That's completly dependend on what/how you research.
Like, the idea behind keeping that many zerglings could be that you actually are willing to kill a lot of them in the research process. E.g: If there is a 1:100 chance that a certain mutation will occur, you need a large group of them.

And we actually do keep a lot of superviruses for research. A lot in numbers, not in weight of course, because for statistical experiments (so basically all bio experiments) the amount counts - independend of the species. And 100g of supervirus is a fuckton of statistical evidence. 100g of zerglings is nothing. You need hundreds of zerglings to test certain things.

Even more, there is actually no real harm coming from them. Until someone - like Kerrigan - takes control of them, they are feral, so basically not really working together. Like, what Kerrigan did there was already the worst case scenario which is nothing compared to worst case scenarios when doing research on biological, chemical or nuclear weapons.

or if your facility comes under attack and they break free and go on a killing spree

they may be feral but there still going to kill everything tehy can get there claws on


Exactly. It's pretty safe to assume that they'd just kill themselves.

They just kill each other for essence on Zerus... What would probably happen is that they would fight each other until one of them came out as the alpha, but meanwhile the terrans could just shoot them. I honestly don't see any issue here.

Primal Zerg attack Primal Zerg, Feral Zerg are not Primal Zerg the Zerg we are used to seeing are not Primal Zerg they are mindless beats that attack anything that isnt Feral Zerg

have you ever ever seen Feral Zerg attack each other? any Zerg on Zerg action at all on Umoja? no you didnt because Feral Zerg DO NOT ATTACK FERAL ZERG

yeah, but again... it's a worst case scenario. Like, what do you do in a nuclear power plant when you are under attack?
Of course such research is a risk, but if you don't want to die to the next bulletproof raptor strain, you gotta find out how to calibrate your gasdefenses and Psi-Emitters.

Consistent with WoL: Mediocre, full of flaws, chilldish.

As a game the campaign missions imo were more entertaining than those in WoL. Still could be better.

I enjoyed the campaign.
As in playing it, I do not play video games for the story mostly so it´s okay that it is not very good.
Made you feel powerful and kind of badass though, I liked that

Kind of feels like a trade off most of the time. Planescape Torment is not super good when it comes to gameplay.

they didnt attack each other on Char since Zagara stepped in

Feral Zerg have never been shown fighting each other, if that was true then there wouldnt ahve been any of Nafashs brood left since they would have eaten each other

Feral Zerg can reconize Feral zerg and leave each other alone

What is your source for this? The Forikorder book of Zerg behavior?

From the Starcraft Wiki: Zerg

"These zerg are referred to as feral zerg and can generally only operate at the lowest level. The amount of control exerted over a zerg force also impacts on their intelligence. Without this control, the zerg will become little more than animals, attacking everything on sight, at times, even their own kind."

This is also demonstrated in the gameplay, for example, in the Vile Disruption mission from BW.

Based on the SC1 mission after Zaz dies (and few others, like the BW mission on the outskirts of the psi disrupter), I assumed that "feral" zerg organize around their home hive cluster like a small community, meaning they wouldn't fight each other but they sure could fight zergs from neighboring hive clusters. I also think it's fair to say feral zerg assume a "pack mentality" when isolated from their cerebrates/queens/hive cluster, like many animals are capable of.

Edit: you could probably justify it as a "natural/organic" loyalty of the overlords to their home hive cluster

Isn't there is a dialog between Kerrigan and Izsha about it? I think it was on Char, I did it third after Kaldir and Zerus. Kerrigan asks why there aren't more Zerg on Char, and Izsha answers something like "many of your minions turned feral and killed each other". Obviously it doesn't mean they attack every other Zerg (or the Garm Brood would have torn itself apart), but that would be a case of feral Zerg attacking others.

So I'd go with the guy above me, maybe they split into smaller groups when uncontrolled. They won't attack Zerg of their own group, but would kill those of an other.

The plot holes on plot holes, within plot holes between WoL and HoTS were gross, However I personally enjoyed both of the campaigns very much despite being a mainly ladder guy, I'm a sucker for cheesey bad story telling and writing, I just like it, call me crazy but I do.

That doesn't mean however that I can't see the horrendous flaws in SC2's story and I can't tell good writing and delivery because I can, I just enjoy cheese and cliche.

I do however enjoy great storytelling/writing/acting way more than this cheeseball stuff so I was very dissapointed having my favourite series of games ever turn into an abomination of storytelling. Had I not cared for the franchise of SC I would have liked the Wol and HoTS campaigns much more, but it being my favourite games I was hoping for writing more on par withsomething like The Walking Dead, or Breaking Bad.

But I didn't get my wish, it is what it is, very enjoyable, great gameplay (HoTS' campaign gameplay was amazing and blew WoL out of the water) cheesy story with cliche badguys and predictible plot, but very much like a team of 12 year olds wrote it, so many plot holes, so much unoriginality so much immaturity in the story line.

But hey, I liked it but just wish I liked it for different reasons, it being myfavourite game and all

It's ok me to!

The actual missions were fun to play but the storyline was embarassing. And when I got to the final level I was like "It's f-ing over?". We spent the whole campaign going after Mengsk instead of doing something important. After the end Kerrigan goes to fight in the epic void for crazy battles! That's the place where I want campaign missions to take place in!

they may be feral but there still going to kill everything tehy can get there claws on


Exactly. It's pretty safe to assume that they'd just kill themselves.

feral Zerg dont attack Feral Zerg

They just kill each other for essence on Zerus... What would probably happen is that they would fight each other until one of them came out as the alpha, but meanwhile the terrans could just shoot them. I honestly don't see any issue here.

FERAL ZERG DO NOT ATTACK FERAL ZERG

Primal Zerg attack Primal Zerg, Feral Zerg are not Primal Zerg the Zerg we are used to seeing are not Primal Zerg they are mindless beats that attack anything that isnt Feral Zerg

have you ever ever seen Feral Zerg attack each other? any Zerg on Zerg action at all on Umoja? no you didnt because Feral Zerg DO NOT ATTACK FERAL ZERG


Mission 7, Episode 2, Starcraft 1.

Mission 1, Episode 6, Starcraft Brood War,


Conversation with Abathur in HotS (in one of the dialogs he explains how he roamed the tunnels on Char after the Overlord died and how he attacked other zergs).

It's the same reason we keep super-viruses. How else would you do science on zerg?

small batchs?

we dont keep 50 tons of super virus, they dont need an entire brood to do research


That's completly dependend on what/how you research.
Like, the idea behind keeping that many zerglings could be that you actually are willing to kill a lot of them in the research process. E.g: If there is a 1:100 chance that a certain mutation will occur, you need a large group of them.

And we actually do keep a lot of superviruses for research. A lot in numbers, not in weight of course, because for statistical experiments (so basically all bio experiments) the amount counts - independend of the species. And 100g of supervirus is a fuckton of statistical evidence. 100g of zerglings is nothing. You need hundreds of zerglings to test certain things.

Even more, there is actually no real harm coming from them. Until someone - like Kerrigan - takes control of them, they are feral, so basically not really working together. Like, what Kerrigan did there was already the worst case scenario which is nothing compared to worst case scenarios when doing research on biological, chemical or nuclear weapons.

Mission 1, Episode 6, Starcraft Brood War,


know what would make this SO much easier? if you actually named the mission instead of saying what mission it was its so hard to actually figure out what mission your actually trying to refrence

mission 7 episode 2 must be when Zasz dies, Zasz brood does not attack Zasz's brood it attacks other non-feral broods

mission 1 episode 6 must be... first mission of Zerg i guess? would make much more sense to say mission one episode 3 starcraft BW since BW does not have 6 episodes but Starcraft one does have 6 episodes

again thats Feral Zerg attacking non-Feral Zerg (Kerrigans Brood)

might be a bit much to say Feral zerg never under any circumstance attack Feral Zerg but once Feral they stay within there broods and still work together as a functional brood

Wrong. Feral Zerg were attacking other Zerg in the mission even before you take control of them.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.
