    Re: Naga=Hydralisk

    Yes they do look very similar. But snake-like isn't exactly uncommon.

    Zealots are similar to Predator.

    Both are a warrior race. Both fight with wrist blades. Both are ancient. Both have dreads. Both has cool armor.

    Same can be said for many more Starcraft units.

    Re: Naga=Hydralisk

    And, seriously, how do you expect the tails to move? In circles? Or maybe in a circle eight fashion? =D

    And It's hard to get very original in terms of aesthetic means and stuff like that. However, the concepts, uses, and everytrhing else is what makes each unit special compared to other games' units

    The new Marines look a bit like human troops from Warhammer 40k...

    Re: Naga=Hydralisk

    Hydralisk first appear in sc,then because the model is perfect so Blizzard bring them to Wc3 and created the naga.With wc3 engine they can do the thing they cant in sc:a snake-like movement,or just because they thinks snake-like move is better.
    And now in sc2,hydra come back so why doesnt it has that kind of movement ?Nothing wrong with it (except those spike on the tail)

    errrrmmm...the hydra's tail doesn't move like that. anyway, there's no point in arguing about which game is better. i just wanted to point that out.

    Re: Naga=Hydralisk

    They look like Naga so it's reasonable that they move like them.
    BTW That's how the snake moves.

    maybe the zerg HYDRAlisks are a zerg infested naga.

    Hydra = water
    Naga from water

    There's got to be more original ways to make the Hydralisks look 'more evolved' than putting spikes all over the its body. The thing looks ridiculously over done. Its another case of making something look fierce superficially, but not really making any sense game or lorewise.
    I like the hydra as a slim, smooth snake creature, with alot of hidden muscle and projectile spines.

    Also, whats the deal with the Ghostrider skull and glowing eyes? Talk about being bait in the dark.

    Yeah! I say give the hydralisks a doctors headlamp! ...What? Oh, right. I mean maybe it shouldnt change so much from SC1 to SC2 at all. It proved to work fine in SC1, and aslong as something works nature usually don't change it.

    The Hydralisk Issue...

    Saw a topic related to the Hydralisk...so i thought, why not make it into a poll ? ;D
    I'm pretty sad with how the Lisk has turned out. Waaaay too spikey , and seriously....why is it in tier 3 ?
    The old lisk was all about early game badassery, dunno how the new one will measure up.

    Re: The Hydralisk Issue...

    Yay first voter :D. And the short term for the hydralisk is hydra but i guess lisk works. I like the new hydra look. People say it doesnt look enough like the old one but all the units have evolved so of course its gonna look different. The spikes are just more evolution going on with the hydras.

    It probably would have been better to ask that a poll be put in the original topic. And it's tier 2 btw

    Re: The Hydralisk Issue...

    How late in game the unit comes in.

    The bigger the number, the later the unit is produced.

    The new design, IMO, is much better than the original.

    The only issue I have is the attack is hard to see.
