Nydus Beasts

[UWanaPiecAMeBoy]

Blades of Auir and I thought it would be really cool if they thought of some way to invent a nydus attack unit, for example, alot of ground worms in real life turn into moths, or beetles, if the zerg got a nydus bettle, think what it could do, obviously the biggest unit in the swarm with burrow, or maybe just have nydus queen, a completely invis giant undergroung worm that pops out of the ground and eats things.

idk, anyway, what kind of ideas do you guys have on combat nydus?

 

[Merovingian]

i think they should make the worm attack.

if they have too many teleporting zerg attack thingys it'd be unfair for the other 2 races...

 

[Crosby]

i think the nydus is going to kick ass as it is. I think its going to be too big an advantage for the zerg, regardless of how far up the tech chain you have to go to get it.
The only way to balance it would be to limit the nydus to 20 units per minute or something like that. Even the protoss teleport doesnt compare to the nydus for offensive plays.

Adding attack to the nydus... that would just make it too powerful.

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

We are not suggesting the Nydus itself have an attack, just that there be other units of the Nydus lineage: Possible evolutions in a new and interesting species. Perhaps they will replace Ultralisks with the aforementioned Nydus Beetles, as the Dragoons were by the Immortals.

or some kind of moth, lots of worms go through metomorphoses and become flyers.

but then we'd be back to the "race to the finish" thread.

 

[FatAlbert]

with the history of the zerg, blizzard developers can do anything, simply because the zerg evolve fast and assimalate fast. There is really no telling what they could have by now, so all unit ideas are viable.

since they are taking out everything not nessicary to starcraft, im pictureing somekind of nydus subteraniun killer to repace the lurker. idk tho.

 

[Merovingian]

nooo the lurker's too awesome to take out

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

Hasn't there already been a picture in the fan art of a lurker? *goes to look*

And they can't take Lurkers out. Lurker form is basically an ability of the Hydralisk and there is no way in hell to take them out of the game. Although, evolutionary lines do cease to exist...

 

[Merovingian]

anyway we all know that in the hands of a skilled korean player lurkers are useless against marines

well thank god most of the world isnt korean

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

You can say that again... We regular people need a fighting chance too.

 

[UWanaPiecAMeBoy]

im wanna move to korea...

although i dun wanna be a commie...

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

Why would you move there? Isn't it North Korea, the crazier half, that's so obsessed over Starcraft? I can think of a million better places to go.

 

[FatAlbert]

actually is our democratic friends in South Korea that are so good at SC.

 

[Merovingian]

yeah. the outside world doesnt know much about nk at all

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

They are secretly building Nuclear Weapons... Right next to their Command Centers.

 

[Merovingian]

you bastard, i laughed while reading that while drinking soup-.-

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

My mission in life is complete. Enjoy your hot, scalding soup. ^^
(Really though, I'm sorry about that.)

 

[UWanaPiecAMeBoy]

cool, so i can continue to use the word commie as the ultimate, all-purpose diss
