it means terran players won't mass tanks and sit pretty in their bases, waiting while all other players combat each other's face out (any ground based threat that tries to attack the terran will be pulverized to bits by the tanks)...then just when an emerging faction rises to be the winner of the melee among the other players, the terran player swoops in and crush the victor.....

Who cares if queen doesnt evolve? All it does is sit in base.

Anyways, what dont you get about the tank thing?

i care about the queen T.T ive always thought it cool and intimidating for economy raiders (reapers/stalkers) to scramble away once a HUGE 600-hitpoint queen unborrows right in front of them

Well we could make a decision of whether to upgrade your Queen into a more powerful base defender or to invest resources on other stuff. The scrapping of the Large and Huge Queens kinda saddened me. But Razor Swarm seems interesting.

Ah yes, it seems the Phoenix had its overload replaced (stupid decision if you ask me) with Anti-gravity.

I agree.

Can you also sum up the infestor and explain the lore on it spawning the infested terrans? (Medavas)
The Infestor now has 3 new abilities: Neural Parasite, Fungal Infestation and Spawn Infested Terrans. Neural Parasite is a basic 10 second mind control, and yes it works on workers also. Fungal Infestation deals damage over time to a single target. Once the unit is killed it will explode dealing damage in an area. The spell cannot be removed so the unit dies no matter what. Lastly the Infestor spews 5 eggs from its back. The eggs start growing until they hatch into Infested Terran. Honestly the lore makes no sense and Dustin said they were trying different play styles with the Infestor at the time.

Neural Parasite sounds nice but it shouldn't affect mechanical units as well. But I hate Fungal Infestation and the infested terrans thing. Fungal Infestation means a KO to any unit, big or small! How can that be? And the infested terrans thing could be better if the eggs spawn Broodlings instead.

[quote="gearvOsh][Is the mothership still warped from the nexus? (scmapz)
stebo88 - Yes it is, its the highest teir, 400, minerals, 400 gas, no food limit for the Mothership. May I also note, the mothership will not let you down. Its good for almost any battle.

gearvosh - It also has an amazingly sick animation when its spawned.

Wow, the new MS makes me excited. Wish there is a vid of the MS spawn animation.

Hell, it's about time...

I agree with others that the protoss have now too many disabling spells and that the mothership's vortex and timebomb seem like an epic overlap. Also, infester can cast spells while burrowed...now that's tough.
Also the queen's new swarm ability is good but does that swarm act entirely as a unit once created; meaning can it be attacked?
Also do targetting drones act as units that can be moved and ordered to target a specific enemy or do they just sit where they were initially constructed and/or mark random enemies?
Can u manually aim auto-turrets?
R u sure targetting drones r airborne...it looked as if they hovered in some of the screenshots?

Is ti me or do the Zerg seem so underpowered compared to the protoss and Terran. They seemed kinda balanced at first but now Queen is crap, infestor has lost its infest ability and now has some retarded ass ones, the only good things that have been added are the banlings and the roach, but, they'll probably f*** that too. I mean look at it, helions, maruders, nighthawks, all kick ass. Cmon the Zerg need a serius boost.

NOOO!!!! *cry* My poor infester...WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU?!! *cry* Giving birth to infested marines...phoenixs lifting guys into the air like a crane...and the poor queen...THE QUEEN!!!...Why? Blizzard was making it very definent that the queen was esposed to be literally that, the queen. Sheesh, like look at the alien queen (from alien, the movie) shes awesome, and kicks ass. Aint that what blizzard was trying to do? Also, either keep vortex or timebomb, not both...maybe make it a choice like with the BC, only different.

Is it true that the carrier has a range of 12? I mean that is very long almost as long as the siege tank and it is far longer then the swarm guardian.

Also is the Cloaking field a permanent passive ability?
