You can do a Nydus Network in SC1. It just requires a proxy hatch and Hive tech lol.

1 hatch hydra would destroy anything.



it would be even more effective because no lair needed PLUS u get 8 minerals per patch in sc1

no one would be able to survive 1 hatch hydra

SC2 Queens in SC1 ZvZ should be enjoyable.

Dunno about queen. 150 minerals is alot to ask from a zerg in early game.

Queen replaces a hatchery. i think its been well documented and proven that a queen>>> a normal hatchery.

Yeah your right, queens don't attack, or have 2 other abilties... and they def wouldnt hit corsairs allowing you different teching options.

I love how all the Protoss players in this thread complained about Queen, early Z aggression, and how all the Terran players complained about everything except the MULE

This poll is too biased

Queens are also an anti-air unit. That negates so many sair/wraith builds allowing zerg to drone up without having to insta-tech to hydras for prevention and losing overlords early on.

lol hydras are teir 1 it's hardly an issue to get hydra tech in sc1 also if all zerg did was mass drones he'd get fake saired and just get 2 gated

Yes but you don't have to waste that ~100 gas (den + 2 hydras) speeding up his lair and tech which is a big deal. Having the queen alone will prevent early vult/wraith/sair with little to no losses more efficiently with no slowdown in teching. And if he 2 gates when you queen, that's even better since you'll have the queen which you can micro as well as even more lings with spawn larvae.

Queen is already in SC1.
Pretty sure it's not imba.

Also, Queen is not an ability.

most imba?
it would be auto win for all of them so i dont see how something can be most imba

Take a balance, put two weights, each on one side
A) 5 Kg and 5 Kg
They are balanced

B) 20 Kg and 5 Kg
The balance has shifted its balance to the left side

C) 6 Kg and 5 Kg
The balance is slightly skewed towards the left side

B) is the most imbalanced



Comparison fails.

A) 5 Kg and 5 Kg.
They are balanced.

Let 5 Kg = x

20Kg and 5 Kg
4x and x.
4x > x.

At this point side with 4x is the most imbalanced. However, if imba-ness of those two skills that are being compared increases dramatically, this logic breaks down completely.

Let us assume x = infinity.

4(infinity) = infinity.

Thus neither left skill (4x) or right skill (x) is most imbalanced as both of them are skills that would devastate even Flash when brought to SC 1.

Nah. Just j/k. I voted warp gates.

If it was exactly 150 minerals saved that means zergling rushes that have 6 more zerglings. Besides the fact that 12 zerglings early game will defeat other army, it also makes Zerg at a higher advantage. Beforehand, as time progressed the only way to maintain unit production would be to make another hatchery. Having queens which have creep tumor as well (which helps mid-to-late game) makes Zerg army 600 minerals bigger than the enemies. That's two control groups of zerglings that could be either coming in for a surround or just going straight for the enemy base while the normal armies clash.
Cold wind, chilling.

Queen in SC1 would be jsut as ridiculously imba as in SC2 I guess. ^^'

*Edit: but warpgates are a close second!

If it goes to mid-late game, MULE seems (dunno, haven't played beta) to be most imba. Imagine the ridiculous force of terran timing pushes off 2 bases. Even chrono-boosted arbs, queen supported hatcheries won't be able to stop monstrous terran mech pushes. Imagine a 9 fact push at a timing when you'd usually see a 6 fact push...

150 mineral difference is huge when it comes to exponential economy growth, extra drones are produced more quickly, which mine more minerals, which allows more production, etc
and since hatcheries are also the zerg's production building - that's like 40% off the cost of gateways or factories or barracks
this results in all the zerg's attack timings being so much faster - and their expansions as well, since they can save minerals on all the no longer necessary extra hatcheries in their bases.



wait a minute, wait a minute. how does the queen saving you 150 minerals(after costing you 150 minerals) equal to anything better than the MULE which gives you 270 FREE minerals?!
