You make swarms of babies. Think of it as a dark swarm, but instead of ranged attacks missing, everything inside the cloud gets damaged.

Whoa, Z gets their own psi-storm? Sounds like revenge for getting stormed all these years.
edit: and on a flying caster, too!


Queen isn't the old flying caster. The Queen is now a ground base defender.
And I must say that I don't like how this Queen is turning more and more into a hero unit. We want it to be able to assist your units, not be exactly like the Crypt Lord in Warcraft3...
I think the Queen should be part of some specific strategies you go for, not a staple unit that you'll be needing in every single game since it can do everything. It just seems to be too well rounded right now, which isn't right for Zerg since they are great at having units that do very specific tasks that don't overlap.
I think making it a macro unit is actually a pretty good idea. Let it build some defensive structures, repair them, make larva (or make mutant larva, that was a great concept), help your drones mine faster etc... That way, in many early aggressive builds she won't be required, but if you're going for a long game or a timing push you had better make her pretty quickly.

Then again that's just my opinion, and i'm sure that by adding Razor plague blizzard is going somewhere.

Zerg graphical updates were definitely needed. I'm very glad Blizzard is starting to make this game look more appealing to adults and not look like Barney meets Starcraft.

it looks like the dark pylon ability will be a targeted aoe so that you have to go back and put it on your probes, also i guess the 'd-matrix' ability will be to protect probes from colossi or ghosts or something

i'm guessing you can't rally terran mules so you would need to assign them as well as adjust your supply accordingly with the temp supply buff

they all appear to be an attempt to take the place of automine

Dont you think these changes are made to somewhat balance this? Maybe the Terrans were holding the sharper knife before the changes?

Anyways I must say sc2 looks very promising now, the macro mechanics seems pretty different from eachother.
Also, I dont thik the "get more supply" thing the CC does seems to be that of a letdown that everyone implies. Myself being a somewhat novice player in the competitive scene, I tend to miss out supply buildings or get dropped and get my pylons or whatever killed.

But now: Ding! And you will have a small or big amount of temporary supply which wont stop you from keep producing units while you mass depods etc.

I'msorrywut?

Another great way to destroy marines are the infestors. One "Fungal Scourge" can destroy a squad of marines in an instant. If your opponent does not react fast enough, most of their army will be dead. Also cleave from an ultralisks destroy marines rather quickly.

Ground Suicide units have a habit of having the worst AI possible. How do I stop my banelings from constantly prioritizing buildings first rather than units?
- Banelings now have a skill called "Explode on Buildings." Now to target buildings you have to use the skill instead of using the attack command.

I demand more information on the fungal scourge. :p And what of the baneling AI? Why a new skill when you could just have them prioritize units?

Love the look of the spore colonies and the infestor art. However I think the new drone looks too evil, not like a mindless drone, and with boxing gloves on :3

Edit: Uhm, wait wait, why am I seeing a nydus canal-esque building in that zerg base? Why would Blizzard get rid of the badass Tremors worm? And is that Thor in the bottom left corner really a Thor, is it looking funny because of perspective, or did they actually cut it's entire bottom half off?
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

If Fungal Scourge is Fungal Infestation from the Blizzcon demo, then it paralyzes a unit and does damage until it dies, and when it dies, it releases an explosion that damages all units nearby it.

If you target a Marine surrounded in a clump of Marines with Fungal Infestation, when it explodes it'll take all the other Marines out in a pretty decent radius around it.
