Zerg Queen[poll and guide]

^
i rkn, they need to make the queen abit faster. and y run? if ure gna die just fight to death.

 

exactly, she had a chance of surviving if she kept fighting the zealots, but as soon as she started to run she was doomed.

i think burrow is a very good investment now, helps keep your queen safe.

EDIT: did anyone notice in the video how when the queen died, her body instantly disappeared and there was just a little burst of blood, like when a zergling dies. i think they havent finished its death animation yet.

 

Wow i was watching some videos on youtube about the Zerg in Starcraft II and the Queen looks hella awesome. I do not really like the fact that only one queen, but its alrite. While watching these vids i think i will be using the zerg more

 

Of course.
Although the Swarm Clutch death animation is funny, cuz the pieces it breaks into are bigger than the actual cluster.

I know. Its stupid when players make units run when they're gonna die anyway. I'd stay put and get in as many hits as possible.

Also note that burrow is a tier 2 ability, so you won't be able to ambush Colossus techers.

 

"You have not enough minerals"
"You have not enough minerals"
"You have not enough minerals"
"You must construct additional pylons"

Its just as annoying as the original

The death animation for the swarm cltuched looked amusing, looking like a miniature blood nuke. And the queen's death definately isnt finished yet.

It looks like the zealot rush will be very potent against the zerg, and ling rush won't be as useful unless playing against terran.

 

Actually Zerg rush would be the same if all these players didn't try to expand and creating lots of Drones straight away.

 

After watching some gameplay video for the Zergs, I can conclude that the Queens are far from been a hero. 3 Zealots take down a Queen in no-time. Infact, the Queens look like a big pussy trying to flee from those Zealots everytime. They get taken out soo fast, that it's not even funny. Far from been a hero.

Queens are used mainly for defense simply because they move very slow. All her abilities are sorely for defense purposes.

 

Possible Shrieker/Creep Tumor:

 

I thought so too. I wonder what it actually is.

If it is a Shrieker, I hope they change the look of it.

 

It must be the Shrieker. The Shrieker's job is to detect invisible units and increase the attack range of the Swarm Clutch. What would do that better than an eye?
(It also looks like one of the Overseer's eyes, and both are supposed to be detectors)

 

yeah,,,,,,,,i agree..its a detector!!! muahahahahah...
umm...yeah. x]

 

New name.

 

So do creep tumors replace creep colonies?

That seems kinda bad. If you lose your ONE queen you lose the ability to expand your base as well as defend it. I hope we get backups in case things go bad

 

I can create a new one!?
But on the other side, the defensive building are very low-pricey, so I think the new sytem with the Queen is really good!

 

There is, you can build another one. The queen has a limit of one per player, meaning one at a time. Thus, if it dies, you no longer have one to max the limit and can build another.

Also, I think the overlord can make creep as well.

 

Yes. As we saw in the screenshots, twoOverlords was spreading creep. Its method of doing so looked shit tho...

 

except i think the overlords creep is only temporary, and will go away when the overlord stops casting it similar to how creep goes away when its creep colony dies.

 

Yeah, it has been confirmed (somewhere...) that the creep generated by the Overlord will dissipate just a few seconds after it stops channeling it (yes, it works pretty much like the Phase Prism's ability).

 

I think this move was best for the Zerg as the Queen actually provides them much more than it would seem. As now we do not need to worry about producing drones for defensive buildings. Now we also have a unit that has no need to go to the front line. The Zergs defense after its army is gone was its greatest weakpoint in Sc1. With the Queen they now can defend from attacks without wasting time on producing a Drone and the following structure chain. All in all great improvement. over the previous defense system.

 

Yeah, and waiting till a building regenerates was awful. With an ability to selectively restore one building a Zerg can fend-off hit-and-runs and suicidal attacks more easily. It fits more the profile of a die-hard race to have means for restoration than trying to keep the enemies away till regen was complete.

If a Hive is on the brink of destruction, a Queen can use its mana to save it. and therefore the entire colony can be rebuilt from scratch having their highest tier-locking building still standing.
