My point was that zerg air kept the same structure. An ATA unit (Old Devourer, New Corruptor), an ATG unit (old Guardian, new Brood Lord) and a unit that does bot (mutalisk). All of them with the same role. Not to mention that they lost the scourge.Quote:

And how else could it be? The Zerg as a race are defined by units that have a specific function. Except for a few generalists, Zerg units are very pigeonholed and specialized. They do very well in their specialties, but they are exactly that and nothing more.Quote:

Void Ray is the AtG (even though it can attack air)
Mutalisk is also the AtG (and can also attack air)
Viking is sorta AtA and AtG, in a different way
Broodlords are the large ship, even though their main focus is AtG
Diversity! Not everything has to be exactly the same.
Well thank you. Exactly what i said.Quote:

A goddam huge huge change from the first game.
And you say... how else it was supossed to be????? Oh you do... read again
Zergs got.... the same old scheme. No diversity as you said. The same old air units reworked. Now new air mechanic.
Edit: Wait a minute this is the lurker topic. Lol i got lost for a moment. Hahaha sorry for the off-topic
Viking is the ATA, Void Ray is the ATG.Quote:

...and you know what? The corruptor is STILL nothing like the Devourer. And has as much to do with it as it does the Valkyrie.
...so did the Terran and Protoss... most of the SC2 air units are just better versions of the SC1 air units.Quote:

Sometimes very drastically different air units, but they mostly still occupy the same roles.
I...wasn't saying anything against you, you know, no need to be snide.Quote:

If anything, I was agreeing with you that you can't just label these air units as, "this is the AtG unit, this is the big unit," etc.
