    Well how about a super mutated ultralisk?

    Or even a caster like a super defiler, not being able to attack by itself but turning the tides by good casts and tactics?

    Zerg is all about "strength in numbers." Their strength is the ability to reproduce very
    rapidly. My guess is they will get a special building, an Incubator, that can either train units much faster or that spawns units automatically.

    yea i agree that zerg should just be numbers. but i think they should let you click more units than just what it looks like now. it sort of looks like what, 25 units able to be clicked i think.

    "Currently, unit selection is unlimited, but this may change with further development and testing." -- Blizzard Q & A 1 Excerpt

    Anyway, if the Zerg had a super unit, the Terrans justly deserve incendiary weapons.

    Well if they do it'll probably be something you can make a lot of quickly or allows you to make a lot of something quickly.
    As for terrans:

    MLRS
    The Multiple Launch Rocket System combines a modified Bradley chassis with an M270 surface-to-surface missile launcher that can fire up to 12 bomblet-filled missiles in less than 60 seconds. A single strike can deliver over 8,000 bomblets at targets over 20 miles away.

    That would be awesome.

    Ok, IMO
    Protoss: Mother ship
    Zerg: ....Meh, maybe the Nydus Worm, if anything it's gonna be underground, and hopefully be able to move like that.
    Terran: Giant Battleship? Most likely a flyer, but ya never know, it might be something like the colossus, size-speaking.

    I doubt the terrans will get anything bigger than a battlecruiser.

    The term 'super unit' or 'ultimate unit' doesn't have to mean the unit is similar to the mothership in attributes, cost, and limitation. All it means is a special unit or building that is unique from the rest. So I say yes, there could and probably will be zerg and terran super units.

    Instead of a super unit, it can be something a long the lines of a plague nuke that works something like this:

    You build some kind of crap unit costing maybe 250 mins/gas, with at most 100 hp. When this unit is killed by normal means, nothing happens, but when something special occurs, say a queen broodlings it, It explodes in a giant cloud of plague that covers many of the enemies buildings and units. This will also eat away at shields. :thumbup:

    just more swarms(larvae) for the zergs and new strong ground units for the terrans (like a new tier 3 goliath maybe).

    Zerg "Mega" Unit Idea

    i was thinking about this the other day, and about how the Protoss have the Mothership and the Terran have the Thor. well what if the Zerg had a huge Beetle-esque tank-like unit that could be like a really slow manufacturer that can lay eggs anywhere it goes. it could be a very terrifying and valuable unit to the Zerg. granted there would have to be a certain limit on how many eggs it could lay, but the fact that it would be like a tier 6 unit would add an interesting strategy to the game. in addition it could also spit out a stream of green shit (acid, slime, what have you) on ground units. with its obvious weakness being air-to-ground.

    if you have any more ideas for a Zerg "Mega" Unit or if you want to add to my idea feel free.
