If this is a siege unit ZvZ will become a TvT like !


Not with Mutas flying around sniping these units (i.e. ZvT) and destroying drone lines.

Reaver pretty much shot banelings lol. As long as attack is slow and avoidable it's cool.



ya except a reavers banelings did 100 damage (120 with upgrade i think). banelings dont even do half that. so its all cool =)

I think it's a siege unit. Maybe doesn't burrow, but has to put in "siege mode" which would immobilize it. Morphed from hydralisk it seems.

It looks like something that can siege and shoot green goo. I'm so hoping for a lurker-esque unit.

Everyone seeing a zerg-siegetank needs their eyes checked out (and then switch to terran).

The bulge on top is obviously a shell/umbrella type protection. This is definitely going to be the zerg armadillo, a 2.5 unit morphed out of a single hydralisks. See picture, and imagine it retracting it's extremely wide legs towards the body too.

My idea:

EDit: just as a Hidraliska, 2 claws, no legs, a body with a tail, but now the tail is the weapon, so it moves even slow. The body is thin till the modification (evolution) kicks in, the claws should be simetrical though >.>

I remember a thread a while back that purported to have a screenshot of what looked like a zerg unit with a destroyed bunker on it, perhaps this is that unit??

either way, I just hope it has cool micro or spells involved, sc2 really needs that at this point.
also i think you should be able to combine like 5 archons to make a really really shitty oliver stone film - Keanu_Reaver, bw balance genius

Just something I noticed about the legs. The head is there because it's pretty clear where it's from. Either way, it looks awesome (as it should).

As it has been said its prob a Siege unit, nothing much to say about this.

What surprises me is how lame some jokes thrown around here are XD

Whatever it is, I really hope it doesn't have siege range. A ground unit with siege range just isn't zergy in my opinion. (The Lurker only had 6. People call it a siege unit but it's more like a very positional melee unit. To attack with lurkers you had to move up pretty close and burrow, giving the defending player a chance to run away or focus fire them down.)



explain why u think that? a sige range unit for zerg can be "zergy" easily depending on design. have u ever seen the movie starship troopers? i often compare zerg to "the bugs" in that movie. in that movie they had some kind of tank like beatle that could launch acidic blobs at extremly long ranges.

if they make the siege unit for zerg a organic slow walking mobile unit then i can easily see it working.


I'm talking more about design than theme. This is less true in SC2, but Zerg in BW was about fast, in your face units that would overwhelm the opponent and push him back. That Zerg had no ground siege unit was an asymmetry that made for interesting gameplay.


Well considering we have no clue on the range or movement speed of this unit so far you are assuming that it is slow and does a ton of damage. Maybe it is fast, can take enough damage to get underground and siege a small area ~5 range. Until then we can only deduce what it looks like and not what it is capable of.


A unit with 5 range is not a siege unit.

Well lets play semantics... then. What do you want to call something immobile that can't move while firing? Either way you still have no idea of the range or the damage or weather it is aoe or not...


I'm not sure you're on my case. I originally said that I hope it doesn't have siege range, meaning a long range (9+) like Colossi with TL or Siege Tanks in siege mode. I don't consider the Lurker a siege unit, but now that I think about it in one sense of the word it is. I'll try to clearer with my language in the future. But had you read what I originally said it would've been clear that I have no issue with positional units that attack in an immobile form, since I like the Lurker and think it is indeed very zergy.
