Fourth race: Plants

I know, but reading that post made me think of flypaper... and then the insane part of my brain decided to type that.

Here's an idea: They could have a giant flower-like plant, and when an air unit passes overhead, a big sticky tentacle/tongue thing shoots out, grabs the air unit, and holds it in place, making it immobile. It then falls to the ground, becoming easy prey for the ground-to-ground defenses or defending units...

 

Lol i like you.

 

Just Send it to Blizzard. :/

You gain nothing by posting here.

 

get masterm to do some art, ive got an idea but my drawring is no where as good as his art is.

tbh im not feeling the names, should try and keep them as short as possible, two or three sylables at the max.

 

and this topic gains nothing by you quoting a huge pile of text. Stop it!

 

this topic actually gains a lot. remy will increase his popularity ratings and guess what another owerup:
from me.

its hard to imagine the plant races tho, all i can think about is walking trees (trent protectors in warcraft or ents in lord of the rings.)

 

I didn't say that remy does something bad by posting a big post, I say it sucks if you quote it ALL.

 

But It gain Common sense.

 

wtf are you talking about? I really don't have the slightest clue of what you're trying to say.

 

If zerglings can survive in space there must be some sort of extra terestial plant life able to survive space.

 

If the organism can survive in space, aka without the presence of oxygen and carbon dioxide then it wouldn't be classified as plants. Though it could be something that "look like plants".

 

That's the definition of how plants work on our world, but we haven't really encountered E.T. plants already have we?

 

I thought it was classified as a plant if it was auto-trophic and photosynthetic. so because plants need CO2 and O2 to undergo photosynthesis, it wouldn't work. However, i might have found a glitch in that, although not a sound one.

What if the space stations had its own gravity, its own plant life, and its own oxygen. Thats great, but you'd have to get the plants to travel interplanetary. If a seedling were hurled into space at escape velocity, maybe in classic sci-fi fashion in an astroid, it would have all it needed to surviv until it reached its target. This would have wiped the toss of Auir much faster than the zerg, because the zerg have to land units. If one of those asteroids landed in a rain forest, there could be a massive plant invasion in a week.

 

the very nature of space says that anything is possible,
just becuase a "plant" on earth needs these things to survive, it dosnt mean a plant from another plant needs these things, we are just humans, and were not better than anything else, jsut different, and you cant apply these human attributes to creatures in space.

 

these plants could have some specialized molecular components that enables them to adapt at any environment with sunlight which serves as its only energy source to function. what makes me think is the way how they organize their chain of command, I mean should there be a plant version of the overmind commanding their armies or should they have an individual though

 

The point is, if that particular race does not function or behave like plants on earth, we (or at least scientists) wouldn't call or classify them as plants. But anyway.....if there is a race like plants in SC2 they better watch out for the firebats!!!

 

i dont see how a plant race would work, considering plants dont move unless its WC3 or Lord of the Rings lol.

 

Firebats would make the game a little one sided, and i doubt that a hydra would do anything at all. Little spikes would penetrate the plant, but it wouldn't it kill it.

 

i think a plant race is best left for Warcraft and the Night Elves. i believe the current 3 races are good and unique from each other

 

I say stick with the same that we all know and love heh anyway maybe a Robot race might work
