The fact that the 2 other races both have units often/always used in the army composition that does amazing damage to armored type units makes ultralisks a bad investment. Fat, slow, melee (ground units), requires additional upgrades, easily focus targetted... 200 GAS (as if i didn't have enough units to spend gas on, because zerglings are garbage) | ||

And saying something will work while being imbalanced is pretty much an oxymoron. | ||

Upon impact, these missiles open up to form a giant megalaser per missile. Megalasers have 200 hp and fires at 20 damage per second, piercing targets and damaging everything in a vertical line. When it kills an enemy unit, the enemy unit will become a zombie. These zombies spawn giant Stalin Robots that corrupt enemies with communist beliefs. You can combine 10 giant Stalin Robots to form a giant Lenin robot. The Lenin robot shoots robot stalin's as ammunition which could be further turned into Stalin Robots. A Lenin Robot, 4 Stalin Robots, and a giant megalaser can all be combined in a Power Rangers fashion to create an even larger robot. That robot shoots out Chuck Norrises as ammunition. Each Chuck Norris does over 9000 damage upon impact and can roundhouse kick the Overmind into oblivion. When there are over 100 Chuck Norrises ingame, the game crashes because it is unable to process that much win. Epic post of the week. | ||

Patch 13: Zerg: - Ultralisks are now flying units - We found having large invinceble ground units could make walls that make ground armies obsolete, so now they fly. So they would do less of nothing. They fly by flapping their legs by the way. | ||

The only other option that makes sense is giving them a combat ability like a charge or warstomp that stuns units. This would certainly make the unit more fun. You would have a tactical use for the fat asses in stead of spending all your time trying to move the damn thing into melle range. | ||

Upright walking allows ultras to move into battle in a more compact formation. When ultras need to fight, they need to get back on all fours, claiming space and pushing units aside/forward. (It would look quite crazy visually, maybe even hinting at a melee type air attack, but give it some real thought  ) | ||

A sort of trample. It would be something like the charge ability of the zealots. When activated they would run straight into the enemy causing damage, but run through (forcefields?) and across units (zerglings?) or something. Would be awesome if the did AoE damage where they trample. Could be friendly damage for all I care. I find this the most likely, another ability. Charge just works on ultralisk lore wise. They even headbutt buildings, how more "Charge" can you get? Armour upgrade standard. It's weird how the ultralisk gets screwed over because it is armoured. Making it normal biological/massive seems weird to me. How can the ultralisk, one of the higher armoured units in the game, not be armoured... | ||
