What new units would you like to see?

Re: Idea for a new Zerg ground unit

It's actually quite obvious yeah, Duran's schemes, and the whole overmind quest to unite purity of essence with purity of form.

 

Re: Idea for a new Zerg ground unit

Exactly. without adding the hybrids in to SC2 in some capacity, the story will seem stagnant and dull.

 

Re: Idea for a new Zerg ground unit

Geez its been 5+ years since i beat BW on the single player campaigns. Can you refresh my memory as to exactly what happened during the bonus missions?

Re: Idea for a new Zerg ground unit

Thanks!

 

Protoss Wyrm
Type: Anti-Air Air Unit
Food: 5
Mineral Cost: Low
Gas Cost: Very High (talking like 400)
Base Damage: 18
Sight: 8
Range: 4
Speed: Very Fast
Cooldown: See Bellow
Base Health: 130
Base Shields: 170
Special Abilities:
ATA Shield: The Wyrm's shield is only effective against attacks from other air units, protecting it from it's targets. However this leaves it vulnerable to attacks from ground units and defensive structures.
Plasma Cone: The Wyrm attacks by releasing a form of plasma that ignites when removed from it's special holding container, causing a flame-like cone. This cone hit's everything in it's range, which is 3 long and 5 wide at the far end. The plasma is much hotter then fire so it can easily damage a ship. The corsair attacks constantly when an enemy is in range, dealing 18 damage a second.
Permanent Cloak: The Wyrm uses Dark Templar energy to keep it permanently invisible.
Description: The Wyrm, a name that means the mightiest of dragons, is a ship developed by combining the Dark Templar energies with the basic concept of a corsair. Just bigger and a lot stronger. The Wyrm still isn't widely used yet because of it's more specialized roll then the Pheonix and higher cost of Vespain Gas.

 

toss don't need more AA

 

i agree. protoss have tons of anti air weapons. their static defenses are anti air and anti ground, the warp ray is good vs heavy air, the phoenix is good vs light air, the stalker is good vs air, the immortal might be, and everything else is good vs ground

 

ii think blizzard actually used some of these, as for bring this back.. i think its a interesting long lost thread

 

Thanks surr. I Couldn't figure out where this topic was and no one has responed to it it wasnt in my "new replies" section.

Terran Hellhound
Type: Heavy Battle Platform
Food: 5
Mineral Cost: Vey High
Gas Cost: Very Higher
Base Damage: 20 each (up to 4 targets at a time)
Sight: 12
Range: 6
Speed: Slow
Cooldown: 12
Base Health: 400
Special Abilities:
Garrisons: Up to 8 units may be stationed inside the Platform. Any ranged untis (which is just about everything in a Terran Army) can attack any targets that come within thier normal range.
Air Repairs: One aircraft can enter the Platform at a time. When inside, it slowly regains Health without the usual resource cost for repairing ships. Heals at a rate of 1 Health per second. It cannot attack like other units stationed inside the platform.

 

I was going through the files of starcraft units I created and i found a very old Weapon and Armor Damage Multipliers I made for the original SC, but never got around to doing anything with.

Attack Type and Armor Damage Multipliers

Light Armor Medium Armor Heavy Armor
Light Normal x1.00 x0.50 x0.25
Medium Normal x1.50 x1.00 x0.50
Heavy Normal x2.00 x1.50 x1.00
Light Explosive x1.50 x0.50 x0.25
Medium Explosive x2.00 x1.00 x0.50
Heavy Explosive x3.00 x1.50 x1.00
Laser x1.50 x1.00 x1.00
Light Psionic x1.00 x1.00 x1.00
Medium Psionic x2.00 x2.00 x2.00
Heavy Psionic x3.00 x3.00 x3.00
Light Biological x1.00 x0.50 x0.25
Medium Biological x2.00 x1.00 x0.50
Heavy Biological x3.00 x 1.50 x1.00


Weapon Type Key:
Light - Weak, basic weapons. Form the most common weapons in the game.
Medium - Powerful, but not awesome weapons. Most Tier 2 units would have these.
Heavy - The most powerful and devastating weapons. Only on major artillery or heavy aircrafts.

Normal - Basic Weapons such as guns, metal blades or even a tanks cannon.
Explosive - Weapons that cause an explosion. Doesn’t necessarily have to cause splash (vultures fragmentation grenades or wraiths AA missiles, for example, are explosive).
Laser - A type of weapon that uses focused heat to burn through armor. Common on Aircrafts and Protoss units
Psionic - Weapons created of pure psionic energy and ignore armor. (Psi Blades and Warp Blades)
Biological - Any attack using an organism’s natural weapons (Claws, teeth, fists, legs….). All Zerg use biological attacks except for guardians which count as explosive.

Armor Type Key:
Light - Basic armor worn by units not expected (or wanted) to live for long. Normally on Tier 1 units.
Medium - Heavier metal armor or reinforced carapace plates that can withstand heavy fire power.
Heavy - Thick, tough and very effective armor found on the largest ships and biggest creatures.

I can't remeber why i made it anymore, and I'm not enirely sure why im posting it now (or why in this thread) but I just thought I'd put it out there.

EDIT: Srry if it looks kinda funny. The chart didn't turn up in this so i had to space them myself and even that isnt working right.

 

to the poster above me

not all use biological in zerg

just look at multa, devour, and...wait..hydars shoot spines so...um...plague?

 

Mutas attack with a Glaive WORM so that should count as biological. The hydras spines are like bullets so they could be normal instead of bio. And the devourer uses acid......What should acid fall into?
