Starcraft 2 zerg units were revealed
As a big Starcraft 2 fan I was waiting with eager to see the new zerg units. Of course, I could get an idea from the previous movies Blizzard posted on the official Starcraft 2 site, but it was far from the real ones. What surprised me the most was the new Queen. Far better than the old idea, this one is a “true queen” of the swarm. Her main role is to protect the base against enemies. She can even turn all building into defensive structures. Pity it can be only one build. To be honest, I was very curios what zerg unit will be equivalent to Protoss MotherShip. I am still waiting for the Terran.
Anyway, thanks to Starcraft-Source.com, here are the new zerg units:
Roaches: very fast, absorbs a lot of damage.
Overload: old unit, it can create creep, has some new abilities, but it cannot detect invisible units without upgrading to Overseer.
Overseer: primary role detector
Queen: very powerful new unit, land only, has a lot of new abilities
Baneling: morphs from zerling, similar suicidal role as the old infested marine
Nydus Worm: like the old nydus channel, but now it works anywhere on the map.
Infestor: support unit; it can move only while is burrowed, can infest Terran buildings.
Swarm Guardian: like the old Guardian unit from original Starcraft, but it has some new abilities.
Zergling: first combat unit of the Zerg.
Hydralisk: similar to the original one
Mutalisks: similar to the original one, it still has the “bounce” attack
Lurker: similar role as in Starcraft I
Infested Marine: different role than in SC I, it has range attack
Ultralisks: best Zerg tank unit. Looks like is still very powerful
Corruptor: air to air new unit; it does not attack but it infests.
A good resolution movie I found here. I look forward to updates on Blizzard site.
