No, not creep, CREEPS!

[MurderMode]

I've just been thinking bout this and I'm not sure if I am reading too much into it or what not.... but this is from way back in batch 6.

Will there be critters units and can they attack?

There will be critters, but they wont attack. If they did they would be creeps.

Does the response Karune gave hint that there are going to be creeps in the game?

Now obviously I know that they won't serve a purpose in melee because units don't level, so I'm thinking along the lines that they might be including them in single player to beef up the starcraft universe, instead of just revolving around the terran, protoss and zerg. I mean zerg assimilate different species to form their own, so it would make sense that other life forms that are naturally aggressive would form part of the game.

Anyways, I'm just interested in this from a map editing perspective. More units will make for more interesting custom scenarios. On top of that, does anyone have an idea of what different terrain sets are going to be included ingame? Does anyone have any more information on this kind of stuff?

Critters are the little fluffy neutral units that wander around the map. Sheep, penguins, vultures...

They already existed in Starcraft, nothing new really.

Take a look at the screenhots? Ask Blizzard?
A grassy/jungle type tileset, a spacestation, a desert, some volcanic planet (with flowing lava <3) and a blue planet, kinda like the Underground tileset.

No, not critters, CREEPS. Warcraft 3 creeps. Nuetral Hostiles is what I'm talking about... I get the feeling that they are definately going to expand the world this time. There has been alot of time between batch 6 and now so I just wanted to know if they have given out any more info on those kind of things. I've never been so much into melee games as I have the single and custom games.

And as for my terrain question, what I was meaning to ask is if there is a site stockpiling the info people have taken from the screens, etc. Althought I have found the www.sc2armory.com to be pretty good

oh thx for ur terrain list btw

Giant space spiders? W00t!

I don't know what you read there but it seems pretty clear to me there won't be any creeps.

If there aren't Heroes in singleplayer, why should there be creeps?
They are basically there to level heroes. Although you can get tiny amount of gold from them.

I think they'll be another one of those things which you can do in the editor, but won't appear in-game.

Creeps are fun.

No offense but use common sense, did it or did that quote not just say there wouldn't be creeps...there would be critters like starcraft... karune didn't hint anything, and besides, there wouldn't be a purpose for them, its meant for heroes

 

[Whitesock]

Why would there be creeps in sc2?

There are no heros that would benefit from them, so they would never be attacked.

EDIT: Wait, that is just what punwisp said. =/

 

[MeRcChRiS]

Im sure they would be critters making them just extra details to the game. No creeps.

 

[Dakho]

There could be creeps just because there aren't heroes.... they can find other uses for them, it's not set in stone they have one purpose.

 

[Black Hawk]

The only reason to put them is to anoy players, defending the gas or crystal stuff or single player campaign, defending paths to important objectives. Other than that, creeps are useless.

I would think creeps would be long gone in space. Especially when the planets .. etc battle areas are under warefare ;P

along the lines of creeps only for heroes, what if they put heroes in sc2 OH NOEZ :shock:
such as that human turned zerg bitch u play as in the broodwar (cant remember her name havnt played sc in years) i have a feeling shes in SC2, did she not take over the whole universe in sc....? maybe theyll make her a hero and other people heroes and give them levels like in wc3
OMG HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT
OH HE DID
yes we all know that sc fans hate wc!

creeps can find a place in starcraft. they can guard expansions and such or just be places in certain points on the map to block paths like someone said above me. theyre not solely for hero leveling and such. i would personally love creeps in starcraft. for instance, the fact that those giant scorpion things in the desert tileset in scI didnt attack really annoyed me. something that big that looks like that should attack just about anything taht comes near it. besides, they would definitely add something to the starcraft universe.
