It is similar in some ways to irradiate but with its own twist. EDIT: Its like irradiate meets corpse explosion (my favorite D2 skill) | ||

As for the new zerg, it's just the old zerg with pixel shaders. For the better, I wonder how much horsepower do we need for our zerg to look just as good. | ||

The Terran mule sounds cool though (obviously them trying to add some macro). | ||

Pretty much, and with fungal scourge they might even be the new worker line raiders :p Perhaps this was blizzard's plan all along, they gave Protoss so much new fancy, interesting stuff that they just moved the best thing from protoss BW (the reaver) over to the zerg. Reaver drops are just too exciting to leave out of the sequel. All that's left is a sweet, interesting mechanic for Terrans and we're all set =). | ||

So my idea was tog ive the queen the ability to sit down and evolve into a hatch or make it the other way around, giving bases the ability to evolve to queens. Everything is better than a wc3 hero for Zerg. =) | ||

You can even target them offensively to act as scouts. You can call them anywhere on your LoS. Karune just said this on the bnet forum:ahn,i would like to know how these mechanics allow you to macro with screen changes, i mean, u can still summon the big scvs remotely by hotkeying the cc's and calling them it seems confuse rly http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=15211803043&sid=3000 Both others requires targeting as well. The queen need to target a hatcherie and the dark pylon needs to target the probes. So effectively all 3 mechanics require you to go back to your base with the screen to boost your economy. I criticize Blizzard a lot when they do shit such as the gas mechanic. But we also have to recognize when they do something right. This time with these new macro abilities I think they hit it right on spot. Now it's just a matter of balancing around the numbers through testing. | ||

1. Dark Pylons for Protoss 2. Mules for Terrans 3. Mutant larva for Zerg One thing I notice is that the mechanics for Toss and Terran both allow the player to mine faster while the zerg mechanic only allows the player to spend minerals faster. That is really good for me, as a mediocre player who struggles to even spend all my minerals, but I wonder what effect this will have on pros for whom spending their minerals is not their limiting factor. I am not trying to say mutant larva is bad...I love it like heck, but I wonder if it will help casual players more than competitive players? | ||
