You don't actually need a mass of ultras, you just need a few ultras with good, cheap and durable queen support. | ||

Ten ultras is too many. You aren't even going to be able to get half of them into the fight and the remainders will crowd out whatever else you have. Try just 2 or 3, with a lot of support from other units, mainly zerglings but with hydra support. And pull them back when they are wounded, you wouldn't throw away an immortal or a tank, why would you throw away a wounded ultra? I just beat another gold player 20 minutes ago with ultras. He roasted my entire hydra ling army of at least 100 supply while zealots took all the damage and then razed my nat then started going to town on my main. Then the ultras started popping in pairs and the remnants of his army just dropped like flies. He would focus the ultras, then some speedlings would pop and do tons of damage. I want to see some platinum players at least try out ultras. | ||

Also reaching the lategame with unupgraded hydras or roaches is nearly imposible (maybe a baneling/ling combo) and ultras without upgrades are not that good... T have Marine/Hellion. P have Zealot. T/P units cost more gas on average than Z units. Especially T. | ||

In ladder I've yet to find a consistent use for them. It isn't that they suck but it seems nearly impossible to safely tech to them without cutting your army up to small. As many have pointed out, broodlords costs for cost are just far superior specifically because they aren't trapped in chokes, you can fly them up a cliff to help keep them alive etc. Imagine if the colossus couldnt walk over cliffs or its own army. That ability to maneuver is what makes them so viable and on top of that they are a (extremely with upgrade) ranged unit. Consider that an ultra is melee and is blocked by terrain, its own units, a random rock (they seem to get hung up on things constantly) and suddenly their awesomeness diminishes. I love them and try to use them whenever I can get away with it but to be quite honest everytime I know I would be better served making a broodlord. | ||

That being said I think an hp regeneration upgrade (similar to roaches) at the ultralisk caveren would be sweet. Imagine the tanks those things would be with super regenerating life. | ||

i wouldn't mind a queen structure, tier 2 probably, to research off-creep movement speed and... i suppose starting energy. ... in order to turn it into a more offensive unit mid/late game currently it has 1.5 speed and a 1.7 creep-multiplier hydralisk has 2.25 speed and a 1.5 creepmod roach, too has 2.25 speed but a 1.3 creepmod | ||

All I saw was one game where Dimaga used it against Morrow. However he dominated the whole game and had 3 more expos. No wonder his fully upgraded Ultralisks where finally able to break through Morrows 0-0 Marines and Tanks... | ||
