    The difference is that you save space + All the other buildings have more hp, so they would last longer.

    I suggest they make a building for zerg that can expand. e.g...

    "Build a [Spawning Pool] and it grows with the population count, :eek: so it takes up more area the larger the food used..."

    Its not a good idea, but its funny.

    No thank you. I don't want to build something and have it turn into a road block half way thrgough the game.

    I would like some kind of unit that can mutate into a makeshift creep colony to give just enough of a ring of creep to put a real colony down.

    Blizz should make the creep expand faster.
    At the current rate is like watching moss grow and those seconds waiting for your creep to grow could be bad for you in the end

    They made creep expand slowly on purpose so Zerg players don't have the advantage of being able to place expansions too fast. It was how they balanced the Zerg with the other two races. An upgrade to increase creep growth rate sounds good though.

    i personally think they made the creep expand way too slow. I understand that it is used to balanced the growth of zerg, but at the current rate, it toke almost 2 minutes to fully expand.

    having the creep expand slowly is really bad because with terran and protoss you can instantly build buildings at the entrance to your expansion and with zerg u have to wait to get your defences away from your hatchery.

    As in the original Starcraft, I'm sure that the Zerg creep's rate of expansion will be balanced taking into account other Zerg mechanics as well as Protoss and Terran ones. Yeah it was a little bit annoying to wait for the creep to form - but if it was any faster Zerg would've have an advantage. Gameplay over realism/convenience EVERY time.

    About Zerg Buildings: I don't like the way they are built... When you place it, it becomes a nice, disgusting blob with tentacles, but instead of evolving gradually to the full building, it suddenly pops as the building.... I think it would be a lot nicer to make it gradually mutate all the way to the full, constructed building... Don't you guys agree?

    That is not even how the mutating of Drones into buildings works. The blob is just a membrane that covers the unit untill it is ready. Just like an egg or a coccoon. The burst you see is the membrane bursting open and the building emerging from the creep. It should stay like this in my opinion.

    Perhaps I didn't look in detail, but for me, the building dont pop from the blob, the blob simply disappear and the completed building appear. If it really is as you described, I think it is cool....

    It was like that in Starcraft 1. I am sure of that, since I was just playing it. Just remember that the visuals of Starcraft 2 still need a lot of work, the bursting will probably be fixed in a whie if it isn't perfec yet. The same goes for the colors and other animations of the buildings. By the way Sakujo, if you dislike the Zerg, then why even bother playing the game, or post at these forums? They will be in the game anyway, so complaining about it has no use, it only irritates people.

    The cover rips open and then disappears because it dies away/gets consumed.

    Yes, I agree with you, I am OK with the building bursting from the blob, as long as it really bursts, because I just double checked it, and they just "appear" where the blob is... I hope this really gets fixed... And about Sakujou, let him talk, let's remember his name and teach him on B.net what the Zerg are made of once SC 2 comes out :D

    Yeah I don't mind the blob. My only hope is that the blob grows steadily instead of magically popping up to the next membrane size.
