    Default Brood Lord and Broodlings

    I don't know if it is just me, but I think how the brood lord sends the broodlings at the ground troop is kinda funny. The flying broodling appears and the brood lord curls its tall downwards and the broodling flys towards the enemy. It loses it wings and starts attacking the the enemy from the ground. I think it would look better if the Brood lord launches its eggs at the ground troop. The egg would explode on impact and broodling would appear. Think about it and give me your thoughts.

    Thanks

    As I brought up in the Broodlord Model thread, I really don't like a lot of things about the unit. It still looks like an evolution from the Mutalisk, rather than the Corruptor. There's a lot on that Model that could use some work imo.

    How a flying biological bug manages to survive colliding with neosteel at high velocities and even cause damage to it is beyond me.

    If I ran and slammed my head as hard as I could against a brick wall I would probably die and not do any damage.

    I just pray that it's still in the single-player or in the Galaxy Editor.

    True, but Ultralisks did evolve mono-molecular blades... I'm sure the Zerg could develop something capable of surviving insane things like that.

    You never seen martial artists break bricks with their hands?
    You actually believe that there are no tricks to it? Why do you think they're always aligned the same way? I'd like to see these martial artists break a brick wall with their hands.

    Some of these are are baloney, sometimes they cut the center of the brick in a way you can't see it so that the pressure of the hit causes the thin center (since it was cut) to snap, forcing the brick in half.

    Zerg Carapace is very hard, and muscles are quite resilient, so perhaps these things are made mostly of Carapace and muscle, rather than being fully fledged creatures in their own right, ergo, they are resilient enough to survive, but without much in the way of organs they have a very limited lifespan.

    I highly doubt any sort of biological carapace can defeat something technologically created (fictional steel used for giant flying fortresses).

    Oh and regarding brick smashing.

    Watch this video, notice how every brick breaks down smoothly through the middle? Notice the end where you see little sticks lying on the floor? They intentionally create weakpoints in the brick so that it's actually POSSIBLE to break these bricks, why else do you think they stack them with a slight gap in between each brick?

    And just because you can break bricks that are specially set up in a certain way doesn't mean anything. Military designers don't create defense designs while purposely including flaws so that their guys can die faster.
