    ok so what we got is a tier two unit, cost 100 mins and 50 gas, cost 4 supplies, has a fast movement speed, has a upgrade to increase movement speed ( i beleive what eclipse is trying to say is that the unit starts with a slow-medium movement speed untill you upgrade its speed ), when still is cloaked and when moving drains energy, can eat other units, a range attack of 10, attack animation is fire, the flames burns the ground for a short amount of time, name is argolisk, able to mutate, which cost 75 mins and 75 gas, into a flying unit that can drop banelings, which are build inside the unit, onto the enemies.

    lets discuss :gossip: and argue about this unit :argue:, you can also still add thing to the unit tho.

    ill start, i hate making up name so im ok with argolisk, but if another name comes up and it doesnt have the lisk at the end ill most likely go with that one instead.

    i like the costs for the unit and the mutation, just might need to be change a little.

    i think the supply cost is a little too high, i think it should start with 2 or 3 and then gains 1 or 2 when it mutates, in fact, i think im ok with the unit mutating into a flying creature that has to create baneling to attack it would be an intresting seige unit.

    it might need the speed upgrade to balance it all out if not im ok with that too.

    i dislike the cloaking tho, too much like the ghost, but if it can burrow and move, costing energy along the way it might be ok.

    i think eating other units might work out as well, have it slowly drain the enemies units health as well as have it regenerate the eating units health, but to make it balance, the unit can only eat small units.

    i dont know what to think about the fire attack with the range of 10 causing the ground to brun for a little while. ???

    some of the things im not sure about, if this unit was put into the game i would need to see how it would work out with the game.

    We still don't know what it should look like. I suggest it should look like a butterfly in flying form...
    Haha, (laughing at my own bad joke omg :drunk:) but it would be horrible mutated with strange sap sacks all over the place where the Baneling like things live in until they are thrown out.

    Any ideas for the ground form? Maybe something like a caterpillar... ;)

    In air form it would shoot Banelings from its mouth or whatever, and it would have an ability (with upgrade?) to drop all Banelings at the same time, making it a good candidate for attacking the enemy's economy. When shooting the Banelings with it's normal attack, they would explode on contact, just like scarabs, just flying, but when using the drop ability, it would just drop 4-6 Banelings from it's stomach or something, and you know the rest.

    Banelings built from the "Argolisk" would cost marginally more, since they can be deployed much more conveniently, and to prevent players from building a lot of "Argolisks" to mass banelings. Also, Overlords shouldn't be able to carry banelings, 'cause the fluids they use to explode are too unstable for them to be transported normally. This would also make the "Argolisk" more useful, because Baneling drops wouldn't be possible with Overlords.

    For me I think it should be spider like. And use like 6 or 8 thin legs to get it around really fast.

    No they shouldn't, Scorpions are an Earth creature and Zergs haven't infested any Earth type creature except for Human. Plus it makes them less unique. Relate any Zerg unit to an animal you've ever seen... you can't cuz they are alien.

    It's an accent typically associated with being uneducated.

    this almost looks like it would fit perfectly with the zerg. Just a few graphics changes, and it would be perfect!

    Why? It almost looks like something the zerg would use. Almost looks like a new version of the defiler from sc1.

    Its a scorpion. Zergs cant have scorpions. They would have mutated it into something so terrible and different that it wouldnt look like a scorpion anymore

    Hmmm...that thing doesn't have enough legs.

    It's ok but it needs to be more alien. Scorpions are too recognizable. Grow some imagination people!

    BTW, a redneck accent is associated with people from certain rural parts of America, particularily around the Appalatian mountain range. It sounds very similar to a southern American accent (if you're familiar with that at all) only stronger, with a lot of slurring and heavy dipthongs. "Redneck" is a derrogatory term for poor uneducated country dwellers.
