Ultimate Units?

the zerg should be able to create mobile unit production units (lol):

ultralisk that can spawn zerglings on the fly or a giant air unit that can spawn support for example
this way zerg just pump out crazy numbers that are versitile instead of one ultimate creature
that would keep with zerg style

terran is tough:

it would be cool to have a giant rail gun. like a huge flying reaver. you would need to buy shells long cooldown but crazy damage. two would eat bases but would get crushed without support. one mode of fire big cool down big damage. the protoss ms is great but it seems like a rare purchase due to the cost of all protoss units. Rail guns or unit units would be used more

 

Terrans dont need a super unit, they have got nukes tbh, they are just as easy to get.

 

Nuclear Launches and an Ion Cannon.

...

 

I think a Mech that has a variety of weapons in its arsenal would be the perfect "super unit" for terrans. It shows their versatility in combat which is their main strength. If you wanted to make it "super" it would need to have Anti-air missles, Flame thrower, and a gatling gun that fires non stop and switches to another unit if the one targeted dies (much like the thermal laser does for the colossus). It would use the gatling gun at long range but switch to a flame thrower at close range, tearing through melee units. I think mech style armored vehicles are perfect for humans because it caters to our ego. It is like actually becoming a huge war machine, with the vehicle being an extension of yourself. Makes sense to me

 

i think protoss is the only one fit for an ultimate unit like the mothership. i was thinking of another ultimate unit for protoss, matriarch or patriarch.

 

so pretty much a DT that does 100 damage.

 

yeah. pretty much. slightly bigger than standard DT

 

Didn't we already have that? And wasn't his name Zeratul?

 

no, he was a prelate. Razshagal was a matriarch

 

Be that as it may, my quote referred to the "DT that does 100 damage." Which is Zeratul exactly

 

Wasn't Zeratul running around with 80 damage?

 

no it was 100.

i dont even know how much razshagal does, i think its the standard 45 since she is never used.

 

rashagal should have superior psionic abilities, therefore limited physical abilities i guess.

 

inb the editor there was a dark templar hero class unit but it was not Zeratul, I think it was some kind of a unit that was supose to be Rashagal but since she only apears in scripted situations the portrait of the DT hero was a standard DT one, not Rashagals face

 

Raszagal is dead...

Ulrejaz or something like that? hes from Enslavers2 (the second series not mission)

EDIT:i just checked the world editor, i see what you mean about the dt hero. i think you're right that its for razsagal

 

I personally think that that it's very possible that not all three races have an "Ultimate" unit such as the Protoss Mothership. Its possible that only the Protoss has such a unit and that the other two races have several other different units which are considerably stronger than most units but not as strong as the Mothership in order to balance it out. I'm making this comment based on the assumption that Blizzard did not specifically state all three races will have a unit similar to the Mothership (Ultimate Unit)....correct me if I'm wrong.

 

blizzard has said that the other races arnt getting an ultimate.

 

I think that the Nuke is already a good "super unit" for terren. Isnt the time for the nuke to drop made shorter? It certainly does the job if used right and I think the mothership is gonna work the same way. It all depends on how the player uses it. As for zerg I hope they get to produce 225 units insted of the traditional 200.

that way its all even steven

 

How about terrans make some big huge sphere like thing and it can suck units into its mouth...they can call it...unicron....yes....eater of worlds lol j/k

Though a big ship = to the mothership would be ok...like a super battle cruiser...as for abilities..hmm..

yamamoto burst..shoots serveral bursts like the yamamoto gun..
Perhaps an on board nuke that you can target for an instant shot (just one though)
Perhaps a shield that makes it invincible for a limited time.

Just an idea..

 

Hope Zerg don't get a kamikaze unit, that kind of sucks... If Terran DO get the Nuke as a 'super' thing, then having a kamikaze unit for Zerg wouldn't be too creative.... Zerg should have some like... awesome... alien... thing.

The mothership needs to be way the hell bigger.
