how do i generate creep

[andreasaspenberg]

i am currently playing with the zerg. however after creep colonies were removed i dont know how to permanently generate creep.
i figured it out. the queeen have to place creep tumors.

 

[Sware]

There are new multiple ways to generate creep with Zerg in Starcraft II.

1. Creep Tumors that are generated by a Queen they are self replicating so when you place one, you can goto the one you placed and make a new on so you can generate the whole map with one Creep Tumor unless somone destroys it.
2. The creep generated by Overlords which generate creep when you make a Lair out of a hive. It's constant creep generations while the Overlord is not moving in a small area.
3. Nydus Worm when spawned generates creep around it.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i knew that already.

 

[thisruoy]

He suggested you three possibilities. He had no idea that you knew either of those methods. Be nice and give him rep for helping you out.

It's kinda confusing since we are used to expand creep by building those colonies which upgrade to defence structures

It's kind of confusing since the game has different graphics, and we're use to the old ones.

it took me till my second time as zerg to figure out the creep tumors XD
The nidus worms a rather funny building, its interesting how you can go out any entrance, although it would be nice if it were automated, aka if the shortest route from A to B, is through the worm, its used..

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the nydus worms work like the network used by the GLA in command and conquer generals.

 

[Gorthag]

SC 1 had A to B system but I think this one is better, now you can fill your network whit units, spawn some worms in the enemies base and facepalm you enemy whit zerglings the moment the worm surfaces, instead of having to move your units into one end and have them come out the other

 

[Bloody_Turds]

yea the only improvement i could see for nidus warms, is AI, that enables your units to automatically use them, if its a quicker route to their destination

(similar to waygates in warcraft 3)

That would eliminate some micro. It's also not more than a quick right click on it.
Shouldn't be that hare to know where you placed them.

I've noticed they act much like DoW2's Tyranid's Tunneler's tunnels.

last night i filled the map with creep by using creep tumors as well as nydus worms. check the screenshots. the purple areas on the minimap is creep. i used some overlords as well.

You sir, just got nominated for persistent assing O___o
Seriously, how long did that take to do :O? Wtf?!
That's insane dude :S

+Rep for you

i have done the same thing with blight in warcraft 3. i am somewhat of a fan of corrupting an entire map.

That's... i guess... fun... and insane ...
You really need to work on that addiction...

 

[Zypher]

Lol, and now I know what creep is

Didn't even know what those things did. I always put it in the center of my buildings cause it mentioned something about feeding buildings.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i corrupt maps as a hobby.

lol, feeding buildings

 

[Hero_Lief]

lol, feeding buildings

Well technically, that's what creep does, lore-wise... Helps the zerg move around and feeds them.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

thats what the creep do to the zerg. what it do to the environment however is corrupt it. trees die for example.

 

[Hero_Lief]

Well, in-game it helps both as it feeds buildings and they regenerate/build and helps zerg move faster in-game. But it doesn't help a fully healed Zerg building.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

zerg buildings die if they arent on creep. i got this information by playing starcraft 2.

 

[Hero_Lief]

Because they die of starvation, because creep feeds Zerg, especially the Crawlers.
