque unit that would be like a warlord pushing his army forward. providing bonuses, like increased speed, attack damage, regeneration
that WOULD be pretty cool, i wonder what it would look like

[Drafter]

Picture the size of the Queen alien from AvP movie,now picture it maybe ten times bigger with no big jelly-like butt,better let the other bug worry about the reproducing...

[kaelthas18]

can some 1 tell me y they r not still releasing any creature from the Zerg side ...they making it more suspense.hahaa

[Gasmaskguy]

well, they have promised to show em before 2008, so dont worry. You can look at some zerglings and mutalisks meanwhile ;)

[Vindicatormsc]

a super-sized Queen sure sounds interesting....


here's mine:i call it the Zerg Crippler.it would be some oversized Lurker of sorts,capable of launching powerfull(and i mean POWERFULL) spines at both air and ground targets(he would not have to be burrowed to attack.i just used the Lurker to give some exemple for the looks of it).the spines would be filled with acid,which would cause splash damage upon the spine's impact with the enemy.this acid would leave acid spores just like the devourer does,except that it wouldn't slowdown the enemy's firerate,just cause additional damage.it would also have the ability lauching a large cloud of paralizing spores,capable of slowing down enemy firerate and movement.this ability would last forever once in effect,like the Devourer's acid spores.

[Vindicatormsc]

thanks for the welcome,markus ^^

if you read again,you you notice that i said it doesn't need to be burrowed to attack,and that i just used the Lurker to show more or less how the Crippler would look like

also,i think i should explain the cloud of paralizing spores:it would be launched in the form of a cloud,but it would not stay like that forever.the effect would only be permanent to those hit by the cloud,which would last for about 5 seconds and then disperse

[Vindicatormsc]

thanks,i am glad someone appreciated my idea.sometimes i worry because i have a tendency to create overpowered units,glad it was not the case here.
