Why hasn't Kerrigan attacked?

how did I never think of that? Arrrgggg! I should have done that rather than just rush them into the enemy base and attack his production buildings.

 

can't make units without resources lol and your sarcasm is amusing lol

 

what if kerrigan lost the ability to open warp holes, i mean, those things were opened with psionic energy and the cerebrates all died, killing of most of the psionic energy

 

Maybe managing all the broods by herself is too tough for her. Even the overmind couldn't do it.

 

IMO Kerrigan hasn't attacked because she has spent this time infesting ghosts that will help her control the broods. She has many zerg on many planets, and it might take a while for her to get everything under control. Either way IMO it adds to the mystery of the zerg that was missing in brood war.

In brood war she got around the galaxy through warp rifts she opened herself. She didn''t have any cerebrates helping her, even her pet cerebrate was just a plot device.

 

in brood war she still had a couple of cerebrates

 

Yeah, but you have to remember that Kerrigan is one of the most psionically gifted beings in the universe. It would be easy for her to open up a warp hole with or without cerebrates.

 

you forget that even the overmind needed to prepare to go to warp as well, and he was a mountainbig brain. kerrigan doesnt have the strength to fully contain the broods, when she loses her temper, or another strong psyonic being comes along, she loses full control, even zeratul was able to disrupt one of her broods, the one under her direct control.

 

She's fully capable of controlling all the broods herself. After the events of Brood War she killed all the cerebrates, and if she couldn't control them it would have been just plain stupid to kill them. That implies that she had full control over her broods.

 

in the novels it was revealed that she could control her broods while in a calm state, but when she became angry her hive was half-destroyed

 

I think all we really need to know is this quote.

She only had one cerebrate under her control, whose existence we're not even sure of anymore. Where you getting this info?

Theres no evidence that he had to prepare or that it was even him opening up the warp.

 

you can hear in the campaign talks that the overmind needed to prepare, so i automatticaly thought it was him opening the rifts


http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Overmind#Powers_of_the_Overmind

 

They needed to prepare because the protoss were chasing them around. Also, in the wiki the sources that they use don't really show the overmind opening up the rift as a fact. Still,its probably him. I'm just saying we have no proof of it.

 

She hasent attacked because she is really just building up an army to go on the attack she can see that Protoss and Terran are tearing up eachother once weak enough all heck will break lose Terran and Protoss both scrambled around and not ready for the attack she is evil but a genius

 

Hmmm.... I think everyone is going towards Kerry "preparing" to whatever there would be..... that's original....

anyhow, how about looking at her from another perspective? Not as a queen of Zerg that is her NOW rightful fate and destiny molded by Overmind, but as an individual?

We have to know that when Overmind created her, she still had Humanoid form. She wasn't full Zerg, and therefore, even Overmind had no full control of her. And also remember that she had to get information about Ghost projects to fully become mind that of a Zerg. In other words, She was still human. Her mind might be partly controlled by Overmind, has few neat tricks up her sleeves thanks to her superior physical body, and she might even have few physical changes..... but Her physical for the most part is still human. Because of this, I some cerebrates came to estimate that her age would be that of average human.... more or less; in exchange of her superior powers and physical ability.

Also remember WHY Overmind chose Kerry as the next leader of swarm. She was unique amongst all other ghosts. In fact, her brain wave was MUCH like that of Zerg than other humans. Because of that, Overmind knew that he didn't need to change her as much as other humans to make her part of the swarm. It is possible that she is by far THE most "uninfested" human that is part of the Zerg Swarm.
Of course, because of that, she tried to make herself more "Zergish" by undoing her Ghost training and destroying various things that reminded her of her "human" life. Example? She killed all those scientists that knew her in that Science Vessel during Zerg Mission.

She noticed her limitations from square one of her rule. She didn't have exactly the same control over her Cerebrates like her "father", Overmind, did. Her power didn't reach to EVERYONE, but instead, reached only to her "pet" Cerebrates. Even Duran, whom she THINKS she infested, wasn't necessarily under her full control, whereas Overmind had limited, but somewhat hold on Even the most rebellious over his subordinates... which happens to be Kerry herself. Overmind probably saw through this during his millions of thoughts... that no one would be able to control ALL of Zerg like he could. So he chose Kerrigan as his successor even though he will never die because He knew that if he died, Zerg will become wild and unorganized. Kerrigan was sort of his backup plan, because he knew that Kerrigan can live WITHOUT Overmind, and will not grieve over him like almost ALL the Cerebrates did. She will move on rather quickly, and knowing her, Overmind foresaw that Kerry will try to become next "Overmind". Overmind Probably also foresaw that she will have difficulty controlling Zerg, but Overmind also knew that Humans were Species that can evolve without external sources, like ALL Zergs have to. Overmind knew that Kerrigan will try and try to be able to become much like Overmind himself, eventually controlling all of Zerg like Overmind did........ a perfect backup in Overmind's part.

So Kerrigan wasn't intending on anything besides herself. She knew her limitations now because of her fight with rest of the world. She knew that Cerebrates had no reason to disobey her now, because she proved to them how powerful she is. But Kerrigan also probably knew that this "Rule of Fear" won't last forever. She wanted to become like Overmind, where she had ABSOLUTE Loyalty from Cerebrates. She probably also wanted MORE power.... and just like every emperor/empress, trying to solve her own limitations of "immortality" that she knew she didn't have.




So to summarize: Kerrigan's intention for halting Zerg movements were not because she couldn't control the Zerg, nor was it because she wanted better troops. She wanted better control over herself. All the evolution came because she probably wanted better brood, or it happened naturally during Cerebrates' everyday lives...... noticing that even in THAT short time where Zerg lost Overmind, Zerg still managed to evolve.... like Lurkers and Devourers. In 4 years worth of time..... even without Kerry's orders, Zerg would've still evolved into stronger creatures.

Kerri's objective probably was to become second Overmind. To have ABSOLUTE control over her Cerebrates and to find out how to become more "Zergish" to find out how to become Immortal, like Cerebrates and Overmind.




That's my thoughts, at the very least.

 

Olol 2007.

 

just noticed... wow....

 

Your Logic is rad. but its still a speculation anyway so ill give that a 70% chance

 

Yay! I pass!!!

Well, it is just my thought... maybe it is like what everyone else thinks.... Blizzard has tendency to bore me with lores.......

 

post from 2007...

and she still hasn't invaded?

i think its because she can't control them as well as the overmind could.
