    what if the zerg dont get a cliff climbing units but something worse...
    i cliff / bridge making unit....

    a unit that can physicaly change the shape of the map by creating walk offs for cliffs and short ranged bridges...

    It's too late for them to suddenly introduce such a game changing, totally new unit i2new.

    I understand the critique that it doesn't appear to have to team color, but those worm things just look too menacing to be part of the terrain. Unless they're just aggressive critters (a la WC3). My money's on some crazy zerg unit, tho.

    its eaither a critter, which i personaly think its would just be to big. or a doodad. i dont think its a unit. It doesnt have any team color unless that skinish looking color IS the team color. but i dont think blizzard would do something like that. who knows. maybe it is a game changing unit like i suggested? it wouldnt be a bad idea tho.

    @Chargeshot. Just look at it next to the Hydras and Zerglings. It doesn't even have the brown base color. It looks dry as a fossil. It has no remarkable features, such as a friggin face.
    Also, there's a shaft/valley under it, so even if it was a climber, it couldn't possibly have climbed that wall seeing as there's no ground at the base of it to start with...
     
  8. Who cares about unit pages? The information WILL change and the lore is .. well .. lacking for the most part. I see no reason why they should be added or updated until the game is closer to release.

    i like the new thors look, better to see a row of missle silos on its back then 2 silly looking cannons
    i guess it wouldnt be bad to have a thor or 2 sitting at base and 1 or 2 on the move since there not THAT slow a mover and they can self repair after death.

    as for that worm thing?
    theres no crep just messed up looking ground.
    it has no team color.
    IDK, it seems like it dosent even match the picture color blend....
    it just looks odd...

    Maybe it's a critter? Starcraft 1 critters didn't always have much color to them either (e.g. rhynadon, that wierd three legged thing on volcano worlds, the bengalaas). As for the pic with the MS and BC, I do believe I see some alteration in the BC model beyond the green distortion. Could we be getting D-Matrix swapped in for Missile Barrage? Or better yet, is there a Nighthawk sitting somewhere offscreen? I hope either one is true. :)

    my question, WHY in the H*LL wuold blizzard make a critter look that large and scary?
    if i were 1 of tthe protoss (before the zerg showed up) i would of shot those things to death... and removed the corpse. This is why the question why are they there? critters in the middle of a screen covering zerg invasion??
    thats so off set its not even funny. Logic is just not matchin up for the picture. IDK
    i'm starting to think its either doodad or a new zerg unit, but i'm more for the doodad at this point.

    probably the nydus worm, but does anybody else think they should try to make more of a distinction between the doodads and units.. lol

    prolly should make it look less. Fresh.

    i mean bones wouldnt look like that.

    Lol when the bones start moving and forming a ladder for Hydralisks below.

    Such a waste for a great unit that could have been.

    At first i thought that the green sphere around the BC was a MS ability to stun stuff, but now it looks more like a def matrix.

    The bones, it looks like a doodad instead of a unit or creature.


    HEY Maeby each race has its own little "independant" transport system that you can make via map editor(terran = subway thingy (infantry only), protoss get like a little warp gate and the zerg get them bone thingys so they can climb the cliffs) :O
