There's a bit more detail into the Queen's role, as well as an addressing of the problem of MBS and macro. I'm really glad to see they're trying to make macro more difficult (as this is a MAJOR complaint by a LOT of fans), and I hope they find a good way to balance that out. As for the Queen, it'll be interesting to see how she plays out, but I'm not entirely sure how the concept will feel in game... Time will tell.

EDIT: There's also some neat artwork there.

If you think about it, the Queen is the Zerg "Giga" unit. It supposedly compares to (or at least stands somewhat of a chance to) the Protoss Motherships and the Terran Thors.

I hate their obsession of green sacs and multiple eyes and retarded placement obsession. Other than that, I love the Puss Puss. Good thing that lost it's eyes, but I don't know why they replaced the circular over the triangle.

I asked my brother "What is it like coming out from the same vagina as me?" and had an awesome response.

No they kept BCs normal.

Thors are built individually by SCVs. They are most likely the 'super' terran unit.

You are always wrong. Sorry to inform you. :bleh:

But think about it. Its somewhat considered (or atleast in league) of the Mothership and the Thor. These units are just presented individually.

BCs have individual upgrade thingy now, and thors are no longer built by SCVs.

Yeah, the BC regular attack is not one focused laser anymore, but multiple per volley. And each BC is individually upgraded to have the Yamato Gun added or to have a "SWARM OF LAZERZ" ability added.
