    Blizz said that they wouldn't have any equivilent. At least thats what I heard. The sides are supposed to be asymmetrical so it makes sense.

    There's no super-pwning-unit for Terran or Zerg.
    To counter the Mothership, the zerg will use mass numbers. There's already been talk that Zerg might have a higher unit cap than the Protoss.
    While the Terran will have something in between

    terran and zerg dont get a uberunit and as for the mothership thing, i think thats just kinda rigged. i mean the one thing starcraft had over almost all the other RTS games was that there was no ONE unit that can take out an entire base/army single handedly. like in RA2 one aircraft carrier can screw over so much shit, but starcraft units were so well balanced between all the races that it was almost the perfect RTS game. and did u see how many fucking marines and other shit that one thing took out? i mean in SC1 nothing can take out that many marines alone, not even heros (thats assuming they arent cloaked or something). but then again, i hope we can trust blizzard in making a balanced game.

    P.S. wouldnt it suck if u finally made a mothership, and a measly little ghost came by and locked it down?

    Well Blizz have said, in pretty much the same breath that they told us there'd be no Terran/Zerg uber-unit, that there would be counters against the Mothership. It's by no means invincible.

    My only hope is that the Mothership's spells affect the player's own units as well, then there won't be such a huge need for an equivalent unit for the others because it would tend to make the Mothership a more solo-oriented unit = more easily destroyed.

    Oh, and can that dragon shoot ice breath, and possibly be called a Frost Wyrm?

    And you, friend, are welcome to post your ideas and suggestions on the battle.net forums.

    He may have some merit with the idea of a mythical beast.

    Given the chaotic gene blending that the Zerg relish in, it's not too far of a stretch to imagine a Chimera-like creature.

    At least not for me.




    And I love his name. Maybe that made me sympathetic..... :-\

    Yea it's not that unbelievable for the Zerg to have a creature like that but I'd rather they steered clear of it to be honest.

    :stupid: i think that the zerg and terrans strongist units should be revamped so that the Ultralisks and the battlecruisers are more powerful and stunning like in the first game. the Overmind(or an Undermind) should be available only as an upgrade for the hive.

    Ultralisk even stronger? I think the reason that its expensive and has 400 hp and a bigass attack is the reason no one uses it. One broodling or mind control spell and its dead/taken over.

    It would be great, I'm not sure if the other two races will have any type of ultimate unit comparable to the mothership. The mothership to me just seems like something that is going to take way too much time and resources to produce (by which time you are probably dead not being able to invest in other necessary things).

    They will defiantly have something strong enough to counter such a thing though.

    Probably. The mothership's time bomb stops everything within the field... although when the field runs out, I guess the scourge will just attack again =/

    Im starting to think the xel naga will be an NPC race, with just a couple of units for show. As for the protoss/zerg hybrids, I think they will be incorperated into the zerg somehow (perhaps a super unit for zerg ??) . This way the zerg's status as the all-be villainous race isnt replaced by an even more dangerous creation :good: But I dont know, just a guess ;D

    I have an idea.

    Imagine a carrier, yes, a Protoss carrier, BUT..

    This time in ZERG form, like a bigger Devourer.

    Hmm what about interceptors? How about SCOURGE like intereceptors? hmmm.. sounds neat to me, because I play Zerg/Terran. :)

    Scourge interceptors will be very frightening to go up against....I mean they do 110 damage each.
    Or maybe a zerg unit that generates flying broodlings every 2 seconds.......
