Infestors cost 100/150 which means more gas than minerals.  but yeah this is pretty much an I want updated brood war thread. | ||

Lurker reworked to be T2 (it was T3 I think before the beta). A caster (T3) with plague. | ||

I don't know why I'm responding to you, because I really shouldn't be given your posting history on TvZ, and you're probably the only person left still arguing ZvT imbalanced. Lurkers aren't just about anti-infantry. They're about defending positions with few units so that you can do other stuff such as harass and drop and nydus without losing the game to a counter-attack. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=133023 I am not a Zerg player, I am just going to say that. What I will say though is banelings can be a lot more useful then you think. I don't know if this is a practical use for them, however what you could do with them is burrow them near your defenses (or in there chokes) and set them to auto unburrow. This way they work the same as mines, and still do lots of damage. Again I doubt its a huge practical use but you never know. Also, with the Nydus, instead of loading your whole force up put like 1/4 of your army inside and try to get in the enemies base, when your opponent realizes that hes about to get screwed over because of the nydus worms, he'll run almost his whole army to defend it, then you can run the other 3/4's of your army into his natural and kill it and retreat before he realizes what hit him. There are two strategic ideas, however I do not know whether or not they are practical since I don't play Zerg. | ||

I've never been low on mineral and high on gas before =S Unless early game where I grabbed 4 gas and completely got my tech destroyed =\ You should look at the ratio of min/gas cost of units and compare it to ratio of min/gas gather rate, and not just look and say, "oh most of Z's stuff costs more minerals, therefore, gas sink is needed". | ||

Corruptors? They seem like, would logically be, look like, melee units. They have a big beak that would make sense for ripping and chewing apart metal and crap. They have tentacles, the perfect thing to hold down the enemy whilst attacking them. They're like the sentinels from Matrix, or like squids. But instead, the tentacles just....dangle? A Zerg melee air unit, is creative, new and exciting. As well as very dynamic, considering how the air front has never had melee before, though Scourge were similar. This would be the perfect evolution to Scourge, something that is so much stronger that it becomes THE AA for heavy units, like Battleships. The Corruptors look beastly and Blizzard made the perfect model for this scenario...But gave them a cool ranged attack. Blah. SCII is awesome anyways. | ||

I really like the idea of an air melee unit, but I can't see it working well. | ||

Id rather discuss the concept of these units and how it would impact the game for better or worse.
