I want to see an ultralisk stand on its hind legs and take a bite out of non massive air units and then bring the whole unit down to the ground where it can stomp on it.

Ultralisks will get an ability where they can shoot 2 special missiles out of their eyes. 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.


I lol'd so hard at this.

ultras should be able to run over non massive units similar to the colossis but without the not terrain walking. just small unit and FF walking. The ultras biggest problem is that it cant get to where it needs to be.

And that would be like a nuke on legs which can also attack?

I'm calling it: Trample. I don't lile ultras just being able to run across your own units. Give them a charge-like ability, micro FTW.

Reactive Armour:
In some modern military vehicles, there is a layer of explosive material sandwiched inside the armour plating. The result is that the armour actually blows itself up when the explosive layer is penetrated. This effectively neutralizes the damage of armour-piercing weapons.
If this were somehow a biological ability of an ultralisk, the result would be to negate the bonus to armoured that some attackers have. They would still take the rest of the damage normally. The "reactive armour" should only be able to handle a few shots before needing time for the ultralisk to regenerate. In a battle, this might give a player the time needed to focus-down any units with bonus damage to armour.
This could also allow for an extra explosion animation whenever Ultralisks are getting hit by armour-piercing attackers and more explosions are always cooler than less explosions.
I think this should be an upgrade at the ultralisk cavern, but maybe replace the existing armour upgrade.

I'll admit to having a rather low post count, but I'm afraid I've never played wc3... Reactive armour is real

when ultra low on hp it will go into rage mode that will give it god mode for 5 sec and and when it dies then from the boody of comes out zerglings about 15 of them and the other zerg units can eat the reamins of the ultralisk to gain life...or make it push units personly i think option 1 is way coolr

Research for Dark Swarm-like ability which costs a lot of energy, but moves with the Ultra.
or remove the upgrade for speed or armour and just give it to them.

Also improve pathing.

I think someone else mentioned in earlier, but the realistic fix to ultras would be to remove their armor modifier. As it is right now, they get completely destroyed by units that do extra damage to armored (marauders etc).

However, this change might very well make ultralisks overpowered

All jokes aside,
the best way to fix them imo, is to let them be able to walk over units just like the colossus can, perhaps tack in on to one of the upgrades. Their pathing and completely getting stuck is what makes them so damn hard to use. Offcourse just granting them one of the 2 upgrades for free would do as well, it's a bit silly that a unit with no abilities needs 2 upgrades to be really effective.

Eating your units to gain stim-like bonus. How long does it last depends on unit consumed (short effect with zergling, but if he eats whole ultralisk he will be cracked up for like 1 minute straight )

Cannibalism
The Ultralisk consumes a zerg unit and gains the "Blood of the Brood" buff increasing his movement and attack speed by 50% for 10 seconds.

Research an extra pair of digging claws on the front of the ultralisk that allow it to scale cliffs. These claws will fold back onto the ultralisk and look sorta like wings giving it a bit more family resemblance to the speedling. The research will be 210 seconds and cost 100/100. Cost is negligable, but you have to really want to spend that time researching.

Um I've used a LOT of ultras in ZvP [Hint, If I use a T3 its 90% ultra 10% broodlords] and situationally in ZvT. They're damn good already. Now a +0 ultra is better than a pre patch +3 ultra. And now they gain +3 per upgrade. Its gonna be sick. The only problem is that blink stalkers and marauders run rings around them so you need a lot of lings to back them up.
