Can someone give me an update on the Zealots?

I heard there were changes way back when, but I don't know how the Zealot moves right now.

In the original gameplay trailer, the Zealot was slow, but had the "Charge" ability to close the gap between the opposition and itself. I later heard talk about Leg Enhancements and that it was considered by Blizzard.

Can someone give me an update on the current Zealot Movement situation? I would like to know:
• Does the Zealot still have the "Charge" ability?
• Is the "Leg Enhancement" upgrade currently a Zealot upgrade? If not, was it ever?

Thank you!

 

Zealots still have the charge, but no one's sure about Leg Enhancements.

 

It doesn't have the Leg Enhancements. Charge replaces that. It means that they're more effective at closing the gap than they were with Leg Enhancements, but they're less effective at crossing large distances.

 

Wait I though that you get leg enhancements and charge both with the research

 

It should be noted that the Zealots base speed was increased a little bit from the original to make up for the loss of leg enhancements.

 

yes, the normal speed of the zealot was increased since sc1...which makes up for the leg enchantment.
atm they only have the charge to upgrade.

 

Is there any offcial conformation that you cannot research Leg Enhancments?

 

I think screenshots of the Twilight Council show only Blink, Charge and Hardened Shields.

 

i asked Jon about that, and he said that Charge and Leg Inhancement are in the same upgrade.

 

I'm closing this thread:
I believe the questions posed by this thread have been answered to the greatest level of detail available. Of course, things like updates, abilities, and the existence of a unit at all are all subject to change. I doubt the Zealot's going to see much change.
