I just hope that whatever it is that it benefits from the ranged attack upgrades. I'd be super happy if it were a hive-tech unit on top of that-- I dislike that the two hive-tech units zerg has both benefit from melee upgrades :<
Switching to hive tech feels like a step backwards when the upgrades don't align, and infested terrans aren't as useful as a fungal when there are broodlords or ultras out.

I see a lot of people calling for a Lurker. I didn't play much SC1, but as far as I could tell a Lurker was just a unit that burrowed and lifted spikes up from the ground, right? Can someone tell me why these units get so much hype? It seems like they would be cannon fodder once Terran scans and Protoss just needs an obs with it's army.

Could someone please explain why a Lurker seems to be a particularly desirable unit? It seemed bad to me in my eeexxtremely limited SC1 experience.


Brings the concept of map control and positioning to the forefront again. They are also awesome against unmicro'd 1-a clumps of units, which we see too much of in SC2.

You mean like burrowed banelings?

Looking at the shape of it, Im thinking it will be able to roll up in a ball and move quickly with the zerg army like a baneling with speed upgrade. Then when it "deploys" into battle mode its a slow moving siege unit.

Pretty much a giant baneling in the form of a cross between these rolling battle droids from the new star wars

and these things from starship troopers

exactly what i was saying but i dont think i will work that way
it looks to me that this unit will be one of the bigger zerg units and seeing such a big thing rolling around
hmm well would look kinda strange to me



This is it id say.


And whatever it is, it needs a buff.

Well I put the picture in my Gimp and just gave it a shot. The idea is a Siegetank like unit, that can burrow. Morphed from a lurker. This is soley painted via mouse, so sorry that it looks terribad.

This is easy. Blizzard removes the roach. It is a boring unit, but a tank in the sense that it soaks up a lot of damage. This is its replacement. What is this unit you ask? It is also morphed from the Zergling, and is the new "tank" for Zerg.

I don't feel like drawing it, so I looked for a comparison. Ironically, the one I found has a rock, and we all know how much Blizzard loves rocks.

[image loading]

Just imagine a Zergling, with its front legs having some quasi armor leggings and that it curls up under this hardened back that it has. It has 3 armor and 100 health, but it's damage output is bad. Bonus damage vs armored units could work though.

Its clearly a giant enemy crab, and you need to attack its weak point for massive damage.

I'm thinking that instead of hydras, it could actually morph from queens.

Queen: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090506211015/starcraft/images/a/a5/Queen_SC2_DevRend2.jpg

Although Zerg units of course share some art similarities (especially hydras and queens), I really like the idea of being able to morph queens into defensive siege units. I also think that a unit like this is probably not meant to be massable in the way hydras and other units can be massed, so morphing from queens may allow the individual siege units to be more powerful from a balance perspective.

Didn't blizzard say zerg was getting a new artillery/siege unit? That's what I'm voting for, then!

That seems pretty plausible, but doesn't quite solve the problem of what its role or mechanics will be.

Nice job. I think you're probably on the money with this sort of interpretation.
