Help Create a Zerg Unit

its just something to get off my mind( that and im bored ) the rules are simple

1. each person adds something to the unit. example: ssjfox added that the unit have the power to eat enemies units. (which he did not...[ yet ] ).

2. please no arguing till the unit is completed ( it will be completed when the unit have a price, supply, supply and other whatever else.

3. please make it reasonable for that unit.

4. you can add only one stat/ability

5. you can add one new thing per day.


so lets start, it will be a tier 2 unit.

 

It would have a ranged attack of 10 damage, no splash damage.

 

it would be a relatively fast unit

 

It has the ablity to eat other units

(You know you wanted it, I mean you pratically asked for me to say it, and I feel special I'm starting to get popular enough for people to use me as an example :good: o and btw I do think this will work for the unit)

 

It has the option to mutate into something horrid.

 

It costs four supply.

 

the "horrid" thing it mutates into can fly and has the ability to drop banelings on enemy units =P

 

hehe this is awesome (y)

the consumption of units...... it may only consume an enemy whose hp are less than its own original i suppose?  what is the hp for a High Templar?  100-200?  

anyway, if this unit was  flying, and could therefore be used as a kind of used as an anti-templar unit....

fly it over the protoss player and then, with its relatively high hp, if the protoss player does not directly macro an attack upon it, this flying zerg unit would then be very efficient at dealing with HT psi-storm attacks...

I mean, the unit does 10 ranged damage right... weak ass, but it move quickly... and therefore, if used with a nice squad of Ovies... a zerg player could expend 4-6 of them, and destroy Strong anti-zerg ground units like the High Templar, Dark Templar, but being not very affective in a direct fire fight.

so i guess if its flying, and consumes expensive units like Ghosts, HTs, DTs, Defs, Medics, ECT, it could shred pretty good?

i dunno... lol

 

It's supposed to be tier 2. 10 damage is about right for tier 2 for zerg. Most the others abilities ppl are giving would be tier 2 to 3.

 

right right... but its more of just a torpedo.... designed to hold of a HT attack... it adds a little micro...being able to consume..

 

added rule five, and here is the summary of what we got so far, a tier two unit, with a range attack of 10, has a fast movement speed, can eat other units, able to mutate into a flying unit that can drop banelings onto the enemies.

 

while standing still it is cloaked, and has the ability to turn on action-cloak that consumes energy at the same speed as a ghost's cloak does.

 

What if it can consume infantry units with hit-points below 45, with a cooldown of 3 seconds, but can't damage that fast regularly? This way, weaker HP units would die faster, making this unit good for countering masses of infantry/lings, but not as a good damage dealer. It is like Immortal feature reversed: the enemies get less damage when the HP is high, but once it gets low, they die instantly.

And of course, no air/mechanical targets can be consumed. Only organic ones.


I even have a name for it: Larvae eater! Because it can kill larvae and eggs in one blow, even tho it doesn't fare well in combat.

 

why not make it a fire breathing unit? never seen zergs do that

 

Because it would be a Firebat!

 

please no arguing, back to the unit, it should cost 100 mins and 50 gas.

what we got so far, a tier two unit, with a range attack of 10, it cost 4 supplies, has a fast movement speed, can eat other units, cost 100 mins and 50 gas, attack animation is fire?, able to mutate, which cost 75 mins and 75 gas, into a flying unit that can drop banelings onto the enemies.

remember we can argue about all this a little later, in fact,all thats left now is how much energy/ how long will the ability eatmereturn put in.

edit: i forgoten eatmereturns ability. :-[, and added eonmasters cost for the mutation, since it was here when i got back..
* slaps oneself on the head. *

 

mutation cost: 75 min, 75 gas

 

the flames remain on the map for a short period, doing damage over time.

Also, banelings are created within the mutated flying form (as the reaver)

Anyone have any name ideas?

 

argolisk(From jason and the argonauts(a ship filled with heros)) i picked the name because it is a "warmachine" filled with banelings who are willing to sacrifice themselves for their country, shortly hero's

 

has its own speed upgrades?
