Zerg Buildings and.. frogs & doves?

[Broken_Lamb]

This is a really straight forward thread. I just want to know how many others would agree that the Evolution Chamber, Spawning Pool, Hydralisk Den, Lair and Hive desperately need new models [if not all, at least the Evolution Chamber.. its old model looked a lot, lot better.. almost perfect for the zerg]. I'm concerned about the Lurker Den and Ultralisk Cavern too, since they're practically the unit models covered with green sacs and/or zerg carapace; a little lazy don't you think?

I'm also curious as to why frogs inhabit Monlyth (you'll notice in the SP preview where the player attempts to retrieve an artefact on the planet 'Monlyth' you can hear frogs croaking). And also as to why doves can be seen in almost all jungle maps in the art panel? I mean sure, make it possible, but in SP, I hope not to see too many Earth-originated creatures... try replacing them with critters!

I have no issues with any of the Zerg Building models, its better if they look like the unit they help create to help new players understand.

I'll agree I would prefer alien critters on all counts.

The original Evolution Chamber looked like a giant nose...

I like the new one personally! In fact I like all the new Zerg models, the updated ones that is. Hatchery -> Hive is a little bit straight-forward but it still looks really cool.

Almost all the Zerg buildings look absolutely terrific in my opinion. Perhaps Lair and Hive could be made bigger and spikier than they are at the moment, there is little difference between the two as well, so it would be nice if Blizzard made them more distinct.

I like the new Evolution Chamber model by the way, very nasty and organic looking.

The way the Zerg buildings build now is one of the best building animations I've ever seen. They grow like a pus filled blister, (full of TEAM COLORED PUS, I might add!) with a dark creature swimming in it, membraneous, and skin like. It doesn't look like a growth on top of the creep like in SC1, it actually looks like it's growing OUT of the creep. It's quite awesome.

I have almost no opinion on the Zerg buildings.

However, hell yes to more crazy alien critters!

I am glad that they have fixed the Hive, in older versions, Hive looked like a little bigger Lair, almost no difference, but in latest videos from Blizzcon, we see that Hive is extremely big and looks a lot different then Hatchery or Lair! I am Fine with all Zerg buildings.

Actually The Hive hardly looks any different from the Lair. Check out their renderes. The Hive only has its spires raised up while the Lair is lowered.

I was talking abou Hive from Blizzcon 2009, look at those Videos you will see that it is much much different then Lair. That renders you are talking about are pre-Blizzcon build where Lair and Hive were almost the same.
