Really awesome and original idea :D Great thread man! I agree I think the lower depot mechanic to stop burrowed vs raising to stop things above would be a sick mechanic ... Although that would mean burrowed units could pretty much roll in under the barracks ... lol

There is a need to have a burrowed-only mod for all three races while the players play above we watch from underneath.

Did it never occur to anybody that Blizzard most likely didn't design the game this way for consistency, but simply for the convenience of it?

The units are already rendered as they're trained/built, having the engine remove one half of the unit when it's under ground would just be a silly way of wasting computing capacity whereas stuffing it away below the ground for a while (hence making it invisible) requires nothing but a simple shift of its coordinates in space. Or, as in the case with the hatchery-into-hive, have the spikes tucked away and ready until they're to be shown.

Sorry to spoil your fun but this most likely IS the result of slacking among programmers (not graphic designers though as burrowed units obviously have the same textures as unburrowed units only difference is the way they're arranged at a specific moment)
whatever man

Wow, this is a great thread. So interesting and never really thought about it much.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

It's the side of the spinning forge wheel that you can't see at the moment (and its accompanying particle effect, probably).

That thing you call the rooting graphic for the creep tumor totally resembles the legs of an overlord.

Burrowed Movement

Sadly, burrowed movement has no special graphics other than rubbles. I was expecting some digging with claws. No way can floating bodies like these move inside soil. I hope ultralisk’s burrowed charge in HOTS introduce decent animation underground.

According to the campaign, Zerg units vibrate rapidly with almost every muscle in their body in order to break apart the soil, so there's nothing wrong here.
