    Yes we all know that blizzard said that then might not give terren and zerg a super unit but picture this...

    Zerg King, sure maybe not a power house like the Protoss MotherShip but more a strategic unit that could hold his own in battle. He could be like a leech unit, he could eat units to get more powerful and wut not.

    wut else would added to him if he were real? im courious to hear wut people would add.

    hmm sounds good but I dont think zerg or terran should have super units like the ms because it goes with the protoss theme to have few but powerful expensive crap

    you posted this just to get minerals didn't you? lol

    a better name
    a spawning ability (eg lings or banelings only)
    infest units on the feild of battle.

    and this topic should be in the super units forum

    maybe a good thing but the " ... he could eat units to get more powerful ... " thing is like the lvl up system from warcraft 3 so it's out, if there will be heros in SC2 (and propobly there will be) we want them to be like in SC1 wyth stats thst don't change

    well i heard that soul hunters (protoss) get powered up for units that they kill or something thing like that. Maybe something around that nature could be given.

    Soul hunters have been cancelled because they failed the coolness test or something like that. But i think this idea is fine if there are some limitations (like it only can get powered up 5 times)

    At first I was adverse to the idea of not having ultimate units for Terran and Zerg, but now I'm really glad that they don't. It makes the MS stand out a lot more and I think with big mothers like the Thor or not, it gives a lot more color and variety to the races.

    That being said, I think the Zerg King idea seems pretty cool. Leveling up through devouring things would make sense for the zerg. However, again, this sort of seems to similar to WC3 heroes and what not.

    Having a single super unit really doesn't feel very zerg-like to me. And that just sounds like a bad unit.

    Instead of getting better from killing, it should just be a unit that is the new Ultralisk. Make it look like a huge Lurker and Iam happy. Not the burrowed spike-attack, more like fast attackrating claws cutting everything groundbound open :D

    zerg king = Kerrigan (well maybe Zerg Queen since it is an insectoid type race). How many Bee kings or Ant Kings are there?

    actually in retrospec the zerg king was the overmind. He passed the torch to Kerrigan when he got offed and the new overmind got UED'd (guess UED is now a verb).
