Not making a game change suggestion, I'm just revealing a vision in my head of my understanding of the game.

Protoss: Static defense that attacks air and ground(Cannon) Mobile ground to ground offense(Zealot)

Terran: Partially static defense(Bunker) that co-functions with offense that attacks air or ground(marine). Defense that is ground to ground or air to air(Planetary fortress lifting off as air to air defense?)

Zerg: A non static defense, in otherwords, a defensive offense. Zerglings multiplying on creep for a cost, but slowly losing life off creep. Air to air defense? (Overlords mutating in to static air to air defense)

Conclusion: This is just a perception of races that are suppose to be more assymetrically different, but proportionally equal. It should be possible to quote blizzard on their assymetrical approach, that their goal is for assymetrically different races.

The Roach Queen:

Tech Lab and Reactor are Terran's macro mechanics. The tech lab limits marauder production(No dual production from reactor).

The Roach Queen: Unlocks roach: Observation: Queen/Roach warren cost the same, same time to build. Zerg's macro mechanic, limiting roach production by roaches only being capable of being produced via queen's larvae.

Roaches are naturally fast.

Conclusion: Micro offensive roach, Offensively defending ling.

Observation: In either alpha or beta queens had the ability to "Deep Tunnel" This meant that zerg could place minimal defense at each hatchery, let's say, one spine crawler. Then, based on which base is targeted, you could deep tunnel all your queens collectively to the particular hatch and potentially cast multiple tranfusions on 1 spine crawler.

This ability was removed from the game.

You lost me at that part... Planetaries don't lift.

Edit: Never mind.. Just realized you're talking about what you think should be added to the game? I don't quite understand because you say this is all "your understanding of the game"

Sorry but what does this mean? Your post is very confusing and I'm not sure what it is supposed to achieve.

Hey man. We all have random and weird thoughts when we are high, that doesn't mean we should write them down and even further doesn't mean we should post on TL. Need some cohesion and transitions man.

You said they lift for air to air...

They most certainly DO NOT lift.

This sounds like Kyfoid's suggest...oh wait, you have his username from the BNet forums. But since this is TL, I'll take it seriously. What's your point? Are you just aimlessly ranting?

Also, guys, this is Kyfoid, the hated troll from the blizz forums. He made this as a serious suggestion over there.

Looking back at your post history you have been temp banned/warned numerous times for creating OPs like this one.. so that explains a lot.

What are you trying to do with this OP. I don't know what exactly we should be talking about.. besides that none of us understand it.

Maybe you should keep the talking in your head until you can explain it to the rest of us.
I got lost at the part with the roaches being compared to marauders.

Roach - Outside natural tech path

Banshee - Inside natural tech path.

Banshee > Roach

Maruader: Limited by tech lab

Roach: Not limited by queen (Roach produced through queen larvae)

Roach warren and the queen cost the exact same and extremely close build time.

Hmm... interesting.

Minimal agressive fast roach.... multiplying defending ling, multiplying on creep, slowly dying off creep.

My greatest hope is that some kind of understanding of this vision comes to you in a dream.

Just keep in mind my signature if you will.



Zerg don't have expansions, they have hatcheries that are placed next to minerals regardless.
